Hello everyone. I'm a bit of a lurker but I finally mustered up the courage to post and ask for help. 

How do you deal with being sensitive and taking things personally? My friend and I have been getting into fights over my issues. We just got into a fight about something stupid because he said a general statement that I took to be about me. And last night we got into a fight because I feel like he took to talking to someone else over me and I felt rejected. 

My friend lives with me and tries to point out when I'm being sensitive so I can correct it but this time it blew up and I freaked out. I feel like a terrible person because I keep taking things the wrong way. I keep pushing people away and making them justify how they feel or what they do because I keep being insecure and sensitive. 

Can anyone relate? Can anyone help?
