[QUOTE=Mr. Stranger;5761671]I think part of my issue in the social life is that I am very sensitive. I am aware of that, but my emotional reactions to situations are stronger than my ability to control them.

For example, in the last couple of days, I tried to connect with someone whom I thought of him as a friend. However, although he was active on Facebook and messenger several times since I sent him the message, he hadn't replied me. I was very frustrated and angry because he ignored me, although I sent him a very personal issue, and asked him his opinion. I ended up deleting him from my friend list, and in my way I deleted tens of "friends" whom I don't know very well, and don't interact with my posts, and have nothing to say in their own.

I thought to send him a message telling him my feeling, but I figured he wouldn't appreciate my honesty, and would instead ignore me again, and possibly laugh at me.

I have been "deleting" people from my life just like that. I get frustrated when being ignored, especially if I make the initiative to connect, but in exchange I find coldness.

I am focusing too much on what people do with me, although I know I need to focus on something else, like a personal activity. But I cannot. I read a novel these days, but I cannot open it after what happened with that person. I am in a very bad mood.

How can one not be oversensitive like that? Most people I guess would say that is silly, but for me it
