I am also overly sensitive. I have a lot of trouble not letting what someone says really hurt me. I used to wait until I was alone and actually cry about it. I would feel like no body could understand me and the whole world was out to hurt. People didn't care what they said to me or how much it hurt me. I would always read between the lines and that really got me in trouble. I have done this for as long as I can remember so yes I would say I was born with it.
I have started to learn not to read between the lines it is hard and no matter what I still want to do it. I try to take things at face value and realize that with some people it is just the way they are. They don't know any other way to say things they are not out to hurt me. The others I try to ignore by thinking of something else. Sometimes I just think of what I would like to say to that person. I would like to tell them they shouldn't say something to hurt other people I am doing better with it, but it does take time.
