Answer 1

Sensitive people suffer the most, but they are the nicest people. Its a shame our society is set up to punish the people who need help the most, and the insensitive bullies seem to get all the friends and breaks.

Answer 2

First off, don't change who you are at all. You were blessed with a sensitive spirit, and that's a special thing nowadays.
I'm also very sensitive. I've been through a lot of tough things too, and I act tough a lot of the time, but the truth is that a lot of things some people consider every-day things, like swearing and being insulting, really affect me. Even when I'm really angry, if I start yelling at my mom or something, I always get really upset at the confrontation and can usually not keep from crying.
I think that it's good that I'm sensitive, because it's a part of me, and I think that sensitive people appreciate things more and understand other people more.
When someone hurts me, I let them know it. I tell them that I'm hurt, and if I feel the need to cry, I do. I don't go conclusion-jumping, but sometimes after a hard day, I don't say anything to the people that hurt me, and I just go home and cry it out, and have a nice conversation with God.

Answer 3

I think everyone has there flaw and I would consider myself as the type of both emotional and tough.
Depend's on the situation.
I'm the one who stick up for the weak one's and who call's the shot's..pretty bold and I don't tolerate any mistreatement from bad ppl.
I became the way I'm because I had a tough life and had to built a wall around me to protect those who harm me.
But when it comes to love..I'm very untrusting since I have been betrayed and cheated.
Everyone is different and you have to understand over time
NO one is you or can change you.Only you can change you!
Oh I really do not understand where you are coming off with this type of question for simple fact that you ask 2 and what are you?

-isa-

I hope you feel better and let those who bother you talk-since school and stuff will come and go..and few years you will be laughing about this in ur life.

Answer 4

I'm a sensitive person, simple things can hurt me. Mainly because I sometimes look into things too much and negatively evaluate things.I can't pin point exactly what made me snesitive but I know I am.
So what I try to do when someone hurts my feelings I try to deal with it myself and see if there is any truth to what they have said. I then come to a conclusion, if I feel that I am in the wrong then I try to correct myself but if I feel what they said/did was uncalled for I will tell them. I tell them exactly how it made me feel and consequently make them feel guilty. Ha Ha! I'm normally a nice person and so people are nice to me back and so when they hurt my feelings they feel extra guilty about it lol. Works everytime!

Answer 5

i dont consider my self any of that sweetie... as long as u comfortable with ur skin and ur feelings then whoever else says whatever shouldnt really matter baby girl.... u have to learn how to deal and be aware of your feelings and be comfortable with them...and once u do that, u will be a very strong person..... and u will understand that being sensitive and thick skinned doesnt really exist...

and if u have a certain feeling about something or whatever, speak your mind in a very calm and respectful way.. tell them what u feel and why u feel that way...the more u speak ur mind.. the more people understand u....

Answer 6

Wow. I've been pretty sensitive my whole life, and I think it's because my mom is too. It's good to be balanced - you don't want to be too cynical or too sensitive.

I'm getting better about the sensitive thing. Basically, you just have to let things slide off your back. If you cry when someone insults you, it means you believe them and you're taking it to heart. No one knows you better than you. You have to build confidence, and when someone calls you a name or spreads a rumor about you, you just know in your heart it's not true so it doesn't bother you. And believe me, people watch how you react more than they listen to the rumor. If you don't believe it, they won't either. And if they do, who cares? There are thousands of people to know in your general vicinity. If a few choose to believe something bad without getting to know you, you're better off without their dumb @sses!

Here's an example from my own life. I used to be friends with this girl. One day she just stopped talking to me. I still don't know why, and I don't really care - that's her choice and I know I haven't done anything wrong, so I can't control her. So I started dating this guy who happened to be friends with her. She told him that I'm a huge slut and get passed around from guy to guy! At first I was shocked, because nothing could be further from the truth! But then I just laughed at it. I didn't let it bother me, and I didn't go around confronting her or making sure that no one really thought that of me. Everyone who knows me knows that's absurd. Everyone who doesn't know me can suck an egg. Get it?

Answer 7

If you're sensitive, your feelings may get hurt more than others. If you're thick-skinned, you take insults very well and don't let them bother you. I'm sensitive. I try to be more thick-skinned, but I'm still sensitive. :)

Answer 8
