I was and am very sensitive. I must have been told by my mother 10 billion times before I was 16, "you are too sensitive".
I wasn't, humans are supposed to have feelings. What I was doing was expecting the rest of the world to be as considerate of others as I was. That will never happen. Once I realized that and the fact that those people who are not nice and kind don't give a hoot how they made me or any one feel and never will. I also recognized that their actions have no real bearing on my life.
I am now a 37 yr old married mother of 2 and in my home we don't allow insults, rude or inconsiderate behavior. I and my husband teach them to be considerate of others and as long as they go to bed at night knowing that they did the right thing they will be OK, just like you.

Suck it up, life's a bitty! You can do all sorts of things to man you up:
Join the military, get fired from a long time job, get dumped and used often, start a fight club, learn poker or fishing (in the heat or freezing cold), listen to Danzig, Crossfade, Metallica, drive around in a fit of road rage, hit your thumb a lot with a hammer, etc...
Just some thoughts! Good luck and don't go cryin; and ignoring me now...LOL!

I used to be this way and sometimes still am. When someone gives you a compliment, say thank you and nothing more. When someone hurts your feelings just say Im sorry you feel that way and try not to take it personally. maybe they are just having a bad day and take it out on you. Maybe they are just grumpy and should be avoided altogether.

Sounds to me that you are a little self-conscious. I would embrace your habits and learn to use it in a positive manner.
When someone praises you, just say "thank you", that's all you need to do.

I'm kinda like that too
I always kinda figure take one step toward people and civilization. If you get rejected or it seems bad, takes two steps back then.

i think its great that you are sensative. you dont find many guys like that these days. You are sensative and you should be proud of it. There really isnt anything to be ashamed of.
