I'm a very senstive person. Some would say I'm hyper senstiive. When someone hurts my feelings or if I get dumped by a guy I usually cry about it. It takes me a long time to forget about something if someone hurts my feelings. I bottle up my emotions frequently. How do I learn to become more stronger emtionally and less hyper sensitive?

First of all, you have to redefine what is considered hyper sensitive. Do you have the following traits: People who are hypersensitive are easily and deeply sadden or upset by any unkind remarks or negative events. They can't shake it off easily and avoid confrontations. They are more prone to depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders. Highly sensitive persons respond strongly to external stimuli. They are keenly aware of other people's feelings. On a brighter note, sensitive individuals are passionate and appreciate the beauty of art, music, and nature. Hyper sensitive people may be born this way. Hypersensitivity usually begins in childhood. Highly sensitive persons often try to hide themselves.
Highly sensitive persons tendency towards withdrawal presents unique difficulties in relationships. Highly sensitive persons turn inwards for protection against what they are experiencing. Relationships of mutual respect provide a safe, consistent haven of acceptance. Highly sensitive persons must be wary of being people-pleasers. A lack of self-esteem can turn into a habit of satisfying the needs of the other person. They can end up feeling overwhelmed and alone in a relationship they cannot let go of.
The answer you are looking for may not be as easily remedied. It seems the experts are just now considering this a personality type. I would suggest counseling to help alleviate some of your emotions like anxiety. For more insights in this matter, please visit the link I have provided.

Beeing emotional is two-sided blade.It helps you in ways you do not realise consciousley,but on the other side you feel how it hurts you to the point where you are looking for a change I think you should study yourself better, change whatever you can change in your life style that could possibly be the reason of over-reacting sometimes. Try reading more books that involve economy,try communicating with people who are not that emotional.Seek for new companion,if you are in companion of people who are not emotional as you are for a while,theres no doubt u would change urself

First of all you need to quit bottling things up inside. I myself am hyper sensitive, but I finally realized that most of what I was sensitive about had nothing to do with me at all. Try affirmations, or visualization. Affirmation like: "I, name, am a worthy person", "I, name, am no longer as sensitive as I used to be." It will take some time, but realize, the world doesn't revolve around you. Let go of the past, because you cannot change it. Live, love, and be. Or, dream, believe, achieve. Good luck!!

Take it from someone who is the opposite, embrace it. Enjoy it. revel in it. Don't start blocking things out. It isn't any easier to deal with negative emotions when you block them out. When you cry or have an out brake of sadness, you deal with it, and yes it hurts for a while. Sometimes even a very long while. What people like me do, is we bottle it up, and it comes out and slaps us in the face every now and then, until we do deal with it. Your way is much healthier. Don't change a thing.

don't bottle up your emotions! Your feelings are genuine, you don't pretend being calm, without reaction. You are alive and caring person, sometime people use you that is true. When somebody hurt you do not let that person know that you are hurt. It would change nothing but you would feel even worse knowing that that person does not care about your emotional feelings.

I used to think I was too sensitive until a wise woman told me that sensitivity is a blessing. She was right. My sensitivity is one reason I am so compassionate toward others. I bet you are too. This is a GOOD thing.

That means you're resentful? ...........Let out your emotions instead of bottling them up so much. It's ok to be sensitive though, sometimes. Think about it, isn't it better than being emotionless? That's scary.

A few things: take your time in relationships, don't expect anything of the guys you like that they haven't shown you, you'll probably be disappointed. Know that if someone trys to offend you, it hurts your health to carry that around and dwell on it. Love them and know that they don't know better. I don't know if you believe in God but God doesn't want you to carry hurt around with you. Those people will have to answer to God. Free yourself.

do you really want to be come something that you are not? dont keep negative feelings inside to long, just like a kettle if the pressure is not releashed, BOOM!!! find a more positive release of all that powerful energy. ex; write, sing , dance, read to the sickly, comfort others,study, etc... control, but dont supress, you might need that part of your psyche gift one day.
