I also wish I wasn't so sensitive.

Every little thing hurts me and I try to hide it and be like “nah it’s fine” but it does. I’ve been yelled at to get over it, deal with it, stop being so sensitive, grow a pair, get thicker skin but I can’t help being so sensitive. Things hurt me and I can’t control it. Having to sit through a year of not being able to show my real emotions, you’d think I’d get better at being apathic and nonchalant about shit, but I’m not. Putting on a facade only made it worse. Especially since I had no one to go to for a good portion of that year. I just don’t wanna be so sensitive. I’m tired of crying over little shit but I can’t help it man.

I hate the fact that I have to be strong. I have to put on a fake, strong, personality. I have to pretend that I’m a big boy, a big man, a dude who doesn’t care. I have to pretend that I’m stronger than I really am, and play it off like it didn’t hurt really bad.

@Hexers-Angel Unless youre a robot, everyone is sensitive about something. So there should be more understanding for people when they are vulnerable. When people encounter a sensitive person, or simply anyone who takes something personally, it is extremely important that they respect what is bothering them. I wish everyone could be accepting of other people’s emotions and feelings. I can see how it is hard to not just want to be strong so you don’t inconvenience other people with your sensitivity. I think genuinely the strongest thing people can do is set boundaries with people. If they bark or bite, it is not your fault for not complying with “just let it go.” It is your emotions. Your feelings. Nobody can tell you how to act, feel, or talk. Early in people’s lives, the more and more people’s feelings and emotions get shut down, the worse people will be able to function as an adult. That is why I feel like it is so important that people talk about how they feel. I can’t stop people from shutting you down, but I can at least advise you to find people you can feel comfortable enough to express your emotions. The nice thing about sensitive people is that they are more likely to be accepting of other sensitive people because they can sympathize.
To be honest, I used to be a very sensitive person in the past. I realized who I was crying about was not worth my time or mental energy. That might not apply to you, but that is just my personal experience with being sensitive. I know that self confidence also plays a role in practically any social experience.
