<human>: I'm in a LDR with a man I met who was visiting the city I live in. We hit it off and now communicate a lot online.

I suffer from depression and anxiety, and I'm also pretty good at reading others' feelings. When someone is feeling off and acting kind of distant or dismissive, it affects me a lot and really ruins my mood. Today, when I was talking to my boyfriend, he was acting a bit rude and dismissive. He apologized and said that he tends to get a bit irritable when he's hungry. Fine.

I have a huge problem with people (especially those I care about) acting rude toward me because of things that have nothing to do with me. This happened hours ago, and I am still feeling like crap about it. He's already apologized a few times, so there's not much else he can do, and I just need to wait for the feeling to pass.

However, I didn't tell him exactly how much his comments affected me because I know that my reaction was pretty out of proportion with what happened. A while after, I went to my room and cried pretty hard, all just because he made some small rude comments that he then apologized for.

I know that if I tell him how much his behaviour affected me, he will feel really badly. He's a very nice and empathetic person in general, and I don't want to make him feel really terrible about some small thing. So should I keep my reaction to myself and just try to work on myself on my own to try not to react so emotionally in the future?

I know that communication is key in a relationship, but what about when your emotional reaction makes the whole situation seem way worse than it really was?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: I can be a pretty emotional person and cry when someone is even slightly rude to me. Should I be honest about this trait of mine or should I keep it to myself to avoid making my partner feel worse than he should?
