Sensitivity is very hard to deal with. For some people it's in their nature to feel upset over another's words or actions. We must try to remember that sometimes others are taking frustrations that have nothing to do with us on us because we just happen to be there when they need to take out their frustration on someone. It's important to ask ourselves a few simple questions when we become sensitive to someone's remarks or actions. Did I have anything to do with someone's frustration? Am I reacting to something that I am sensitive to by my own experience? Is someone who is hurting me know just where my panic buttons are and are pushing them to get a reaction? getting in touch with our sensitivities is important in overcoming being overly sensitive.

What if being sensitive isn't something you need to stop, but be embraced? We all have some abilities where we are above normal. Some people have better hearing, seeing, etc... For those who are sensitive are more aware and in-tune to their surrounding. Perhaps, a better way to look at it is to find ways to cope with it and bring this gift to the world somehow.

You don't. There's nothing wrong with being so sensitive. There are ways to limit it at certain occasions, but if you're emotional and sensitive there's a valid reason. Do not let someone think that your voice and opinion isn't valid and shouldn't be valued. You are amazing and you matter.

Try to imagine how sensitive, or insensitive other people are. Now, if they can not care or just pass over something you said... why should you react or overreact every time they say something?
Trick is... do not care that much for all the other people say. You need just few chosen people, and do not waste your time nor energy on the world...

i deal with the same problem. it's like everything is a personal attack, but that's the thing. not everything is intended to harm us. take a few deep breaths and analyze the situation by asking yourself a few questions. let's say someone said something to you that bothered you. did they point out something true or false? if it's true, there is no need to be offended because it means it's something you can either fix or be proud of, depending on the situation. if it's false, there is also no need to be offended because it doesn't apply to you! it's crazy how simple it is, and i understand if it's difficult to get used to at first. i still struggle with this problem, but with a little practice and change of mindset, you can do this!

Being sensitive is a beautiful thing. It shows your empathy, your care, your fragile heart. At first, it feels like the world likes to hammer away at the fragile hearts of the world and break them... but the heart is the one thing on this earth that can break and come back stronger than before. The question shouldn't be "How can I stop being so sensitive?" rather, "How can I protect my sensitive soul without getting hurt?" I know that it hurts to hurt over the littlest things, but even if they are seen as little it doesn't change the hurt we can feel from it. Over time, the more you protect yourself and live confidently, the easier it will become.
