well, I guess that's my point. I'm "type A" (although I think it's a really outdated personality gauge), but I'm anything BUT hypersensitive. However, I am really driven and have problems slowing down, as Canders mentioned.

My husband, on the other hand, is type B, but definitely hypersensitive.

But back to your friend... I know what you mean about feeling like you have to walk on eggshells, and how exhausting it is. My best advice is to STOP DOING IT. You will wear yourself out. If your friend gets POed at you or you find yourself apologizing way more than you think you should in a friendship, it may be a sign that she's not the kind of friend you really want.

Life is too short to invest too much time in people that are difficult to get along with.
