Do you have anyone particular in mind?

What you say is truth. I can be a tad sensitive. Now I am an old dog, so it is better. I have learned not to get too upset, but things people say still can hurt.

Our parents tell us, "Sticks and stones can break your bones but names will never hurt you."

It's a nice thing to tell a little kid, but it's not true. Words hurt.

And while people like me can be too sensitive, I've also come to recognize that I can sometimes be too blunt and hurt someone without meaning to do it. So I also work hard to try to say things in a way that respects the other person's feelings. I don't always succeed, but I do care about this.

What about you?
