if you're a super sensitive person - what do you do when someone takes it out on you. i'm talking about the exact time when this is happening & the emotions you're experiencing. what do you say to yourself
(and the situation is not such that you could escape from it)
thanks

I was that way for years. It made my life miserable. Now I know that the person taking it out on me feel inadequate. I just think how pitiful they are if they have to do this to me to make themselves feel better.

Recognize that sensitivity is not a weakness, but a very powerful tool. You are more a kin to recognize where the other person is coming from and why they are really dumping on you. 9 times out of 10 it has absolutely nothing to do with you, but instead is stresses and difficulties that the other person is experiencing misdirected towards you. Like any tool, the more practice you have with it, the better you will become at dealing with situations like this. I am not referring to becoming less sensitive. Quite the opposite, the more sensitive you are the easier it is to recognize that you decided what does and does not affect you and that it is your choice which words or actions you allow to bring you down. Eventually, when someone does start taking it out on you, you will be able to let it pass right through you.
Don’t let the small stuff (or the small people) bring you down.

As hard as this might sound...try to let what the person is saying go in one ear and out the other. Try to tell yourself that the person is not mad at you but on the contrary feels close enough to you to vent all of his or her frustrations. I am a very sensitive person and I realize that this is a difficult thing to do but if you have a mantra going through your head of "it's not me that this person is mad at" it might help.
Good luck=)

it's hard i know what you're saying. and you're probly not the type of person to even stand up for yourself because you're scared of getting even more hurt right? well you cant just change everything just once. i think it'll take awhile cuz you need to build up the courage and guts to say something back to the person.

Tell yourself that you have value and the words that others speak have no bearing on who you really are.
