I don't know who told you that. That's very bad quality information / the wrong rule though. Refer to what I said about doing your homework. That would include you reading up on this topic too a lot more, about social skills, emotions, emotions of your own, emotions of people, everything, plus of course working with at least one professional or a team of them, preferably, and it would be even better if you found some place where you can recover, a support group with people in similar situations and issues, or an inpatient facility or whatever else is available in the US that would work best for you. I wish you luck with finding the right resources for your problems. You also need to trust yourself more, take ownership of your own life and not refer to others hoping for magical advice from them. Sometimes you can pick up on advice, sometimes not, and then sometimes the advice given is completely wrong and off, and so on. There is no magic to any of it. Going on in this thread will just lead to more frustration both for you and for others, at best, and probably more confusion for you, and other negative emotional effects.

So, I really have nothing else to say. Good luck once more!!
