You might want to see a counselor about your crippling interpersonal inadequacy. I think after you clear up your mental health issues you might be less insanely fixated on shoehorning meaningless occurrences into the framework of your delusions.

It's so crippling to the point that I can't stand that some stranger's thigh is touching mine at a tech event even though I shifted in my seat to avoid it the first time. And WTF, the worst part is I managed to shake hands and talk to other/new people at the same event and those assholes were so NICE!...they just didn't do the thigh touching. I really need to get over it, whatever. And WTF is up with hacking at an event, I really need to talk to people instead. Except I have one hell of an uncontrollable bronchitis+asthma cough right now so I'm trying to take it easy.

Yup.

My old therapist before I moved to SF actually thought I was kind of nuts for staying in the tech industry because I used to tell her everything because her son wanted to go into the industry too. Maybe she has a point. And my new one most definitely knows what harassment and uncomfortable situations are, she spent a while asking me questions about my fiancé to make sure I wasn't being abused at our very first session. (And no, no truly crippling problems other than not so hyperactive ADHD, so sorry.)
