I like forums but I end up really getting hurt too frequently. I admit that I'm on here due to a sensitivity disorder and I am hyper-sensitive. I would like to work on that and trying to afford counseling.
Hi Joe,

I think your sensitivity is the same thing that's happening to Loutrem. See my response there:

I also think that when people feel good inside, they really rarely say hurtful things. If someone is saying hurtful things, they are often being hurt a lot themselves. Jerks are often also very sensitive to insults as well.
