Do you blame yourself when you get your feelings hurt?

I get so annoyed with myself when I get my feelings hurt. So I just try to get over it as quickly as possible. It never does any good to dwell, and at least as an adult your feelings are less likely to be hurt (at least for me). When was the last time you got your feelings hurt?

I get annoyed with the other person and may walk away from the friendship if they've hurt me badly enough.

Makes sense. Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m being overly sensitive or not.

@AmbiePam I don't worry about things like that. (And you shouldn't either. Your feelings are yours and shouldn't be dependent on anyone else. )

Only my brother hurt my feelings. I tried to be nice, but he does not seem to care to be friendly again.

@Laurakemunto - I was kind enough to try to get back in touch with him. He ignored me, I moved on.

Family can sometimes put us at crossroads and dilemma but in the end we need to choose ourselves and our inner peace

It happened a few minutes ago when I wanted to have a nice chat with friend, but he was driving his neighbor to the bank. I understand why he couldn't talk, but he could have said I'll you when I get home or something. It's OK though .I am typically not that nice to him anyway.

@Laurakemunto I think we can’t always help how we feel. She understood he was busy, but that doesn’t always help.

Now you feel it's reciprocated? No maybe you wrong and he was genuinely busy and focussed to drive his neighbor to the bank. You shouldn't be hurt

Strangely enough it was a couple of weeks ago. Little One made some funny remark that she has made many times before, and I told her that was a worn out old joke. She responded that my face was a worn out old joke. I was unreasonably hurt by that, I guess because I feel that there is a lot of truth in it!

I have to tell you, that would hurt my feelings too. That’s just mean. And I’d bet your face is lovely, just like your heart.

@AmbiePam You're so sweet Thank you. I know she only meant to be funny and it would have been funny too, probably, if I wasn't feeling bad about my face already!

Nope do not let other people's remarks or opinions make you feel bad. You are good no one needs to approve you of your looks

I wrote a response to this and it vanished in thin air. Second time today, not sure why it did that. Anyway... No, I don't get annoyed or hurt too much about it anymore. The two people who seemed to specialize in hurting me in any way they could are basically out of my life now. One is deceased (and no one misses this person) and the other one lives far, far away, yay!

@Laurakemunto I have learned over the years that there are just a few people out there that seem to find fault with everything and everyone in their path. I try very hard to steer clear of these people. I can't change them...but I can change how I deal with them. I don't need any downers in my life right now.

@MarieCoyle wow exactly the slogan I learned and am happy that as I grow older I've learned to protect my peace fiercely no matter the source of pain. I value me above anything else

I get hurt over the wrong things, and should not. Often, I have learned, it is a miscommunication or something of the like.

I can’t ever tell if I’m being overly sensitive when it’s my sister.

As a child, I seemed to be overly sensitive but I think I'm a bit better now. It can be difficult to get over a slight or whatever.
