Sensitivity Options

[Aria]

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you're being too sensitive about some things? Is there anything that sets you off about it, or is it random? For me, late nights seem to have something to do with it. Either that or winter, since I seem to be overreacting or not reacting to anything lately. It's weird. I can't figure out why I'm doing it, either.

Anyhow. I'm being sort of random, I suppose, but hey, maybe someone sympathizes with me. Or can tell me how I can stop over reacting. Or something. Heh.

All the winter darkness sometimes make me overly sensitive and tearful - oh, what an awful girly thing to admit to!!

Alcohol makes me really sensitive to other peoples throw-away remarks too so if I'm with people that I don't feel terribly comfortable with I try not to drink too much - which is tricky cos if I'm with people that make me feel awkward I want to drink more!!

But on the whole I think I just am very sensitive to other people and I often worry myself endlessly about whether someone likes me or not or what I may or may not have done to offend someone!! I'm just a ball of paranioa!!

I get really sensitive when I'm in one of my low-self esteem moody periods. The slightest things could cause a flood of tears.

With me it has to do with a number of things. But the main reason i think, has to do with the fact that i am very withdrawn when it comes to people, i have had my fair share of hurt so when something is said or done without any bad intentions i tend to over react because i assume that they are trying to hurt me in some way, if that makes sense?
(Well thats the main reason anyway)
Plus i am just overly sensitive and paranoid, so that doesnt help!

I'm just overly sensitive altogether. If someone says something remotely insulting or puts me down, whatever... I will think about it and analyze it for days, trying to figure out what was really meant by it. I am waaay too paranoid.

Also alcohol makes me sensitive. Its becoming a regular occurrence now that when I drink, I just start crying. It happened again last weekend, except I have no idea why I was crying? My life was going pretty well, unfortunately it is falling apart again now (bound to happen soon). But I honestly have no reason for crying, other than the fact I was waaay too drunk, vomitting and falling over everywhere.

I think maybe I was embarrassed about everyone seeing me not even able to get up off the bathroom floor at a nightclub, for which felt like a very long time.

Yeh, I think thats enough to make me cry, but usually i'm uber-sensitive to crying within a 10 mile radius of living beings.

I'm just too sensitive!

same as enslaved, i'm just too paranoid...and i'm too sensitive to other people's emotions, if i've hurt someone i might as well have hurt myself
and it's cause of winter, because it reflects the bad stuff you feel, and it makes things worse...just hang in till late spring, and we'll all be happier without realising it

[talking to faeri...]

I'm way too sensitive as well. Just the other day I was crying over absolutely nothing, but that's me. I have exactly the same problem as enslaved and the lil' pie fairy. But it's weird, some days I'll over analyze the smallest thing said to me and then other days I'll let them fly completely over my head..tis weird!

Perhaps we should all get together, scream random names at each other for days on end until we are no longer sensitive to criticism.

Perhaps we will all be in therapy for the rest of our lives.

I get overly sensitive to stuff I hear some girls say, but only if I really like them. I've lost sleep because of overheard comments before, which sort of makes it worse because I get more and more off the map without any sleep.

Apart from that, I'm ok about stuff. When I'm drinking I'm not at all sensitive to criticism, quite the opposite really.

i think me my sensitiviness is somewhat gone. only time im touchy is when a personal subject is brought up my someone i love and care about (and this excludes family because i could give two shites what they say really). but i dont get teary when something hurts, that is said, i get real mean, and hateful, so i end up distancing myself so i dont act upon it. other then that im quite roll off the shoulder, laid back gal. like "oh well, screw you, lets go have a drink"

I'm really sensitive... I could be just ... xx; seeing smog from cars polluting the air and I almost cry...

T-T;;

...Many people get over sensitive because of some type of insecurity. Or maybe bad relationships/familyBS,..or some other problem. If you're able to stop dwelling on negative issues,.....sensitive emotions will be more under control.


..Oh yeah..........I get sensitive when I cut onions.=^.^=
