TITLE: Me [19 M] am having problems keeping a stable emotional level around people.
POST: Hey guys,

So I am someone who's very dependent on emotion/energy to dictate how I act around people. Sometimes I can be 'in the zone' and talk to anyone, and have a great conversation. Usually, when I am like this I am very hyper and I am dictating the flow of the conversation -- I talk fast, and I am fun to be around. Other times I am quiet, soft spoken, awkward, and kind of a grouch. What can I do to stay energetic all the time? 

Sometimes, depending on what people say to me, I can get incredibly quiet when talking to people. For example, yesterday I was hanging out with three of my friends, and I was talking about buying a house. All of a sudden, my friend Jason cut me off and had a conversation with Emily. I tried to continue talking to my friend Sam, but at the end Jason said "no one was listening to you." That hurt me, and made me quiet for the rest of the time. Am I being too sensitive? What can I do to not be as sensitive?
TL;DR: 
Cannot keep a stable emotional level during discussions. Small things people say to me affect me more than they should. What can I do to combat this?
