Are you thick skinned?

Thick skinned according to me is to stay unscathed no matter what the situation. Do you hurt others and remain thick skinned or do you not bother when others hate you. Have you hurt anyone or has anyone hurt you?

Growing up, I've often gotten hurt . . . but eventually I toughened up and realized I had to learn to control my reactions to others who hurt - because I cannot control the people who do hurt.

@allknowing For me, I can be still sensitive at times, but not as much as I did in my youth. Some things do get easier with age .

I try not to hurt others. If it happens unknowingly, I just cannot help. Others cannot hurt me, till I want to feel hurt.

That is a good way of putting it that you choose to get hurt or not to get hurt

@allknowing Yes, no one could hurt me till I start feeling about it.

Hey there, I do not consider myself thick skinned. However, I do know how to deal with my feelings. We are in a situation that we can constantly be hurt by others, but I understand that sometimes it's not on purpose. And when it is, as well, it's not good to ourselves to keep bothering us. We can't live inside shells, so we have to get ourselves a little exposed and, sometimes, take a few punches. Yes, I have accidentaly hurt people. And yes, I have been hurt as well. But I do not hold any grudges at all. Have a nice time!

I am extremely thin skinned. I do defend myself against phony oddballs, idiots, and nasty jealous people.

I used to be like you and suffered on account of that. Nowadays I just ignore those who try to hurt me. They are out of my life forever (lol)

@allknowing Lol! Yes, those idiots are out of my life forever, too. No need to have them try to ruin our happiness at this stage of our life. It's very freeing!
