I have found that I have become very overly sensitive in the past few months. It is actually getting to a point where I am really angry. For example, tonight at the pizza place, I went to pick up an order my sister called in. I told the name, paid, and so on. Then hes like see ya buddy. But I didnt see the slice of pizza, so I was just standing there. And hes liek "This is it right here" with a tiny attitude, cause the bag was in front of me the whole time. Doesn't seem like a big deal right? Well, it was enough to put me in a bad mood for most of the night. Something as little as that. When a teacher gives me the SLIGHTEST attitude, or a friend, anyone, I get very upset. I feel like a little wussy but I can't control it. I always feel like someone is angry at me. Is this related to SA or is it something else?
Yeah, I can cry over anything. For example, I'm looking for a dentist. I finally mustered up the courage to call one place, only to be told they're not accepting new patients. I hung up the phone and promptly started crying.
I used to be like that a few years ago. i'd get really upset if someone gave me attitude like teachers ect... I grew out of i guess and learned to take things less personally. Just dont take anything they say seriously and you'll do beter.
Sounds very much like SA. With all that stress built up in the body, and hypersensitivity to criticism etc., the bad moods are bound to get triggered by the slightest incident. It helps to think of other people's impatience and judgement as their own problem if you've done nothing very wrong. Just let them get on with it if they want to be pissy little so and sos. Feel sorry for them for having nothing better to do.
I'm like this too, the other day I didn't dress out for p.e. and my teacher said "so you're just gonna fail right." in a very nasty way and the entire period I felt bad because it wasn't even my fault, they had ran out of uniforms.
Yeah it's SA. I have similar things happen, like the smallest thing will put me in a bad mood. Or when a friend makes a joke about me, in the back of my head I'm trying to figure how much of it they actually meant.
I'm very sensititive too. Yesterday, I was playing video games for a little while in my dorm with a few guys, and one of them was like wow, you suck, and then he tried to help my character out by beating the guy who was after me. Even though I am pretty bad at the game, I got really angry that he'd try to help me out of pitty.
That's me too...sometimes I forget how sensitive I am, and then some puny insignificant thing will set me off and make me terrible. It really doesn't take much to make me cry.
If someone talks to me in a way that I don't like, I get the broken record effect in my head of what they said. It makes me feel terrible for about 48 hours, but after this time, it usually subsides.
In my father words " As soon as things get to complex, you cry" Just hearing the words come out of his mouth made me cry because it is true and so pethetic.
I used to be like that too. I can relate to all of the above. I'm not like this anymore luckily, though i'm still overly sensitive in certain situations...
To get over it I reframe any negative beliefs by thinking about how irrational they are. Then i think to my self who give a **** what that guy thinks. I know he doesn't reall care about me, nor do i care about what the person thinks about me. Cut off the thread in your mind and think about something else. Life isn't as hard as we think it is... we make a big deal over bullshi.
