Things which people say as a joke, just minor comments about me, can hurt me really deeply.
While things that normally are considered unacceptable behavior by other people, are just minor inconveniences to me; they're just part of the friendship.
On one end, when I tell someone something hurt me I'm considered "too sensitive." That it's just a joke, why am I making a big deal.
But on the other end of the spectrum, I let people say and do what they want and not stand up for myself and suddenly I'm "a push over." How can I not stand up for myself when others put me through so much crap.
I just don't get it. Is my sense of what's okay and not okay among friends messed up? Am I not normal somehow? Growing up and making friends, did I miss some important lesson on when to stand up for yourself versus when to laugh at yourself? What's wrong with me?

Why is it so hard to stop being sensitive

Exactly same is happening to me, you just spoke to my hear, u very perfectly described what i am feeling right, except one thing that i am not confused is nothing is wrong with me, wrong is with those ppl who treat you like its ok to let you down.
ReplyEven if they don't mean it, especially if someone wasn't trying to make you feel that way. I've tried so hard to be respected. Last year I gave up. But this year I'm trying to believe in myself instead of what they think. And someone said something, it was just a joke, it wasn't mean, it wasn't even bad, but the rest of class I had to try and hold in the tears, this is SO STUPID, but to me it meant all I've tried for isn't doing a THING.
ReplyWhat was the remark and joke they made?
How do you let people say and do whatever they want?
ReplyI am a really sensitive person as well. People think being sensitive is a weakness and as I got older I found it was a strength. You have the capability to feel things that other people can't and to understand things people can't. The best thing is too, your not stuck with the friends you choose.
ReplyI am sensitive too. My feelings get hurt very easily. I want everyone to like me. It is not that your senses of morality is messed up, but it is just your character that you are "sensitive". There is nothing wrong with you. I get hurt over the smallest thing while my friends are ok with things. Everyone is different.
