Over-thinking breeds sensitivity because your mind pays attention to every details. Why some might see such things as irrelevant, to you it has more meaning than they could possibly comprehend. Over-thinking is beneficial because you get to analyse situation in ways others can't. Yours is beyond just over-thinking, you care too much in the sense that, you prioritise others feelings over yours and yet they don't appreciate it, that is why it hurts. You feel like despite your sacrifices they seem incapable of reciprocating your affection or show gratitude.
I think you have found the solution that allows you to balance the scale, on one hand you still care about people's feelings, on the other hand you chose to no longer suffer in silence as a result of pain caused by people's nonchalant attitude.
