Feeling depressed or anxious can be so overwhelming. I want to help you feel better and be able to enjoy life. You are not alone and you deserve emotional support.

Being sensitive can lead to many problems for you so you should let the things go because stuff happens. Don't make it come to you.

Try and analyse what is being said first before immediately jumping to conclusions about what someone might be saying. Try and not react if something hurts you emotionally and if it persists either try and remove yourself from that situation entirely or ask the person to stop as you do not like it. Sometimes confrontation can be a good way of communicating to others how you are feeling.
