But there lies one of the issues (in my opinion; and I could be wrong)... just because we're sensitive, doesn't mean it's OK to expect others to be as sensitive as we are. It turns out, a lot of people aren't. Some people aren't/do not get as emotional, or as attached, have the same priorities, values, etc. And they aren't defective either. I do believe some people are TOO sensitive for others... it doesn't mean they're bad, but I imagine it can strain a relationship after some time.

What made you feel as if the relationships were empty and false? OK, they weren't perfect, but very few relationships are... and even then it's not forever. What needs of yours do you feel weren't being met? It's difficult for me to comment, because obviously I don't know the situation whereas you do... but was it necessary to cut them out of your life completely? And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to confuse you; I'm just trying to be balanced. I've had someone I love cut me out of their life without warning, and it's the most horrible thing ever. I'm still dealing with it, because it all doesn't make much sense to me.

But hey, if you had friends who were mean, were abusive to you, put you down, etc... then removing them from your life is absolutely justified.
