idk it's so so silly but i feel like i often just take things way too personally and i get upset over things that ultimately have nothing to do with me at all.

like the most recent thing that got to me was when i was interacting with one of my professors. i really, really like her and her lectures are awesome, her energy is wonderful and she absolutely cares about what she's teaching and she makes a point to get to know her students. i had an intro class with her a few years ago and she actually recognized me which i really appreciated.

the other day she was teaching us some rudimentary things about immunology, which she's actively admitted she doesn't really know a lot about because it's not her speciality and the person who was supposed to help her with those lectures dipped out and will show up in later lectures, so she was on her own in the meantime. totally understandable. she spent many late nights to learn enough immunology material to tie it in with the main topic of our class (parasites). 

she encourages any information she can get from her students because she knows some of them will know way more than she does about immunology. so i thought i would email her with some stuff i know because i thought she would find it interesting since it also tied in with the class's topics. 

her response was very short ("thanks for the info!") and i kinda took it personally even though she's teaching a few different lectures and is overseeing undergrad and graduate research projects. she's a really busy person so i do appreciate the fact she did acknowledge the email but i still got weirdly emotional about it? and like today i was in her lecture and she likes to talk to students around the class before the lecture starts while people are pouring into the room, and i got kinda upset that she didn't come talk to me? 

like it's so so so ridiculous and i really shouldn't take it personally but i did. i almost wanted to cry during the lecture. i'm a little stressed out for midterms and the one for this class is coming up so i'm nervous about doing well because i don't want to do bad in her class since i like her. so maybe i'm just in a weird state of mind.

but like does anyone else respond like this over really insignificant things?? am i totally nuts here?
