How do I stop reacting/thinking like a 6 year old and more like an adult?

What exactly would make you feel suicidal? Suppose you asked someone for directions, they stopped, gave you directions, didn't seem annoyed (which is usually the case), what about it scares you? What possible scenario in your head makes you afraid or nervous, depressed or suicidal?

 

And what if someone didn't stop and just told you on the fly "Sorry, I'm in a hurry"? How would that make you feel? I agree with Teknoe that we can rule out introversion since you denied the main traits of introverts. Feeling suicidal because of asking someone for directions when you're lost does sound a bit extreme. Is it possible that you might have some kind of psychosis/neurosis? I am not an expert at all, but if you're seeing a psychologist, I think it may be time to start seeing a psychiatrist.

 

Nooooo, it's not asking someone for directions that makes me feels suicidal. I was thinking about other situations which didn't have anything to do with asking for directions, like the stop/go sign guy, and the kids who threw a jawbreaker really hard at my window as I drove past them, for example.

 

I honestly don't know what makes me feel so nervous about asking someone for directions. If someone said 'sorry, I'm in a hurry' though, it wouldn't bother me at all.

I think he should travel to Tibet and study with monks out there. Western medicine hasn't done him any good he's been seeing doctors all his life. I doubt he would actually feel like comitting suicide if some one was rude to him. People have been more then rude to him on here and he has an above the top reaction of anger for that person not for himself.

 

I understand being afraid of what people might think. Often though when faced with a rude person you forget to be embaressed and just get angry at that person.

 

Yeah when someone is rude to me, it does really affect me, not so much online, at least most of the time when it happens online it doesn't affect me that much anyway, but it's when it happens offline which usually really affects me.
