How can I stop being so sensitive?

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.

One thing that helps me a lot is to understand that whatever anyone says only affects you if you let it! Some things that could help is telling yourself that maybe the person didnt even realize that they hurt your feelings!

I think sensitivity is a very beautiful gift. Not everyone is granted this gift of being able to feel deeply. However, when this becomes too much (hypersensitive), that could become an issue. I think the best way to stop being so hypersensitive is by: 1) realizing and accepting your sensitivity gift; 2) know that you are not responsible for other people's feelings.

Getting to the reason as to why you're overly-sensitive in the first place is often a good course of action. There are a lot of unhealthy ways to deal with this that you need to be cautious about, shutting down entirely can lead to future problems or issues that you'd rather avoid. Talking to someone about this or seeking CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) can often help.

Nothing wrong with being sensitive. But what you can do is to figure out which areas in your life that you're really sensitive about, and try to figure out why. Zoom out and attempt to look at the bigger picture. Know that most people who are offending you are doing so out of ignorance, not malice. (Avoid malicious people if possible.) Be forgiving toward yourself -- and remember that sensitivity isn't always a bad thing!

I think it depends on your personality type. If you've always been a sensitive person, it just might be who you are and I don't think there's anything you can do otherwise, you'd be changing yourself. If not, though... building a wall and not taking everything other people say seriously, helps.

Being sensitive isn't a bad thing although you are contanty told it is. Sensitivity comes from emotions that building up inside you so don't hide these emotions, let them surface.

just be yourself and don't think too much about what others are saying about you. Don't let the events in your life be a hindrance of the things that you can accomplish

A good trick I've found is to separate myself from the situation. It's easy to say not to take something personally but harder to do. By realizing that most of the time a person's reaction has less to do with me and more about them, I often avoid feeling hurt.

There is nothing wrong with being sensitive. If you don't want to show it to the world try not to fucus on the things which make you senisitive in public. Take your mind off things which make you senistive
