I think I'm neurotic or something. I take everything to heart. The slightest worry can make me a nervous wreck or make me cry. It doesn't help that once I get preoccupied by something, I can't seem to get my mind off it. Case in point: this winter I was rejected by a girl. A normal thing, right? But I couldn't think about anything else other than that situation, and almost didn't meet some deadlines. Thankfully I'm over it now and feel content with myself. But how do I deal with the negative things in life better? Right now I feel that I'm totally not ready for the real world, despite being a functioning adult. Like I'm somehow not equipped with healthy coping mechanisms. Which kinda makes me avoid many social things lately (after trying really hard for half a year to 'put myself out there', and being disappointed). Any advice?
