Hi there I am too sensitive to other peoples comments and opinions of me, it is the single most troublesome part of my personality, does anyone know more about this like why it is I am so sensitive and how I can stop from being so hurt and offended by everything? people would have no idea that I am upset really apart from I might avoid them after, at the time my feelings would be hidden it just gets added to the "why people are so nasty to me" pile!!! generally it wouldn't always be what someone even said it would be more me thinking that people don't want to be around me or be friends with me by things they say or their behaviour. A lot of this goes on internally in my head and is centred around rejection or perceived rejection. My dad suffered from depression and had an affair, I remember at the time I felt rejection that he would risk losing his family for her but even though I know this I still can't conquer it :(

yeah, I'm the same. I can remember things that people said years back which were probably just throw-away comments to them, but I just dwell on them and let them upset me.

I have trouble defining whether comments are meant in jest o'r if they are genuine dissing comments. Anyway i am very sensitive.

Does anyone give people the silent treatment if they feel hurt by them? I do.

I'm a sucker for doing it to people. I wish i could just tell them straight out that they have pissed me off but i can't so i ignore them instead. Yes that's a pic of me.

oh your very handsome!

I am doing it at the moment to people in work as I felt they were bitchy and nasty to me, I am about to return to an almighty of a situation at work where people are two faced and bitchy and now because I ignored 2 of the girls there is a little click of people they have bitched about me to. I don't bitch about people so I am obviously on my own in this situation. I am NOT looking forward to it, infact I am terriefied of feeliong rejected. I am trying to work on loving myself and not caring what they think but I don't know how successful I will be at it. My mission for 2008 is to learn to love and accept myself. I've had plenty of good tips on the best way to do this but anymore would be appreciated! :)

Yeah, I give people the silent treatment that piss me off as well. It's easier than confrontation but it bothers me that half the time, they don't even realize that they did anything wrong....which sux even more cuz I wanna explain my viewpoint but I don't wanna dwell on something that happened hours before....and I'm not a very sensitive person so it takes quite a lot to get under my skin. (and for the record, I agree with jellybean about recluse) :)

...

I am overly sensitive in that I become self conscious when someone gives constructive criticism or something of the sort in a way where they try to round the edges or try to avoid offending me even though I don't give a sh*.

I then feel my face getting red in a rage that I don't actually feel, in an offense that I don't actually have.

It's like their political correctness has the reverse effect they intended.
