i admit that i am a very sensitive person.. i get hurt by words alone and gestures that implies rejection... i feel hurt when my boyfriend does not exert effort to make me happy., or when my friends are too busy to be with me... do you feel the same way too..or am i just oversensitive,..do you feel bad over little things once in a while?

I am right there with you! I am super sensitive and the small things to someone else tears me apart. I get hurt a lot in my life. I feel like I'm on the back burner to everyone else.

it's not easy to be so sensitive because... we felt down over simple things yet though we are aware that it's just a tiny issue.., we still feel the tightening of our chest as we deny ourselves of the pain we felt.. that's why i cry so easily.. i don't want to control the pain i felt..it makes me feel better to cry it out... and my boyfriend thinks i'm a crybaby..haha..

There are two different types of hurt. 1. physical hurt eg cuts,bruises broken bones etc 2. emotional hurt eg being rejected not loved etc. I find it easier to get hurt emotionally than physically. It's even worse when you get rejected over and over again. emotional hurt isn't always to do with loved ones it can be due to being dropped from a sporting team. The last real pain I had was getting a wisdom tooth pulled out and the dentist didn't numb the tooth properly and I jumped out of the dentists chair. Nothing compares to that in my experience with pain. Time does heal wounds, however it is easier to get over physical hurt than emotional hurt. Emotional hurt takes more time to heal because you need to rebuild trust. Broken trust is one of the biggest fears that we have. Without trust we don't have anything.

if i would have to choose between the two kind of hurt,,i would prefer the physical one..because after the bruise or wound is gone..,it will only leave a scar.., but the pain will no longer be there.., when i'm hurt emotionally.., the pain will always be there.., and the memory of that pain will not be forgotten easily..,

yeah I am kinda like you, but 20 years of life has taught me enough that nowadays even when I get hurt internally I just act that I am cool, but later when I am alone I just think over it and gets frustrated or sad or incompetent. I don't have a girl friend, so I am lucky that through that channel I won't get hurt. These days what hurts me more is how weird my parents act sometimes .

hmmm... when i'm hurt, i don't show it to others..i fake it with a smile..., and when i'm alone.., that is the time that i burst out..., i know this isn't doing me any good to be over sensitive so.., i'm trying to challenge myself to be tougher and not be affected easily.. i wish i can handle it..=)

I would say that i too am very sensitive and get too emotional at times. Especially when i am being ignored when im talking, that is if my opinion is really important to be heard. My bf also told me that i should be less sensitive at times because its useless to get hurt when you know you're really not ignored and loved by many.

i don't it's bad if we are being sensitive.. it only means we are human enough to acknowledge our emotions..it's bad when it stirs into an argument...but i avoid that... yes it's painful to expect something and it never happened... i experienced that most of the time..the more we expect.., the more pain it will elicit to us.., i thought i'm the only one who is sensitive..i'm glad to know that there a few who are like me too..=)

maybe yes. i get hurt easily with certain topics, but not hurt with other topics i consider not really important.
for example, i easily get hurt when people say something bad about my loved ones but i don't really get hurt when people say something bad about a colleague. i just don't mind.

I do.. I'm too emotional and too sensitive.. But I play it cool and will still look tough in front of others... But if I am with my partner, I show all my emotional tantrums.. Sometimes its overboard already because just little things, I make it a big deal and feel bad right away.. Sometimes it's the cause of our arguments that I'm being too sensitive and emotional over little things which I shouldn't be.
