My intolerance of people's failures comes more from a place of knowing i have severely limited inner resources and can't afford to waste my time on anyone who will not go the same distance for me as i will for them.
It may seem like over-sensitivity, but it's really just a prudent appraisal of who is worth the effort and who isn't.

You are super sweet, whatever2013! By the way, often when I'm typing away here in central Europe in my late morning, I see you responding/posting here. You must be an early bird up with the robins and other feathered friends.
You definitely do seem like a person who gives a lot and keeps on giving, when it's appreciated and reciprocated. I guess my only concern for some (not all) with a mental health disorder (or addiction) is that sometimes three and more strikes out are common. I know that it can be hard being friends or partners of a person with a mental health disorder. Very hard! And yet, so many of us that do push others away are, in their cores, caring and dedicated people.
I'm sorry that online friend stood you up, yesterday. That wasn't nice of her. She certainly needs to apologize if she wants any possible continuation of the friendship. And have a good reason.
