How to become less sensitive????

Answer 1

I guess that being sensitive has its good and bad points. Being sensitive in a caring way is good -better then a cold heart. Being overly sensitive can cause you heartache. Just realize that when someone is rude to you that it is not your fault that they lack the ability to be polite and have the need to put you down. These people have nothing better to do-maybe they are having a bad day- they try to hurt someone in order to make themselves feel good. They show that they think little of themselves as well as others. We are all individuals-no one the same. After you have been hurt enough in life then you say to yourself-oh well just one more time. Keep some of your sensitivity since that is what makes us human.

Answer 2

If you are talking about sensitivity to comments or if you become defensive easily remember to always take some time before you allow yourself to react. This will help you to evaluate if you are being over sensitive or if you genuinely do have an issue with what's being said or done. If you mean being hurt easily, it's going to take time to desensitize yourself. Every time you get hurt, remind yourself that what you yourself thinks is the most important and if you are okay with yourself, than who cares what anyone else thinks. Over a course of years, and it will take years, you will find you are less effected by what other people do and think to and about you. I hope this helps in someway.

Answer 3

Stop taking everything as a personal assault. Know that in life, things happen and will happen whether or not you are in control. Also, the more of a thinker you become, the less sensitive you will be. Instead of focusing on your feelings, start to think more rationally about the situation that has you made you loose your senses.

Answer 4

If you are sensitive then that means that you are believing or buying into the negative things that you and others say about you.

Therefore you have low self-esteem. You doubt yourself and you bring negative energy into your being. Other people, who are naturally drawn to negative energy, come into your space and feed off your negativity and give it back to you in spades.

This creates a viscious cycle of negativity. One that YOU will have to CONSCIOUSLY break out of.

Sensitivity is low self esteem. The first thing you need to do is boost your self-esteem.

I know this isn't easy. I don't want to sound like I'm telling you it is. But you can do it if you are patient and loving towards yourself.

Start small. Acknowledge that you don't feel good about yourself and then start talking about what is good about you. Keep doing this every day and hopefully you'll find more and more things that you like about yourself. This will boost your self image.

If you are strong and confident and you don't have doubts about yourself then you won't be nearly as sensitive, because you aren't having negative reactions about what you and others are saying about you.

good question. i've always been a very sensitive person. i get hurt way too easy. or maybe there are just too many rude, selfish people out there who aren't sensitive enough. do unto others as you would have others do unto you doesn't seem to be a very big goal for most people now days. unless all those jerks out there want to be treated poorly. still trying to be less sensitive myself. good luck to you on this.

Answer 6

well that takes experience and disappointment in life from people and expectations. But ya know what its actually a good thing if you can become wise to lifes evils and still be kind is a beautiful thing, and rare. Dont rush it the only thing right now that you can do it stay away from people who pray on that part about you and cause you to be hurt they dont care and if they did you wouldnt even be asking that, stand up for yourself, and expect to be treated how you treat others, ok good luck Kim

Answer 7

That is just something you learn to control over time. We choose how to react to things that occur to us and around us. You need to start choosing not to allow things to upset you. It's not easy at first, especially if you've always been a very sensitive person...but it can be done. Good luck!

Answer 10

I started by a simple method. I took a bunch of those famine in Africa commercials, added a laugh track to them, and watched them repeatedly.

I am now unmoved by any plight.
