i think im too sensitive. how can i improve this?


Question:
hi everyone. my name is jenn and im brand new here. nice to meet you all. i have a problem: i think im too sensitive. im very emotional and my feelings get hurt too easily. i'll give you a few examples:

a) if i go to visit my family at their house and my parents don't talk to me as much as my other siblings, i start to worry, why arent they interested in me.

b) if i talk with my friends or my family and when i say something they dont respond or i have to repeat myself, i feel like what i have to say isnt important and they are in their own world. it drives me nuts.

it seems like i let my mind and imagination go wild. i know im a little crazy right? i want to change. what can i do? thanks!

Answers:
you are not crazy. you don't need to go on meds. and you don't need to go out and do something wild and oppositional to get attention. in other words, don't listen to the yahoos on here.

being oversensitive is something you can get over. you are aware that you are, which is the first step to changing you! congratulations! your half way there! (most people that have issues don't admit it or refuse to change)

the best ways i have found to changing my personality flaws is when i find myself responding or feeling a certain way i dislike - i tell myself "your doing it again." and i stop it. i get myself refocused and move forward with that. whether it be self talk to change an attitude or something physical to take my mind off how i'm feeling.

good luck! you'll be fine. and remember, there are people that simply feel much empathy for others and while some perceive that to be overly sensitive, others perceive it to be wonderful. there are many in this world that need to learn to have more empathy for others and i'm betting you are a very caring person and very considerate of others.
