Wow, thanks everyone! I felt as though I was rambling incoherently

Byzantine - NO, my doctor is not a psychologist, but at the office I go to, they have a psychologist on staff. However, I need a referral from my physician to the psychologist to be able to use my medical discount.

Rapunzel - I agree he may just be trying to relate to me. Maybe I'm just being defensive about it. Maybe it was the way he said it that made me think that and I just took it the wrong way. Very possible.

Sunrise - I know I have some problems with communication and relationships, which is one of the problems I'm not sure how to solve. I've always considered myself an extroverted introvert because it seems like I can never make up my mind. I'm not an outgoing person, so its hard sometimes to get out there and be social with people. I've never been very good at small talk or making friends. As far as the family situation, they all know I'm bothered by this and think I'm overreacting and need to lighten up. I agree with them and feel bad about it because they are family, but I don't feel like it's a situation I can fix currently. Yes, it is my parents house I live at in the summer, but my cousins and I live next door to each other and almost operate as a single household in many aspects, so I'm not sure how I can handle that situation without disrupting that.

Echoes - That's my goal in this whole process, to find a solution (I understand that parts of it will never be fixed) that can last years instead of 24 hours.

Again, thanks everyone for your advice/opinions/points of view It helps a lot seeing what other people have to say about things.
