Trying to isolate myself

I struggle to control my emotions when it's gets overwhelming and my only coping mechanism is to isolate myself and become outspoken when I am faced with criticism around me. I do listen to what people say a lot and it's affecting me, what hurts the most is that anytime I feel sensitive I tend to retreat when I see that person and they call me immature but I am just trying to set boundaries with people to hurt my feelings with their words, especially not creating that space for them. I also struggled with friends and how they drain me emotionally, most people ask me why I am too sensitive but it hurts that no one understands me, that's why I resort to isolation.

They are scary, don't they? The emotions are scary. I also try to isolate when I'm feeling bad, a lot of people do. You don't know how to control some of your feelings and reaction, but that's not bad. You are protecting you. Now, you need to face these problems, because some people are just trying to harm you, and if you continue reacting like that, you will struggle even more.

I understand you. I'm sensitive too. I have literally run of some situations. The worst part is when I get too angry and I hurt other people.

I believe in you. You will be better ❤️
