How sensitive are you?

[Marte]

I'm really sensitive, which is pretty annoying. Haha

 

[duckykate]

i forgot the cream in someone's coffee at work and cried when he pointed it out

 

[LadyDestani]

It depends. If I made a mistake and someone points it out, I can be really sensitive about it because I try to hold myself to a very high standard. I get upset that I messed up and have to work very hard not to cry. But I typically don't make that same mistake twice, so it's good because it helps me learn.

If I did nothing wrong and someone is just being a jerk or maybe they had a bad day and are taking it out on others around them, I can let that slide and it usually doesn't affect me.

I also don't get easily offended. I know not everyone thinks before they speak, and I've stuck my foot in my mouth enough to know how easy it is to say the wrong thing. So if a person doesn't have any bad intentions and says something careless and hurtful without really meaning anything by it, I can move past that quite easily as well.

 

[demoness]

not at all, guilt rarely registers with me. i use the i'm a blessing on earth method

Story time.

Spoiler: This is long oops

This was my first week of work, and my first job EVER. Lemme just day, the whole situation the woman was given was weird. She was told to call back at 5pm to place the cake order, which is total bogus, cause that means someone in customer service told her that. You shouldnt have to 'call back' esp when the decorators have went home for the day. So she's on the phone, wanting a bridal shower cake at like 7am the next day, and it's like late 5pm as I'm taking the call. I tell her cakes have to be ordered 24 hours in advance. In my mind, I'm doing as I'm told, cakes have to be ordered 24 hours in advance. She gets mad at me, asking for a manager. I unfortunately have to tell her my manager went home for the day, and she demands to talk to the store manager. So, again, my first WEEK of working, I dont know how to page the store manager, so I have to tell her that and if she calls customer service and asks for the manager she can get him like that.
Later the store manager comes in saying a customer complained about me, saying I was rude and didn't know anythin. As I'm telling the situation to my dad later, I feel on the verge of tears, because this was my FIRST job, FIRST week of work and already a customer complained about me; I didnt want to loose my job already. In my defense, I was over whelmed and 'doing as I was told'. In that case thou I was being a alittle too literal with the 24 hour advance thing.

So yeah, I'm still a bit of a wuss. Sensitive might be the nice way to put it. I think from then and now (it's been atleast 8 months since then, maybe 9) my skin has become a little tougher. Now I just 'smile and wave' when a customer is rude. People are such jerks, and it's gonna take a real whopper of a one to get me to tears.

a bit

 

[Tessie]

extremely ;-;

im not too much of a crybaby about it, as it takes quite a bit to make me cry, but i seriously get offended or hurt by sooo many things. i think its my own insecurity and feeling like people just dont like me that causes me to manifest situations in my head.

 

[Buttonsy]

It depends on the subject, but most of the time, I'm fairly sensitive. That being said, a lot of my fear of people being mean to me is that I have social anxiety and am an introvert and I just find dealing with other peoples' anger very exhausting, regardless of what words they're actually saying.

 

[Shawna]

OMG you have no idea...

I am extremely sensitive when people yell at me, or get mad at me. A lot of the times, it leaves me holding back tears and the rest of my day gets ruined. I heard this could stem from neurodivergent disorders like ASD, ADHD, etc., which is probably why I am like this.

 

[rocketspruggs]

I'm not usually sensitive about anything. However, my eyes do start sweating when my mom raises her voice TOO loud at me.

 

[Beanz]

i guess it depends on what they say. i usually brush it off in front of them just so i can go cry in secret a few moments later lmao

 

[Snek]

I am not emotionally sensitive but I am physically sensitive. I am ticklish, which I am ashamed about, and among other parts that are more sensitive than others. Going back to why I am not emotionally sensitive...not really sure why. I do have emotions but they are not strong. If someone says negative things, they don't really matter to me because oftentimes that someone doesn't matter either. When negative things happen, I tend to tell myself to get through them. I was depressed in the past but that was because I was unsure about my sexuality. I completely got over that years ago.

 

[Kitsuragi]

i'm not sensitive to other peoples emotions if that makes sense, but i can very easily be tipped off. one thing can either send me into a 10 minute rant, a huge fit of anger for a long while, or just a shut down of sadness/isolation. exhausting!

 

[Yoshi155]

I get sensitive sometimes when I get yelled at.

 

[Ravenkitty22]

Definitely. I tend to respond to stress, hurt, and most negative emotions by crying. I’ve been told I’m “too sensitive” in the past so I try to hide it now, but sometimes it’s hard to control my emotions.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

So sensitive that I will dwell on it for years.. and years.. I wish I really could just not care what other people think and be able to let things like that go

 

[Seastar]

Um... Perhaps a bit extremely. If someone gets mad irl it can ruin my day and if possible I will go back to my room and stay away.
Online I try my best to stay away from toxic spaces because that'll ruin my day too. Things can still go wrong and sometimes it's my fault (getting upset when I feel embarrassed over nothing) but it's not too often that happens.
Also while thinking about this I'm realizing I might be a bit too judgemental of people who insult others about being sensitive. I still remember something that happened on a Pokemon site a couple years ago and I wish I could just forget it.

 

[Aniko]

No I'm used to that, my parents yelled at me all the time, then I worked for customer service where people yelled at me all day long.
I'm usually not sensitive at criticism or negativity but sometimes I lose patience and yell too

I thought it was just me.

 

[Roxxy]

I used to be when I was younger. Then things happen and you see that the little things are just not important. There are very few people in life whose opinions matter to me.
