Thanks for everyone who replied. It has made me feel better
and no it wasn't your post that made me upset. *hugs*
I know that being overly sensitive can get you no where and that you can't really expect people to go easy on you, specially when they don't know you. This is indeed the internet, this is the world. But I guess, it's also my fault for relying so much on this site. It has become my cave of some sort as I've always felt accepted and that I belong here. Lately, it's just hard to deal with it. Without it, I find myself very lonely but also I know I can't continue harboring ill feelings for something I can't help or change. I know people don't mean it, it's not their fault. Some of them, yeah, but most are also just writing what they feel in order to rant out and feel better.
I tend to idealize things which also made me idealize this site as something lonely, aloof people with social difficulties go through, and I expected people here to have a bit of sensitiveness as most have felt being left out.
I don't think it's anyone's fault rather it's a natural process of society. Our culture today (global, I meant) enables people to say freely what they want without minding about others. Which I think is silly as it is a delusional sense of freedom as you'll still be controlled by your own whims.
Anyway, I am ranting now. It's something I can't change but rather live along. It's just sad. I wonder what will be the definition of freedom in generations to come.
Also, maybe I just get affected over very little things as it's not a good moment for me. But this too shall pass.
I really appreciate your replies.

When I first read this, I thought "arhg another sensitive 1 on the internet". Then I decided to take a look @ your profile. I then realized it's not that you/anyone else may be too sensitive, but instead that I may just be too hard/cold.
So I just want to thank you for posting this. I realize it's more about COMPROMISE between the sensitive and hard personalities online. Each side must meet half-way. The sensitives have to learn that people don't always mean to say what it may sound like they're saying. And the colds have to learn that not everyone is so seasoned online to take everything they experience with a grain of salt.
Thanks too, and yes it's about compromise. If it's not really necessary, why say something that might offend others. And just as everybody expect sensitive people to understand that not everyone is like them so as everyone (ideally) must learn that whatever he/she says might affect someone, specially on this kind of site where almost everyone of us (if not all) have had bad experiences or personal problems we are going through.
I'd expect insensitive comments from people in other places, I just didn't expect it from here. Well anyway, I do understand that all of us are also trying to be the best persons we can. I guess I don't expect anything from other people, but more of myself. To learn how to toughen up.
