It is sad to be so dependent upon others yet so aggressive and moody as to alienate most people upon whom you might depend. Resentment, futile worrying, dwelling upon grievances and in need of constant external stimulus, your very need makes you a victim, and so the cycle goes on. Only you can break it. Your temperament, of course, is in part innate, but the emotionally intelligent "born worrier" starts by recognizing that, while worrying has a purpose, it has its place; that love is wonderful, but that, when it is not around, there is more to life; and that stubbornness, though splendid when applied to arduous tasks, has no merit whatsoever when applied to ordinary social interaction. Compartmentalize. Devote set times to resolving the causes of worry, other times to reading and thus becoming other people... Above all, devote time to silence, to walking or meditating. Make a life for yourself, and so recognize that others have their own lives, and cannot devote them to you.
Perfect amount of independence!

Communicative, gregarious when necessary, yet unafraid of silence and solitude, you would seem to be sufficiently confident at once to assert yourself without insecure aggression where suitable and to be "happy in your own skin" even when alone.

Oh, you seem fiercely independent, assertive and constantly busy, but it would seem that, in your own way, you are as tied up in yourself- and dependent upon others' responses to you as favorable or unfavorable- as the eternal victim. It is time to take a holiday from the non-stop assertion of self. After all, if you are content with your self, why does it need asserting? Independence, true independence, may be concerned with others' welfare, but not with others' opinions.
