Overly sensetive to what strangers think about you? Should we all just learn to let things roll off of us?
Has anyone said something to you that really upset you lately?

I can say that I was once worried about others opinions. However, I do not worry anymore. I think it is part of emotional and spiritual maturity to get to that point. I still try to show others respect and present myself as a respectable person, but if they unjustly judge me or treat me bad without cause I just pray for them and then I let go and let God work in their lives. I have come to a stage in my life that I have an awareness that what others think, say and do to me or about me has nothing to do with me whether it is good or bad...it simply reflects their own soul.
For example If I met someone and said "I think that person is ugly, mean and stupid" that would not tell anyone anything about that person, whom I was speaking of...they would look at me and think or say you are really nasty to judge her or talk that way about her.
OR another example may be, "I think that man does the best he can with his life, with what he has to go through with his struggles and health and all" Still this does not tell anyone whether or not he is who I say he is or not it would simply reflect my empathetic spirit.
When people realize this...they may guard their own thoughts, words and actions because that is how we really reveal who we are like the old saying goes out of the mouth speaks the heart. So true.
God Bless and keep you. Peace to you Sister.

no I don't think I'm sensetive to what others think about me? I use to be, but I let things roll off of me, because I laugh to myself about what they are doing right now and where they will be in 20 years and were I will be. God hoping that I'm doing what I love. Yeah, someone has said something that hurt me, I was in a horriable car accident, it was life changing. But, there is this old guy whom would like to do me, but I don't do grandpa's. He told me he can't wait for the day I totally forget about my accident and quit bring it up when I talk to people. I was dumbstruck, I just looked at him, finally when I had regained my voice I was like that accident had me do a 360, totally changed my life around, it made me the great person I am today. How dare you think something like that, and I hope you get a nasty STD and when it is in full force I hope you live throguh it and die when you get cured.

Most people are overly sensitive... I used to be, but my personality has changed and I'm much better off for it. Much happier. More satisfied with myself.
I encourage everyone to consider how little those others really mean to your overall life. Harsh as it sounds, that little change in attitude will free you.

Nope, everyone has an opinion. Yes, because if you let the trolls get to you, they will keep coming back.
Well, someone I know said something about a troll getting to her and it kinda upset me because she is cool, and I hate it when the trolls go after the cool people............ ;)

judging from the number of violations I've received on this site, I'd say there were WAY too many overly sensitive crybabies out in cyberspace.

uh.. well i usually let things in one ear and out the other, but if it's repeated it really pisses me off. and about a week ago my girlfriend said that i have a problem with needing to be the center of attention, and while i wasn't too happy, i'm glad she was honest with me.

I don't let others take affect on me in that direct way and for me all that really matters is what I think of me... If I don't have me then I really don't have anything at all... I love me the exact way I am and if others don't then oh well, they don't have to live in my skin- I do :) :) :)

no, i really don't care what people who don't know me have to say about me, after all they don't know who i really am, so why should they judge me? i get upset when my parents criticize me though, i hate to be criticized & compared to other people, btu they always do it. they compare me to everyone who is "better" then me, and thats when i usually break down.
