It makes sense to me. I've been in a similar place. Some people are just more sensitive than others for one reason or another. This asymmetry is problematic, because for them it is something "normal" to act the way they do, but for you it is not. The important thing is how to deal with it. You cannot change people. For me, I am still figuring it out. But so far, I've tried to avoid unnecessary contact with people, which I don't recommend, because you'll end up with total isolation as everything will probably upset you. For me it became a part of my personality. But I am trying to change it because I feel I am missing something in life, even though I am comfortable with myself most of the time.

The following statement, taken from a talk to Dr. Brené Brown about the power of vulnerability, shocked me. It is worth considering it.
