Are any of you guys super sensitive to what people say during your anxiety/depression? I have found myself to take the words from people and twist them into a negative spin even if the people who said it meant it as a positive thing.

I do the same thing. I listen to what people say and then I go over it in my mind over and over again. It always comes out to be negative. You are not alone.

I have always done this! After I get myself all worked up, I can usually see the way they really meant it...but only after driving myself crazy first.

I am the worst when people don't say anything at all though! I interpret that silence as contempt. I know, some times people just don't have anything to say, yet I always think they're mad at me...

You're definately not alone!

I always do this. I have been accused of taking people's words and twisting them to make it seem as though they intended to do me harm. I've also been accused of being hypersensitive and defensive.

yes to all, super sensitive, cry easily and can't let go of in my head. so i end up avoiding people, which isn't healthy, but it's what i need to survive.. i have a rule i try to follow, not to react until 24 hrs have passed, often i'll see things differently given some time.

I have always been really sensitive to those that talk about anxiety as if you can switch it off if you wanted it to. People who have never experienced it will never really understand.

OMG, Delusiondreamer...I do the very same thing! My boyfriend (well, ex-boyfriend now) says that I read WAY too much into things people say. I'm always afraid people are mad at me, too.

yes i do, i tend to have people look at me through my own eyes instead of being confident about comments, i worry for days over this.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
