I keep being in low moods when I want to be more happy

Sorry to hear that your dad shouted for not asking questions. It is good to prepare questions in advance but if you haven't spoken to an advisor before then it's difficult to know how the conversation might go and what kind of questions to ask, so it's not necessarily your fault as you didn't know beforehand. The good thing is, at least now you know what to expect and can follow up with any questions you might have.
As for your sensitivity, there really is nothing wrong with 'being sensitive'. I think some neurodivergent people may be more likely to have strong emotions or feel emotions more easily. It doesn't mean that it's wrong though. Even though some of your family members don't understand this about you, there will be others out there who will understand you.
University staff often have great knowledge on their subjects (if we are talking about lecturers) but they might not have such great knowledge on accommodating students needs e.g. autism. This will then come across as they expect too much from you without taking into consideration that you learn and do things differently. I can't remember if I have asked, but does your university have student support? You might be able to get accommodations through them or talk to your lecturers with the support of student services to get your lecturers to understand why you might learn and do things differently.
