Great article. Thanks. I'm one of those people that others would call 'too sensitive.' Hey, I would get sensitive about them calling me sensitive! But, as you say, you grow up and realize that people use that crutch to get away with being cruel. They play mind games as if you're the one with the problem! So you identify those kinds of people and learn to deal with them or go on. You learn balance, plain and simple. I love being sensitive on one hand - I cry at movies and when my friends describe their pain. Being sensitive has empowered me to do things I wouldn't have if I had been cold or cowardly. But on the other hand, I've learned to care less about things I can't do anything about or people who try to test me in some way.
It makes me - me.
