Are you always sensitive?

[BlueDays]

Yes.
A friend of mine from years ago once described me as "being like Fine Bone China. People around you are scared if they say the wrong thing to you, you will break". I didn't know I was that sensitive until she told me that.
However I think it has lessened a bit with age now.

I'm weather sensitive, and have EHS. Emotionally... not as much. I find it hard to express emotion and feeling due to my degree of social anxiety.

I feel like I am not as sensitive as I should be, or even as much as I would expect of myself. More than anything, I often just feel emotionless all together. It seems to be happening a lot more lately too. If I am sensitive, I am definitely not openly sensitive most of the time, and when I am it's too the extreme. I don't usually know when the appropriate time to feel sensitive is anyways. It's all so confusing.

I felt kind of "emotionless" a lot of time. It's not about how you "should" feel. Just be yourself, feel what you feel and forget about how you "should" feel. Just be yourself, open or not about it. Do what makes you comfortable and forget about how you think you shold be

I'm so sensitive that people find it annoying - which hurts.

Lol I like this answer. If I were to be honest with myself and others this is me too,

I'm sorta like a turtle I think. I have that hard outer shell that allows doesn't let things get to me, if you manage to get me out of my shell though, when I'm vulnerable, I'm unbelievably sensitive. Maybe that's why the shell is there to begin with, I don't know.

 

[Agent_Violet]

I'm hypersensitive to everything. Until I shut myself down somehow...then I'm sensitive to nothing and end up hurting people. Seems it's either all or nothing for me in all aspects of life and emotions.

Seriously now, the sensitive vj I know is very cool, interesting and a great friend, and I'd rather talk to him than the closed one (who is cool too, but not so much ).
Open up yourself, we want to see the real shelly

I am very sensitive to perceived signs of rejection, which I feel I encounter every day. Apparently I always look aloof or unemotional but inside there is a lot a stress over minor things going on.

 

[Sariya08]

I am ALWAYS sensitive. I always take what everyone says and does personally. I either cry about it, get quiet, or get super defensive. I do not know how to handle my emotions sometimes.

 

[Sariya08]

Wind, you took the words right out of my mouth, too. When I feel rejected, inadequate, dishonored, anything, I get sensitive and paranoid. I've been told multiple times that I look unapproachable but I tell those close to me that it's so hard for people to really know what I feel like inside. Sometimes I can't handle all the stimulus and thoughts going on in my head.

 

[Eristelle]

I'm so sensitive, everyone yells at me for crying over "nothing". -__-

I get this, too.

 

[razzle dazzle rose]

Criticism and rejection are like little deaths. I just cannot deal with it. I wish I had thicker skin.

Also, I am what is known as a "highly sensitive person." Little things annoy us, like loud noises. We can be big complainers. I am too sensitive, but it is who I am...just gotta learn to keep it in check so I don't annoy those around me.

All or nothing...I know how that goes. As sensitive as I am, I can be quite brutish at the same time.

 

[lonely_drummer]

I am very sensitive to what people say but I am very good at hiding it. But I always over analyze it later and it always gets me down.

Sorry you feel this way, because I get it and I know how unhelpful that can be.

This sounds just like me.::

Most people are like this, I would reckon, but, depending on the noise, I love it. Loud babies crying? No. Loud earth moving equipment? Bring on the decibels!

Actually, most noise! :: my boyfriend got me these cool little noise-canceling headphones for Christmas. They are awesome on the train!
