I seem to take everything personally,I mean I get my feelings hurt easily. I have always been careful with other peoples feelings so I wont hurt them. How does one let things roll of there back?

by not having an ego to defend.
if you don't look for happiness from within..youre at the mercy of outsiders determining your level of happiness, and every slight will be felt as a loss of self esteem. if your happiness is looked for within.. then you are invulnerable to others words or actions and you never have to waste energy defending your ego.

If someone teases you playfully, don't let it hurt you. Make a joke about it. Laughing at yourself is the answer to just about everything.
However, if it is obvious that people are being genuinely mean, don't be afraid to be offended. Tell that person exactly what you think and ask them to lay off. If they persist with mean spirits, tell somebody: your parents, a teacher, or if you're too old for that--say, in college or working--just try not to talk to them or show any reaction. They will eventually find someone else to pick on.

This happens Because you misunderstand who you are.
Your worth was determined by God who has known everything about you for eternity.
God makes no mistakes. You were created absolutely perfect just the way that you are.
If God was satisfied with you why are you putting so much stock in the comments of confused people who can't even take the time to be loving and respectful.
They are the ones with the problems, not you.

Well some things ARE personal... Stick to the way you are... That's a built in warning device you have to protect you and your feelings... just concentrate more on your own needs and happiness, then you'll accept things better without having them roll off your back...

There's no simple solution. Some people are just more thick skinned than others. You just have to adopt the attitude that it doesn't matter what they think or say.

just don't pay attention to it, the people that are offending you, just ignore them, and don't talk to them...
