So if I try to do things to make other people happy, and am denied the chance, it makes me a little sad. Is that normal? Why can't I stay neutral about it? I must be putting too much into it. Too much of my own state of mind into how others feel. Is that selfish? Can it be both good and bad at the same time? Good in the sense of wanting to do such things in the first place, and bad in the effect it has on me when denied the opportunity? Have to work on counteracting that. Not sure how, though.
