How sensitive are you?

[Violet Witch]

I used to be really sensitive as a child but as I've gotten older I've grown a bit more of a backbone and can shrug things off more easily.

I cry and overthink so much! If I were in a crying competition, I bet I would get first place. LOL. When I was a kid, I used to cry almost daily at everything, so I'm at least a bit better now than before.

Yeah, I hate when someone raises their voice at me...confrontation in general really scares and makes me avoidant. ; ;

Super sensitive! I cry often. Mad, sad, angry, happy. I also tend to dwell on things too. I get told often I’m “too sensitive” but I hate that. I’m just me and that’s emotional

If I had to judge myself, I would say I'm very sensitive, but I don't consider it a negative personality trait! I over-think and worry a lot, and can feel emotional/cry a lot (both positive and negative emotion). It is what it is.

I said that I'm a little sensitive before in this thread, but it's really more like barely sensitive. Hardly anything offends me anymore.

I'm unfortunately a lil too sensitive for my liking.

I can be pretty sensitive, but I think I was more of that when I was younger. I'm also one of those HSP.

i’m extremely sensitive, to the point that it’s honestly ridiculous. it has never taken much to hurt my feelings or have me questioning the point of my existence. someone talking over me or not listening to me when i’m talking, someone not being excited about doing something with me, an “if you want to” when i ask someone if they want me to tag along with them somewhere, someone acknowledging everyone’s posts in a thread except for mine, etc. i would be here all day if i tried to list everything that hurts my feelings, even if the thing isn’t done intentionally.

i’ve always been hyper-aware of people’s tones, energies, the way they word things when speaking to me etc, and the slightest indication that they’re upset, poking fun at me, or just not happy will have me spiralling and thinking there’s something wrong with me, even if it has nothing to do with me at all. i take everything personally. i know how ridiculous and wrong my sensitivity can be, so i tend to keep my mouth shut when my feelings get hurt. i never know when i actually have a right to be upset or when i’m being too sensitive, plus i just don’t have the energy to be invalidated or fight with anyone anymore, so it’s easier to just internalize everything. it hurts, but it keeps the peace, i guess.

my sensitivity extends to how i talk to and treat other people as well. i’m very conscious of how i say things and what i do, because the last thing i want to do is accidentally upset someone else. it’s a little silly since i think i overthink it too much, but i’d rather overthink than not think enough and end up hurting someone with my words/actions unintentionally.
