I can't help it. I'm human, but I want to improve and not go down to a level of a 13 year old (or a teenager of any age)! Please?! only serious answers thanks.

I think it's admirable that you are trying to be more mature, less judgmental and less sensitive. You should pat yourself on the back just for wanting to be that way.

I personally think the best way for you to accomplish this goal is to work on your own self-esteem. The most mature people I've ever met were those people who are secure in themselves. They know who they are, and accept themselves that way..
They tend to not take negative comments personally, accept others for who they are, and are generally happier all around.
This passage by Marianne Williamson has helped me, and perhaps it will help you also:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child
of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

Many blessings to you on your walk through life :)

Wait, are you saying that you think you are TOO sensitive? Do you mean as if you feel that things that shouldn't bother you do? When something happens that bothers you, no matter what, the first feeling you will get is a negative one: loneliness or annoyance. The feeling's intensity will vary depending on the degree of "badness" of the event.
This is a trait that we as humans will all experience throughout our lives. Don't try to overcome it, you will only be consumed by it. You must understand the origin of your feelings and only then can you control them as you wish. Understand who you really are and then you will see how/why things effect you the way they do.

If all that fails then you could just take some hard drugs and it will more then likely change your outlook on things. And in hard drugs I'm not just speaking of street drugs; prescriptions. This is what most people do. Most people are too weak to change themselves, they are told they can't so they believe it and give up before they have even tried.

May the spirits smile upon you.

I think you mean you want to be more sensitive right?

A couple of things I know will help:

1) putting yourself in other people's shoes
2) when something happens that you don't like, it's usually because of the meaning you attach to it; so you could ask yourself, "what else could this mean?"
3) meditate or find some spiritual practice
4) be grateful everyday for the things you have (including all the things you probably take for granted, like clean drinking water); when we are busy being grateful and looking at the good things, then it's hard to be judgemental

Good luck.
