Do you take things too personally?

I definitely do, in fact, I have been told that many times by people. But, I also think that my personality, and some of the yahoo's that I hang out with, leave me perceptible to being treated like crap at times. I wish I could take the high road and leave all of my friends, and this life behind, start anew.

I have to remind myself that I'm being too sensitive quite often. It's one of the things that this forum has helped me with. I and others have posted things before where helpful people have cautioned that we were over-reacting. I always tend to agree with them when I really look at the situation from their point of view. So, now whenever I feel down or embarrassed about a comment made to me or something I have done, I think about the advice I have gotten on here and remind myself that I am taking something small and making it into a big deal by taking it too personally. It helps me to calm down and feel better a lot.

I do indeed. My mother noticed this when I was young. You're very sensitive, she said. She was right.

I used to. Back when I was younger, my social skills were even more horrible and as a result, I tend to misinterpret things and even take things too personally. Some people even remarked that I am too serious, incapable of taking a joke. Now, it's gotten better, as I've somewhat improved on my social skills. But the problems that I'm facing in these recent years are actually very different: I encountered people who take things way too personally, sometimes holding long deep grudges and hatred for me, sometimes for no apparent reason. The situation has reversed. I am now the target of people to take things too personally, and I'm not sure how to deal with this.

I do. But ah never let people know... too much pride or mibbe am too scared tae get mad at people? :idontknow: Ah take racist jokes, personally. Especially when ma family start sayin' 'em, coupled with maist jokes usually bein' at ma expense. Ah just laugh along n' leave the room, feelin' uncomfortable.

Ah don't know how best tae deal wi' the situation, so mibbe it's for the best no' tae call 'em out.

I don't really know, actually. When someone says something that wasn't supposed to be taken personally, I know it, but I fear that they think I took it personally and will apologize or something. I don't want people to think they hurt my feelings or to feel pity for me. I don't know why.

Definitely. It's the nature of the beast, I figure.
I try to not let people know though. Got to keep that smile plastered on my face.

Don't worry, me too. But I feel like that everywhere. It's my curse, to get mostly ignored or overlooked. I think it's more or less a post count thing though. See I'm trying to think positive. Ha. Wish it were that simple, think positive and good things will happen. Funny because when I was a teenager I actually even tried to see the good in bad things...I was a teenager when I made my siggy here...

So originally where are you from? Since obviously you're at least college age, and female, I assume you're living away from your parents. Do you have a bf?A BFF? What have you studied in school?!? :)

I take things a bit too personally also. I'm not as bad as I used to be thankfully. I used to make a big deal of small situations or comments but I can see now when someone is joking or when they're just being rude. People can be really ambiguous with their comments too; sometimes it's hard to tell if somebody is being funny or if they're trying to put you down.

I hate having this overly sensitive nature to people and situations. I've been feeling like this for as long as I can remember, even in school I used to get upset at teachers shouting at the class or getting in trouble. I go away feeling embarrassed and beating myself up over it.

One thing that has helped was ditching Facebook. That thing can really be a mine field.

How could I not take things too personally when other people in the world are taking things too personally? It's hard. I've even gotten paranoid about what I'm saying, just so that I don't piss anybody off. Which is why I don't speak much in class.
