How to stop being sensitive?

[Hideous]

I feel like I always take every little thing to heart and it's ruining my relationships with people. I guess it's my past that makes me this sensitive. How do I toughen up?

I can't really say. I kind of became insensitive to everything when puberty started.
I guess it's different for everyone. Sorry i'm sure there's someone with bettter advice out here /:

All I can say is "oops"...only people who've seen our PM's will understand :P Your not a pussy dude.
I don't really think theres any way of becomming less sensetive, all you can really do is hide your sensetivity. I used to be SUPER sensetive, but years of bullying in preschool and high school pounded that out of me, now I have skin as tough as iron, but thats not really a conveniant solution.

I have the same sort of problem, even with things that have nothing to do with any fault of mine, I blame myself. Nearly every adult I talk to says I need to have thicker skin, but it's hard, I can't change, so I surround my soft inside with an abrasive outside, meaning that when I get insults hurled at me, I hurl insults right back.

Guilty! I do the same thing, differance is I don't care what people call me, my skins to thick, I'm just to big headed to let it go :P

When someonne insults me a bad part of me takes over and insults them way below the belt, usualy very harsh things and mean (but pretty fitting usualy, i must sadly say), and afterwards I regret it.

I just get dark, I say the most disturbed and discusting thing I can think of in retort, it usually tends to shock people into submission because they don't know how to react to something so violent. Works for me, but gains you ememys very quickly, I HIGHLY recommend against it. I never regret it, I can't change it, so why regret it? But I do wish I could say sorry to the person (bit having my ego I never do)

I'm just trying to picture that, but every time I try I just think of you pushing so hard it comes out the back of his head and kills him....my minds in a dark mood tonight...

Sometimes people feel insecure about themselves, so they use their verbal abuse on others to make them feel better. People are gonna have opinions and there are some things you can't change. You can only hope they see their bigotry and try to change. Just get some thick skin and don't worry about them. You know who you are, nobody is perfect and become a better person from it.

Things happen. Some good and some not so good. Life moves on and so must you. It is all small stuff.
