Troubled Dragon (updated)

General
These past two weeks I have been incredibly troubled regardless of what has been happening around me. I have had a wonderful weekend with my boyfriend where we went to Kelvedon Hatch nuclear bunker and then there was the wonderful commission piece Macroceli made for me and today I won a digital radio on a radio show. Last month finally have found work and have an income to support myself on.
I still feel troubled despite all these recent events mostly regarding to those I speak on-line to. I have been feeling very insecure about how I am to those I chat to as I feel like I am either annoying and/or upsetting them. I especially get this feeling when people do not reply to me and I admit I get a little paranoid and when that happens I tend to push harder which I worry is driving away those who I regard as good people.
Update
As I have predicted I immediately come to regret with what I have posted as I came to realisation that a lot of these issues are more my ignorance than anything. I have regarded instant messaging to be just that 'instant' just like a face to face conversation but what I really should be thinking them more like is texting. There are many things that chat doesn't have such as tone of voice and body language just like LordrinWildhad said. I want to say thank you for everyone who commented and my apologies to having made anyone become concerned.

You seem kind of nice and friendly.
Usually, you're wrong :P, if in doubt, ask though ^^
I doubt its a problem on your behalf to be perfectly honest since many people think its so when its not.
Then again, I don't really know you so I'm kinda talking out of my ass. >..<;; But its usually the most common issue.
Having not spoken to you though I can’t really say if you are the type or not to be upsetting and/or annoying :p
I'm sure they are not annoyed or anything like that. Folks these days are busy or rather getting busier due to the economic weather or because of it. Yeah, it's a bit of a long shot to say that but it's something that is happening to everyone. One can only hope for the reason is understandable. If they're good people as you say, then I would have no doubt that they have simply been a bit occupied with the events going on.
One thing I realized with friends is that one often needs to feel reassured that the bond of friendship is still there. I think a lot of people often over look this aspect or they're caught up in their own lives to express this.
Well, it also sounds like there are a lot of events going on with your life as well. It can simply be all the stress adding up and taking a toll on your mind. I'd suggest taking a break, let your mind process all these things going on.
Anyhow, not sure what else to add to this. I do hope that this helps you out in some way or another.
Like people above said, it's also true that instand messaging is relativelly impersonal as your text dosen't transfer emotions very well. Unless you structure it really well and use stuff like smilies and the like. I ofthen just type away, and only later begin wondering how that text might have been interpreted by the persone on the other end of the line. But the rush to just get your idea out there will make one want to just type it faast without actually taking the time to formulate it properly.
Anyways, I know I asked before, but if you ever want to chat, let me know. I'd really lvoe to give it a try.
Take care.
