Sensitive?

Was wondering if anyone else was really sensitive in interpersonal relationships. I feel so in tune to reading between the lines and reading body language that I feel like I pick up on things someone might not necessarily be verbalizing. And the words/texts come into play as well. Then, over analysis takes place and I feel slighted. Just the least little bit of rejection (from whomever, not necessarily romantically) causes me to withdraw.

Do any of you feel or react this way?

My scorp rising probably doesn't help either reading all this unspoken language. Well, I've let it hurt me and pretending it hasn't. So I withdraw instead of rocking the boat. I know better. I'm usually pretty direct. Guess I'll lick my wounds and analyze it for a bit. Figure out: 1)was it my fault; 2)their fault; 3)how to fix it; 4)do I want to fix it.

Three shields came down with this person, now four are going back up.

I used to when I was younger. Now, I just assume everyone has issues and if you have beef with me you'll be man/woman/grown enough to say it plain. So unless you say, "Hey, you did ....." I just go on about my happy business. Yup, I've been accused of being oblivious to what others are feeling. My response, "I'm a psychologist, not a gypsie mind reader at a carnival."

As far as being slighted, I usually squint at folks or say something like, "Come again?" and if they repeat it, I'm usually wrong about the interpretation. If they don't I'm right to not trust their ass!
