Yes too sensitive. Been this way all my life. Don't know why. Some call it jealousy and some call it selfish. But only a few.
Someone can say something that stays on my mind and brings me down all day
I really have to fight that feeling. I try hard not to dwell on it. But alas it comes back at odd times. None of the rest of my family is like that nor has ever been, so I can't say what causes it. Most don't give a hoot what others think of them and can leave it go. 
I remember one episode of Andy Griffith where Barney was saying "I am just sensitive. My mother was like that and I get that from her"
well my mom was not. Anything you said she might just get mad and let you know it
Lord I am praying for that as I don't like depression.
What about you? Are you too sensitive ?

my depression comes from taking to heart something said about or to me that I know is not true but still have doubts and second guess. I have a complex about a few things. Not a confident person. Perhaps you are confident in yourself not as sensitive ?

@just4him me too. my dad cared but I hardly ever got to see him. My mom and step dad was same as yours. especially mom. I think that's why I over done it with my kids. to the point of spoiling them. proves no one is perfect with how they raise them. I just never wanted them to feel like I did.

@bunnybon7 Try again. I'm super sensitive. I grew up with parents who couldn't find anything good about me and always told me I would never amount to anything. It took many many years for me to get some self-confidence. I still need to tell myself I'm worth it. I went to bed crying almost every night while I was growing up. If it weren't for my writing, I don't know how I would have ended up.

aaww! love you girl for that. Nice not to feel alone and all wrong. I see you understand what I am saying and handle it pretty much the same.

@bunnybon7 Some people are so quick to say things that hurt, they do not even stop a moment to think before offending.

I used to be more sensitive than I am now. But I still did not worry about what others thought of me. Now if someone really wants to try hurting my feelings I just tell them to have a good day and walk away.

most are like that. I just really wish I could be. Just can't stand to think I am selfish or jealous of anyone. or have my kids talk down to me like I am nothing to them. 
but then some people make me feel better by suggesting it's not me , it's the person that said it.

@bunnybon7 Some people you just know what they are going to say in certain situations. I just play a little game in my head and chuckle to myself when they say it.

Bonnie, I would call it none of those. I would call it that you feel more than others and things bother you more. I am the same way. I know how you feel. I find things just weigh on me and cannot get over them and they can put me in a bad mood. I know what you are saying. There are those that do not care at all and go through life like that. I really do not know where I get it from either. My mother was not around much and neither was my father. My grandfather was my rock for 14 years and then he was gone and I had to learn to be independent and a survivor.

yes I to noticed that with me. I used to cry secretly some where for a day or two. now I only let it get to me a day or less. It does get easier as things don't matter as much now.

My sister used to be sensitive to what people said and done, or as she would say " they acted weird when I was there, toward me." But those were the days when she was not on medication for her bi-polar.
I have had to teach her, as an adult, to get tough and not care what people say and to never let others control her feeling like she was. Now she is not as sensitive as she was and knows she is not the only one that can`t be around all people.
Maybe life has made me hard, I don`t know. I have a soft side but its hard to make me cry with words.
Have you talked to them about how what they say hurts your feelings? And not to pry and you do not have to answer, have you tried medication to help with depression?

a lot of friends and family and doctors have said I need it. Funny thing though they are usually on that themselves and still get very depressed. So what would be the point of adding to my humongous amount of medications I figure. So no I have not. I have never figured out how people can not work through it without when like I said they haven't helped at all.

oh and yes, I talk to them before, then just give up cause they don't seem to care at all . So gotten to where I don't try now cause if something is doing no good why bother.

Sometimes the truth hurts, you are in a pole, as there are other extremely hard people with their words, although not bad people, only that they are very direct to address without ornaments. You just have to let many things flow, don't take everything personal, if you find it difficult to understand the process of change, seek psychological help, a behavior counselor can advise you on your problem and get closer to socialization, to channel your moods and become a person more receptive to everything, so much so that your life will begin to change, more doors will open, more relationships, more trust, you must empower yourself. Luck.

I would not like to think of myself as being insensitive true. But I do tend to let others at times "run over " me as you say.

I have always been sensitive - and for a long time I was the bottling-it-up type. On the outside I may have seemed like the person who could let things go, but inside I'd be hurting deeply. After I had kids though, I toughened up . . . I can still be sensitive, but I can blow things off faster - and learning to get mad outwardly on the spot has helped tremendously - but I still seek that balance

Not me, I just got worse after the kids because by the time they grew to teens, they sometimes said rotten things to me and even though I would pretend it didn't bother me, it would steam in me and hurt till I finally got mad instead and blew my top. and now that they are grown, they still remember my part and hold it against me. 
fuel for more words that cut.
