I deal with the same thing and I get hurt very easily and take things the wrong way. Then I read into something someone says or emails and I dwell on it for hours or days. Stew in anger, etc.
Friday morning a coworker sent an email and I probably took it the wrong way. By the time my anxiety kicked in and I was a basket case. I was convinced nonE of my coworkers liked me and that they are all talking behind my back. I could not sleep a wink Friday night.
Finally after very little sleep I took a shower and had a good cry. Then I told myself...who cares if they don't like you! They were not up all night thinking about me and they are busy with their own lives. I give people way too much control over my emotions and my life.
I have decided to look for employment elsewhere because of other issues. I'm fed up with their stupid games.
