I find it depends on my mood how sensitive I am to remarks of slight of others. When I'm depressed it is easier for me to blow things up out of proportion. I have to work really hard to look at things from the other persons eyes to see if it is really something I need to take personally, because sometimes there will be a reason someone might say something but not mean it to be negative. I think using Cognitive Base thinking helps out in these situations when my thinking is distorted causing me to take things personally.
