I think mostly it's because I truly want to get along with people, and yet some of those people don't appear to be rational. They would rather yell and cause problems. And if you try to disentangle yourself, they will retaliate and do everything they can to continue the relationship, but on their terms.

Sorry to hear that! I've been in your shoes before, but aside from my dad, no one has really yelled at me. I'd get treated in a passive aggressive way often though! They're toxic and you should get rid of those people if they refuse to change, or they can't!
Have you talked to these people about how their behaviour is out of line? If not, then you should unless you are afraid that they will try to get back at you in some way. If that is the case, then don't respond to them at all. Don't respond to emails, calls, or texts.
You can BLOCK their email and their numbers too. It's super easy to do on most phones. If you don't have an automatic block feature on your phone, then no problem. Just download a free anti virus app from AVG on google play and there is a block feature on that app to block calls and texts. Change your number and email if you have to.
And then don't give it out to anyone who'll pass that info around. Make new friends. It's better to be alone than to surround yourself with all that negativity and drama. Not to mention that it's not good for your sanity and your personal safety!
Anyways, these people might be narcissists. My dad in one for sure. Here is a really insightful and cool lady who does a great job explaining what to look out for. I like her name too, the Illusion Dispeller.
