I expect an answer right away. I check my email or my phone or the post constantly awaiting a reply. I obsess obsess obsess.

If I don't get a reply within five minutes I start to get angry. Angry, disappointed. I start thinking that they hate me. They're awful I'm awful they hate me I hate them.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

Now just wait as I refresh this twenty times a minute waiting for a reply.
Oh, I can definitely relate to this! Pretty much happens every day.

Story of my life. Do you keep rereading and rewriting/editing things you've written as well (I know I'll reread this post over and over and over again)? Emails, posts on forums like this one etc.
Thanks for this!
