Some people think that being sensitive is something wrong. They think when you cry in front of others it makes them look weak. When you cry seeing a movie, people laugh at it.
Is being sensitive something to be changed in you?
What do we mean by being sensitive? Being sensitive and self-pity are totally different.
Self-pity arises from low self-esteem, sensitiveness arises from compassion.
While self-pity is selfishness, sensitiveness is giving.
Self pity makes you lose reasons; sensitiveness makes you realize reasons.
Self-pity is stubbornness; but sensitiveness listen to others.
Self-pity is denial; sensitiveness is acceptance.
If you are having self pity, that needs to be removed. To do so, you have to feel confident in yourself. Being a good human with sensitiveness is a great strength and virtue. If you are sensitive, be grateful and proud about that–don’t ever change it–be the sensitive YOU always.

Loved your expressions and explanation of sensitive and self-pity. I’m reading everything and so enjoying it. When I am reading, it is much more meaninful and planted in me because I know your heart and face. You are such a blessing and amazing authentic and you have touched my heart, or should I say pierced, changed. You Go Girl. I’m going to share your site with my friends. I will be checking in to get my spiritual norishment regularly. Love you Ms Daisy

I’m sorry, but NO. Being sensitive makes me stressed and it’s making me unhappy. People making me upset or cry without lifting a finger is not something I can appreciate. Maybe if I were more like Jesus.
If somebody is going to write about how not to be so sensitive, make sure it actually has advice on how to do so instead of trying to dissuade those of us who want to be made of stone.

Hi Anonymous, you could’ve told directly to the writer-right? Why you have to address ‘somebody’? Why you cannot put your name? Why you have to hide? If you can learn frankness… expressing what is in mind directly to the person… may help in your problem. I wrote another article – Read it. How to live with your sensitivity.
