As I get older I seem to have been noticing a pattern more and more, friends that I talk to and even my own parents have told me multiple times that I am too sensitive or too emotional. I've been called a drama queen, "emo"(when I was younger mostly), and other things of that nature. My most recent girlfriend and I have even broken up mainly because of the arguing, which was usually her telling me that I'm too sensitive and not "manly" enough for her and what not. I take a lot of insults and disrespect from people without doing much in response so people often will think I'm a push over and a "nice guy" but when I finally decide to stand up for myself, I'm told that I'm being "too sensitive" and "it's just a joke" etc. etc.

Most friends that I've had as a child/teen I don't talk to anymore now or barely at all (in my 20s now) because I've gotten fed up with the way they would treat me at times. I do suffer from social anxiety and depression and that hasn't been any help with trying to get along well with people so sometimes I really feel like I'm going about my relationships completely wrong, or maybe I'm just meeting the wrong people. Anyways I'd just like to ask, can anyone else relate to this and if you can, do you think it's wrong to cut certain people out of your life when you've had enough of their attitude, even if you were at one point good friends? Also why do you think there seems to be negative connotations attached to men who show any sort of feeling besides indifference to everything?
