How do I stop being so sensitive?!
Question: Everything I take so personal that it ends up hurting me, crying at home and being mad at myself and others.
At school if I don't do good even if the teacher is expaining to me what people think it's easy, I become so angry at myself for being so dumb. I become tearful if the teacher is being mean about my mistakes, I cry at home.
I took a personality test and it was saying I'm too sensitive and I like people who understand me which is very true.
I just want to stop being sensitive and have a touch skin, how?
It makes me cry when people say that I'm slow, dumb, weak, crazy, weird and retard

Well for one thing, there are many people just like you that are very sensitive. And for women, we go through different changes during the month that make us feel more emotional like the week before you start your period (PMS). And depending on your age, I'm assuming you are a teenager . . . your hormones are changing and very high during this stage in your Life. So you see, there is nothing at all wrong with crying, or being hurt. The problem comes when you direct it towards yourself and HATE yourself for it. Being sensitive in not being WEAK. And you may not be as smart as some people, but believe me . . . you are a lot smarter than you think. I can tell from the way you write that you are an intelligent, and very caring person. You see we are all Blessed with certain abilities or talents. And sometimes it's just hard to find what you are really good at. So you develop interests into things that you like doing and start following a path that'll develop your natural skills, and with that you'll gain the confidence in yourself. Because right now you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself, and stop thinking that all your peers are saying bad things about you. Because even if they are, it doesn't matter. What matters is that this is your LIFE, and your chance to pursue your dreams and learn how to stand tall and be very proud of your accomplishments no matter how small. Remember, that the more you help others out, the more you'll be Blessed in this Life. So SMILE and start showing the inner LIGHT in you, Let yourself SHINE my dear. YOu are one of a kind, and way more sweet and special than you know.
Being sensitive is a double-edged sword...you get hurt easily, but it is a wonderful quality to have as well. For instance, I'd rather have a sensitive nurse if I was in the hospital, than one that wasn't. It is a sign of compassion and intelligence. This cold world needs sensitive people. As you get older, you will get better at managing it...it is especially hard when you are young and in school. If you feel depressed, please talk to someone you can trust.
Go to school drunk.
Thick skin takes time to grow.
NOW SHUT THE HELL UP AND TAKE LIFE LIKE A REAL WOMAN!!!
Being sensitive is a very strong and hard to attain trait. Most spend a lifetime trying to get near it because they never realize it's power until they start to run out of time.
You will toughen in time but don't lose the ability entirely (it takes away the colors and sweet smells of life if you get too tough.)
You need to be pushed to your limits and then exceed them. Think military or marathons, or such.
Inferiority complex.
Short change one self.
Self lack of knowledge.
ATM that reads "Out of service"
Pin it a few times.
Will readout "It does not compute"
Pin again the third time.
The ATM swallow the card.
Why not go and update the ATM at the nearest library.
Pin and pin it just keep whirring.
While standing out there with misery.
With wild imagination running wild that spread like wild fire.
In running one self against the wall.

What do you think?
dont't stop being sensitive, that's what makes you a good person. would you rather be one of the insensitive creeps you see at school? i don't think so. just keep being you and as you grow things will change and you will really like the way you are. things will be better for you tomorrow
it doesn't matter what other remarks people make about you, it doesn't mean they are true. it only means they don't feel good enough about them self and so they knock someone down to make them self feel better. sad, but true for many. once you become comfortable with yourself and learn to like yourself, it won't matter to you what others say because you know it is not the truth about you. you just need to build your self esteem and that will help a lot. look into some empowerment classes maybe.
you need a secret weapon...
have a good meal, go outside, sit under a tree or where ever you like, and write all the positive things about yourself, and be confident about them because you know there true. after your done, fold that piece of paper up, and keep it in your pocket. when ever you feel like your about to cry, or get angry, or any negative emotions, remember your secret weapon, that piece of paper, remember those words, remember the truth in them, remember how good you felt when you wrote them. you will start to feel better, and over time you won't need that piece of paper. trust me, what do you have to lose?
hope this helped :]
Sounds to me you need to work on building your confidence & self-esteem, a counsellor can help you with this. A counsellor can also help you to understand that no-one can upset you, no-one has the power to 'make' you feel anything, you 'feel' because of the way you interpret what other people say about you. You need to understand that you will never have control over what other people think, feel, say or do, you only have control over how you respond to them. Also we will never be liked by everyone we meet, just as you will not like some people you meet. When somebody says or does something, you immediatley react according to what your thoughts are about what's happened. That's why a very confident person can shrug or laugh something off & forget about it when other more sensitive people may begin to cry & some react with anger. It's not about toughening up or ignoring your feelings, it's how you choose to think about the situation. CBT, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can help you to understand that if you change your thoughts about something then you can change the way you feel, which then follows through with your behavior. A combination of this therapy & some self-esteem & confidence building with the help of a counsellor will help you cope better & not react in a negative way. There's nothing wrong with being sensitive, the most sensitive people are most often the nicest of caring people, you need to start focusing on your good points, that's how you begin to develop your self-esteem & then the confidence follows. Good Luck!
