I pretty much hold everything in and pretend most of the time, but I'm actually really sensitive and a lot of things bother me or even trigger me that I don't say anything about. It all bottles up and then when my period pushes me past my mental capacity I usually break down, like one month I couldn't sleep and I was watching old t.v. shows and someone on the show had a baby and I was crying to much omg... it's literally the stupidest thing ever, because I don't let myself cry over things that deserve it I cry over something silly and can't stop. It's a great time.
Not massively. There's not many people who are capable of hurting my feelings. A total stranger would never bother me in the least with anything they said to me. If it's somebody closer to me, I'm more sensitive.
I'm very sensitive when it comes to certain things in general though; discrimination, ignorance, etc
Yes, I'm extremely sensitive. I'm not the type to cry at movies or books but if I have the slightest idea that, say, a friend is mad at me, I'll start crying. And when I'm upset my whole body tends to react so there have been times when I couldn't eat for three days because I was upset over a small disagreement or something I heard.
When I had a bad mix of depression and anxiety... Yes. I would overthink every small thing and it would reduce me to tears. I guess, depression can make you feel really empty and numb inside, but then there are moments where you feel full of emotion, you feel like your sadness is bursting out of your body. I would get upset over every small thing. I could drop something and then think to myself "jesus can I do anything right", because I was so on the edge all of the time.
But that being said I'm much better now. I'm no where near as sensitive as I used to be, but I can have my moments. There's some things I don't really like talking about though, or like thinking about. If people remind me about it or mention something related to it I can get pretty cold/sad/upset etc so...
yes so much, like today this morning I hurried outside because there was a fire truck and ambulance to the house next door, and it was our neighbor that we are most friends with : ( They boarded him in the truck and I cried a bit
i'm oversensitive to the point of hating myself for it for a while but i've come to accept it and hold things in. but yeah, it's pretty bad for mental stability tbh
Usually I tend to keep things bottled up if something bothers me. I like to think that I'm a very emotional person but not sensitive in the least bit also. It's a pretty strange contradiction but I'm basically trying to say that I feel a lot of things and when someone does say something that potentially hurts me I don't take offense to it until my gradual build up of emotions overflows and I just vent/ cry/ rant about everything that I've been keeping. Hmph.
yes and it annoys me, i've often left arguments in tears because i work myself up. and i hate myself for it because it looks like attention seeking behaviour but i find it hard to bottle my sensitivity up
i would say i'm sensitive only around people i like. if it's someone i hate i can be cold as stone to them.
but yeah i am pretty sensitive (i guess?), not really in the offended sense (though i can kinda get offended easily depending on which buttons are pressed) but more in the 'i have a big heart that you don't want to crush' kinda sense.
does me crying at fictional stories/tv shows make me sensitive bc if so then i would put myself in the sensitive category af
nope, not at all really. i get annoyed, but i don't find my self often getting emotionally affected in terms of sadness. the one time i can think of recently is when my rabbit died, around 6 months ago. that was really sad because i was holding him as he died (i just got home from school when it happened and i cried)
No not really? I mean if you're talking about getting butthurt easily, then no. But when it comes down to feelings and emotions, I'm pretty sensitive (if you've upset me or made me butthurt, I won't voice it; I'll pretend everything is hunky dory and not say a thing). I do tend to hold in a lot though, but it doesn't always stay in its 'bottle'.
