been losing it a little. this only happens to me sometimes (when i'm really stressed out and when it is really really important to me to remain functional). people say something friendly / nice / complimentary and i interpret it as an implied criticism or insult... come across as hostile / aloof / volatile...

the person seems young... female... will be weird. i'm kinda scared... but can't go on like this...
