Are You Too Sensitive For Your Own Good?

yes i am actually... but i also had found that being over sensitive is not good for me... sometimes i missed out a lot in life because of my over sensitivity and also make my own life more miserable... so over time i had tried to get rid of my over sensitivity little by little... and guess what??? i become a better and happier person after i done that... and other people can accept me better as well... take care and have a nice day...

Peoples around me told me that i am sensitive. Some time little words hurt me so much and i feel good to be sad and hurt.

Hehe, You have just described me. I am that person 100 procent. And guess what kind of profession I have...lol exactly I work as a assistance nurse for elderly care. The most part I can take critisism but as you say it depend on how it is said and if it is constructive, then I have no problem with it. I care more for others then my self and that is the answere to your subject Yes I am to sensitive for my own good. lol

Yes, I think I am quite a sensitive person. I listen to the feelings of others, even animals. I know too much of this quality is not good, but the lack of it or simple callousness is the last thing we need in this world. We need more sensitive people to populate our world.

hello jujunme! i used to be a very sensitive person. Sensitive in a way that i can easily discern just through action or facial expression when somebody is criticizing or maligning me. This is the part of my sensitive that i dislike and which i had changed over the years. I am still sensitive to the needs of other people, and often goes out my way just to help them. I emphatize and sympathize with people, however when i realize that i cannot do anything about the situation i don't give it much thought anymore so as not to burden me with such negative feelings. Nowadays, although i listen to criticisms directed my way, i filtered it and just let those things which are not really worth pondering about. i don't take offense easily anymore since i realized that people could get so vindictive and jealous sometimes that they would do and say anything just to see you suffer and get angry.

Life has allowed me to develop a bit of thick skin. Yes I can hurt by someone being way over criticizing but have learned that not everyone will agree and or disagree identically to me. So I have learned that we must remember that there is two people the same in life and that we have to feel good about ourselves and that is really what matters. I may dwell internally for a bit about a harsh situation but then I let it roll remembering my own worth.

my daughter is like that. she wants to be a vet but i think she would find it too hard to put animals to sleep.

hi jujnme I am sensitive to a large extent and if somoeone whom I respect does criticize me its done in a positive not mean way so I do not mind that as it is meant to be helpful like my adult son. but others who d o not know me or maybe do not even like me pile on some nasty criticism of my religious views and things like'that yes I am sensitive and I am damned angry too. My views belong to me and are not to be made fun of or criticized at all.I often cry at sad movies and while reading a sad book too. I am helpful always to others and often feel others pain. I worked for years as a nurse's aide and loved it.

I can be sensitive yes, probably too sensitive for my own good sometimes. I do find that I can toughen up and put my guard on when it comes to certain situations and certain people.

iam exactly like you. i cant stand to see those commercials even that show the animals thats been abused. or kids starving,etc, i know its their way of trying to get help for them but i cant help and want to so badly. then i have a bad habit of taking everything to seriously when talking with people.

Im very sensitive when it comes to me and my heart. When someone makes the heart rate going up by doing something rude to me then i go in the room and start crying and i hate it but my heart cant take a lot so i get upset over it. When thinkin gabout abused animals or children of course its sad and it hurts inside but then again there isnt much i can do to help them as i am hurting myself with money but if i had money i would be donating it to a good cause of course. When family members im close to need me im always there for them and im just a phone call or a text message away and ill be there in no time. My family means the world to me. Have a great day.

Sensitive human misfortune is that although it is aware of all the beauties of life, he's only reached the evils of this world. The world is as it is. So much praise the quality of man that we forget to look around. Humanity have not yet arrived at perfect consciousness. We are still primitive in this regard. Being sensitive may seem to some as a flaw, others scorn a man and now out on the sensitive mouth totally stupid expressions like "that / that 's emo! Woe to me and me !"... how some hidden or some go to the extreme as all others .. and play .. maybe .. that's the saddest are unable to judge, but in my mind, so I one, I think, in the feelings, the only place where I would not make a playground for the one who plays dirty, could get the ball to be given all later .. tip: do not play ..!
