"Too sensitive"

"Too sensitive," a term I hear a lot, heres what I think about it, "Too sensitive" means many things, for one, that you are touching a subject that someone does not want to discuss, or is uncomfortable with, or sometimes, it means that you are being too sensitive but it's because you are aware of something that everyone else doesn't know,

or because it is about something that is close to you and others don't know it, or because someone doesn't want to start a argument, but the real truth of it is, theres no such thing as "Too sensitive," only that sometimes, people do not chose to share all the information they have at the time and so because of the misunderstanding they are labeled as "Too sensitive" and because of this some people don't ever really get to know whats really going on, because if they were to know about what was all going on before assuming that then the problem wouldn't exist, but unfortunately most people just don't get the chance, or care to in some situations,

so they call you "Too sensitive" you retract taking all the unknown information with you, no one understands what happened and because you are no longer in the mood to discuss what is going on it is also assumed that they are correct, and now you won't defend it, you'll let it set there till either you let it go and forget, until the next time, and sometimes, you stand up and say why you feel the way you do the first time, sometimes people say 'ok,' and they really get it, and sometimes to them it just proves what they had been saying, so really it depends on how much trust they have in you and how well you know them that would allow them to hear and understand the first time,

also, not just assuming things helps, after all most of the time you never really know whats going on until someone finds the bravery to tell you, and they never will if all they will get is a slap on the back, "Just rub some dirt in it and it will be fine." things like that create voids, and if left they will grow wider, and it will get harder and harder to reach that person without a bridge.

  1. There is such a thing as being "to sensive" to words... Such as, you can hear a couple words that bother you, and instead of saying what you think, you simply sit there fuming or being offended. When really, the person may have not even ment it how it sounded. Sometimes we must take the time to ask them about what they said, not be 'to sensitive' to talk to them about it.
