Do You Know Any Highly Sensitive People?

I think i was highly sensitive person when I was teenager and when I was kid. i remeber one day with had some workers in our house and my mum terll me to bring the egg. And I accidently broke it so i started cry and run, but not because I was scared, but because I know I did something wrong. Also when teachers hurt me in school with their comments I was sad about it for very long time. It looks like I change or rather say life change me and I am being harder and harder.

I used to be, but my step dad put a stop to that. Now I just take life in my stride and laugh instead of running away. It is natural to be sensitive, but you can learn not to be! As for love? Coming upto 7 years with my partner and we are as happy as pigs in mud!lol.

i guess i fit that description. had my first boyfriend when i was 21. was intimate with him after a year of going out. but i am sensitive on lots of other levels too. i am constantly wondering what other people think about me. i just dont know why it bothers me that much. i am extremely shy because of that.

Dear friend sorry this has taken so long to respond to but I have been really busy. No I do not think I am really sensitive. I let a lot of behaviors of other people slide by me. I can forgive a lot of people and tend to find close friends fast. I have been in love with the same man for over 30 years no matter how much he bugs me. (haha). I do on the other hand get upset with myself easily and not forgive myself easily. I do not think that is the same line of what you are talking about. Good topic I hope you have lots of responses.

I'm sensitive too. It's taken me years to realize it though. I thought of myself as tough, but I've come to realize that my tough attitude is to sometimes protect me from showing my true feelings. I do fall in love hard, but didn't really fear intimacy. I fell hard for myu husband though. I guess it was okay because we have been together and happy for many years now. I don't like being tolds I'm sensitive, even though I know it myself. I do struggle to respect my husband on certain things when I think he's not being sensitive, but it's usually me that's being overly sensitive. I don't give up on love, but I do have a very difficult time with forgiving and forgetting. This discussion was good for me to express how I can be at times. I'm not like that all the time, but I definitely do have my moments.
