I always take things personal. How can I learn to relax, and just not care about what other people say about me?

I too am very sensitive. I have gotten better though. It is very hard to get rid of this character. Just learn to accept this is how you are, and be aware that you are being sensitive and might appear that way to others. Some of it gets better with time.

Try listening to good quality TV shows with people interacting. If you are home during the day, or can tape shows such as As the World Turns, The Young and the Restless, where you get to know the people, it can teach you how to handle yourself, show you good manners. Look for how good people treat each other. As you relate to the people on the show, you will desensitize yourself. Talk Radio is also another way. Dr. Laura shows can teach you also. Be a listener, don't try to be one of the personalities, listen for how good, stable people think and behave. Eventually you will toughen up so things don't bother you. Living life will also teach you that others are more self centered than you, and seldom think about the other person. Keep your own values.
If you want, there are anti anxiety medications available from a doctor.

You should realize that you are a very special person. If anyone talks about you or makes crude comments just think they are wrong and do not really know you. If you think about them like they were naked and in the middle of the street you won't take them so seriously now will you? Lighten up.

Either you can try CBT or start taking a drug from the Class SSRI.
Meds are the most cost effective.

Start by coming out to your family and friends then the worry of everyone finding out your secret will be over and you won't have to think about it anymore.
