*Vent* I'm not "sensitive" just because I stand up for myself

I shouldn't have to be labelled as sensitive when I stand up for myself when someone is clearly being rude to me. I'm not sensitive, I just don't take crap from people.

@Kerry88 It sounds like someone said something hurtful. Sorry you are going through that. And sensitive is one of those words with positive and negative connotations. I'm a very senesitve person but that makes me a good therapists, friend, wife and mom. It allows me to sense what other people are feeling- hence the word sensitive. And that's a good thing! But I know some people mean you take things too personally. Just remember that you always have a right to correct someone when they say something wrong about you (or ignore them) And having a reaction to someones harsh words is nothing wrong. I'm glad you're standing up for youself!

I like what Anna said, and I hope people don't make your personality feel like a bad thing to you. I am glad you are standing up for yourself!

No I don't think it's being sensitive when you stand up yourself. Matter of fact, I think it's a rather brave/confident thing to do. You shouldn't take crap from negative people in your life, I agree.@Kerry88
