I could say "Thanks" on each and every remark on this.

I'm sensitive, thin skinned, an over thinker.....all of the above. Stressful to say the least. And like wolfsong I'm easily read. I don't think this makes me weak but I often wish my "brick wall" was made of more than tissue paper

I think for me...an over-reaction to today's hurt comes from yesterday's pain.
