Is it better to be sensitive and know how to be sensitive with others but get hurt a lot or to develop a thick skin and know how to have things just roll off instead of hurt you, but maybe not be as good at handling sensitive situations

My answer? Find a balance. i went the way of getting too tough of a skin and I paid for it for years.

I say.. be sensitive.. and.. i dunno. it is different for everyone. Hard as nails just does not work.

Thanks for your thoughts.

i havent found a balence yet. i was over sensitive for many years, and worried what everyone thought of me and all that jazz. after i snapped again, something inside me changed. now i dont care quite as much about what people think about me, but the not caring often goes too far. i feel dead inside more often than not. it excites me, and when my rational thought kicks in, it scares me too. i am both afraid and excited that one day i may just go off and perform whatever action of retribution my impulses are telling me to do.
but then again, i am not the most adjusted person around.

Sometimes I think it's good to do what your impulses tell you to do.
I think we'll both be okay.

Sometimes you have to tell people how you feel, regardless of how it might hurt them. I told off my mom and grandmother each, and our relationship is better than ever because they stop pissing me off. People can't fix what they're doing wrong if they don't know. Someone who truly cares about you will understand.

I think the person that did this doesn't care that much. I thought they cared but I doubt it now. I told them how hurtful I thought it was and how much I was offended and they pretty much denied a lot of things when it was very clear they were trying to be hurtful. I've decided they're not really worth it.
