Anyone extremely sensitive?!


Question: I am one of those people who is extremely sensitive. I used to cry at the drop of a hat when I was very young but then I toughened up a bit in my teenage years and now early 20's. But I realize that I am still very sensitive. I find myself feeling very bad for things that I may not have done wrong or for minor wrong doings. It's like a big burden that needs to be resolved. And if I have an argument with someone, it takes me an extremely long time to get over it and move on. Does anyone else experience this kind of sensitivity and if so, what have you done to cope?

im like you at times i find it hard because being so emotional makes you more aware of other people but also expect more. The way i deal with things is trying to rationalise things to myself and learn to need less from people without neglecting the fact that i am emotional accept it and build on from there

I am that way (except for the crying alot part - but I do cry at sad movies). I hate that I also feel everyone elses pain (maybe that's why I come here?). I even feel the pain of people in news events. I have found no way to cope. I actually just avoid things that I think may effect me. I don't go to sad movies, I avoide the news sometimes, and I avoid conflict.

Oh my goodness yes! I cry at everything. The way I cope with it is to try to no worry and care so much about EVERYTHING. Everything make me cry so I try not to care about it. I just learn to trust more and not be so personally offended about things. It is really hard to do, but it will happen eventually.

I am like this too. I often will start crying for little, tiny things that wouldn't phase anyone else. While I am at work and that's when I HAVE to stop and think of something else. So you know what I do? You just have to think about positive things. Think about what's good around you at that moment you are shaken up. I think about the future, and tell myself this one little bump won't kill me, and that there will be a million better things for one bad thing.

Keep your head up!

GilmoreGirls1 - being sensitive is not a problem. It just means you have strong feelings. If you try not to feel so much (like you said you toughened up a bit), it has the effect of making you more sensitive.

Please know, Emotions are ENERGIES IN MOTION in our bodies. Every time you don't allow yourself or you aren't allowed to fully experience an emotion, to feel it, and to move through it, the energy of that emotion becomes stopped and blocked in your body. It remains blocked until you go back and re-experience that emotion. Then the energetic block is freed and cleared. Virtually all of our physical ailments come from energetic blocks in our bodies, energetic patterns that are connected to our emotional patterns

One good way to release ANY emotion quickly and painlessly is by using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Emotional Tapping. In EFT you apply gentle acupressure tapping to specific body points to release emotions. EFT is easy to learn (you can learn the basics in 15-30 minutes). You can use EFT anytime, anywhere for any emotional or physical issue. One basic round of EFT takes about one minute to complete.

Please download the FREE EFT Instructional manual from the EFT website (www.emofree.com). Also, please watch the FREE Introductory video.

There is another EFT website, Tapping.com, where you can get immediate help for your issues while learning EFT by just tapping along to one of their 14 FREE instructional videos (including Stress Relief and Self Acceptance).
