I was always very sensitive and my feelings were always getting hurt. I wondered why I was such an awful person to have others hurt me so. I walked on eggs trying not to say anything that would get me put down, again. Much later a counselor asked me why I 'thought the world revolved around me' and 'did I really think others sole purpose in life was to hurt me'. Hmmmm. Maybe the fault was with the way I was, or at least the way I 'took' things, even constructive criticism. Eventually, with the counseling, I came to realize I was going around looking for occasions to find what I took to be mean comments. The fault wasn't with what people were saying, but with the way I took it. It didn't make me a bad person, just silly. I came to realize I am OK, and actually a lot more than that. I am smart, kind, thoughtful, etc. Why don't you try making a list of your good points? Maybe you could think about others past comments ;and take them another way??? There are enough people out there trying to make themselves feel better by putting others down, don't add to it by putting yourself down - You're too smart for that! Life is for living - enjoy!

YES!...And I'm sure we're not the only ones in the world like that. As I got older I have learned, as my friend has suggested to become a logical thinker opposed to an emotional thinker...So when things occur I try to react with logic rather than my feelings..because these are two different things....You understand...I hope that helps...always remember that.

YES! Especially about men problems. I hate that I am so sensitive, I cry when I am happy, I cry when I am mad and I cry when I am frustrated and sad. It's bad because I'll be at work crying and that is a place where you can't do that.

My feeling are as hard as stone against most people. I do not take their crap and have built a defense shield against morons.
And I can dish out more insults and give bullsh*t out to the best of them.
My moto is: Don't dish it out if you can't take it. And give as good as you get.
The only people that can get to me are family and children.

I used to be the same way. now i don't give a @#$! what people think because really, most people don't know anything about you and just want to hurt you with words. don't give them the power. be strong and take care.

No I don't, not much can faze me. My feelings aren't easily hurt, and I don't take offense easily either.

Not really. I have a short temper that makes people assume I'm overly sensitive, even though I'm not.
