Do you your feelings get hurt easily? Or do you not get upset about things too much? Explain. :-)

I used to get my feelings hurt really easily and would cry at the drop of a hat. Now it's really hard to hurt me. It's something that I've really worked on, plus life's hard knocks have made me hard I guess. Things just kind of roll off me anymore. I just don't give other people as much power to do that kind of thing to me anymore. The only person that I have to live with and truly make happy is myself.

Thanks for best response! Yes you are right! There are times when it's ok to cry though.

That is good that you are stronger now but it is okay to get upset or show emotion when something tragic or bad happens or somebody says something really mean. Nothing wrong with showing emotion.

i think i am hipersensitive actually,i always get hurt if i care about somebody,and when i love i give everything from my part and try to make things work,even when they are bad..sometimes i try too hard ..i also try to help people and in the end i am the 'bad guy'(i am a girl :P)..so i wish i was more rational than emotional but i cant

Yes, I am very sensitive, but I've learned through the years to get alittle more tough skinned. I am sensitive, but I don't get upset too much.

That is good that you don't get too upset anymore. It is good to be sensitive to a certain extent.

I am very sensitive when it comes to people who I am close to (family,spouse). But generally, I'm not very sensitive. I might feel bad for a little while when someone says something hurtful but then I think about it, decide it shouldn't affect me what others think about me and go ahead with my life.

I am very sensitive to the people closest to me and even some that are not as close and am still learning not to let everything that is said or done to me hurt me as much.

i used to be a very sensitive person when i was a kid and i think it's due to my being an only child (no siblings to bully with). but as i grow older as i got exposed to the outside world of the bad, the harsh, and the wild, i was slowly stripped of my onion-skin which is a good thing. now i can handle criticisms or light punches and not take them personally. it's always better to be thick than be upset & miserable. plus, you can always throw some punches back anyway, hehe.

Thank you for your comments. :-) Glad to hear that you became stronger as you grew up. I can't take criticism pretty well but still will cry over different things that make me sad.

Being sensitive is a good thing. Some of us show it more than others. I will show it even if it is something minor. :-)

I can't help it either as that is just how I am and I wouldn't change the way I am. Nothing wrong with being sensitive.

My feelings do not get hurt too easy. But I do get very sensitive and upset when I see any kind of pain in animals or people. It tears me up inside.
