Yes...very much so.
It is difficult to catch ourselves thinking those negative thought patterns before they hit. I am trying to catch the anger patterns before they hit at work when I feel attacked for silly things, so that I do not allow myself to stew over opinions or statements that are also not worth of my worries. Similar to those you stress over at school. It is challenging but we can do it.
Don't downgrade the value of an acquaintance. They are as valuable as friends in the adult world you are growing into. Keep record of these "acquaintances" because they may be useful in other times although not right now.
