I have always been the sensitive person. I don't know how to deal with small things like someone calling me a whore. I know it's not a big deal because girls get called that all the time but it offends me. How can I be stronger and not get all upset over these things?

Honey, you ARE strong, it's never okay to call a woman a whore or a b*tch or anything else that's offensive. If this is being called sensitive, something is truly WRONG with the world. If you don't stand up for yourself, no one else will. You can't let people walk all over your you or stab you in the back. When you don't speak up for yourself, people will take that and use it to their advantage. Stay STRONG, Stay YOU, and never lose sight of what I just said!

It is OK to be offended when someone calls you a whore because it IS a big deal. A lot of girls and women think that this is some type of flattery or compliment, but in reality, it is not. It is derogatory and hurtful and should NOT be tolerated. People should respect you for who you are and not judge you in any way. There are some jerks out there that do, though, and there's only one way to deal: ignore them. Oh, and for the inspirational quote, here's one :
"That which does not kill you only makes you stronger." -Unknown Author

I think most people would get upset if they are called a whore. It's verbally abuse and mean. I think being sensitive is a good think. Sometimes it can go too far though (and I'm not convinced you are in this category). But a great book to help learn about negative self-talk (which is often at the root of being overly-sensitive) is called: Feeling Good by Burns. It's designed to talk about depression and shifting your behaviour to improve your mood, but i think it's applicable for a much wider audience. Good luck, but really, getting hurt over such comments is normal.

One of the first lessons that I teach my models (I'm a model agent) is in order to take insults and let downs and sometimes put downs, is to develop a thicker skin. Realize that you are the only true person that knows you. Don't care what others say. Especially if it is nonconstructive criticisms. Just keep in mind that you are awesome! When you realize this, the 'awesomeness' (lol I know that's not a word but I'm known for doing that sometimes) will radiate. Enjoy yourself! Life is too short to be worried about itty bitty issues.

It all depends on the context of the so-called insult. Just conduct this self-analysis in your mind every time you're about to freak out like a little girl:
-Does the person have cruel intentions?

i had the same problem! as i got older its been getting better. i just have to remember that i dont like everyone else, so i cant expect everyone to like me. but a lot of people who insult you have no idea what theyre talking about. and why would you want to be friends with them anyway? theyre ignorant and careless
