"Dr Phil puts it this way -- he said that when you've been hurt, it's as though you have a sensitive spot. Like when you've been burned, and the spot is always sensitive afterwards."-Ohlostme

My mother used to accuse me of being oversensitive; like it is a surprise after the way I was raised! I no longer expect myself to grow out of it or be "therapied" ot of all of it; I am trying to learn to live with it in a productive manner.
