I have a pretty good ability to judge when a situation is wrong; when somebody is mad or when something is upsetting them. At the same time, as a child I always found it difficult to make friends, I would rather spend time with adults than with children my own age. However, now that I am an adult, there is something that really bothers me and has controlled my emotions for a long time. I am a male and I don't want to feel like this because I feel like it detracts from my masculinity. But, I constantly have hurt feelings when people don't invite me out to places or when they don't spend time with me. I feel like this is something a woman should feel and that's why it has always bothered me. An example of a situation that would make me feel this way is when my friends will go out and don't invite me for whatever reason. I automatically begin thinking about the worst - why haven't they invited me, maybe they're avoiding me, maybe they don't like me etc. Why do I feel like this and how can I make it go away?
