It is very likely that many people don't think you are blowing things out of proportion. Perhaps you are surrounded by a few unsympathetic people? Is there someone out there who would listen to you and validate how you feel, what do you think? If you have strong feelings, you have them for a reason and that reason deserves care and attention.

People would never even like you if they knew what was inside? How about giving them the benefit of the doubt and testing this assumption.

Gefling, you are worthy of people's care and attention. What you went through is difficult and takes time to recover from. Acknowledge that and be kind to yourself. You'd have to tell those people who are impatient with you to respect your own pace of healing.

Thanks for this!
