It's natural to be sensitive. There's nothing wrong with that. Being sensitive is being you and that's absolutely fine. A person is usually sensitive when something uncomfortable or hurtful occurs. It's a natural feeling to being sensitive to certain things; sensitive to certain topics. People are often sensitive because of past experiences with certain situations. Everyone is different and we all have different ways of approaching situations. Some are more sensitive than others, but that's fine. It doesn't make you less of a human. To stop being so sensitive is a personal choice. One that may affect the rest of your life.

I think it's important to realize that not everything is as personal as it seems. A lot of the time, if you feel hurt by someone else's actions, that person's behaviors have an external cause that isn't related to you. For example, they might be experiencing mental health issues or they might be distracted and stressed out about work or school. Sometimes, they may not even realize that what they did or said could be hurtful. Once you realize this, you're able to feel hurt by the other person's actions without letting this feeling have a negative impact on your self-esteem. For example, you can understand that just because you have been hurt by someone doesn't mean that you're unworthy of love.
