I'm 34.

All through my life I've heard people say I'm too sensitive. And it hurts like hell as I'm just being me.

It's mainly men who have said this.

My older brother always says it, my dad, some old colleagues and now today boyfriend.

My family usually say it if I get upset by their teasing. They think if they saying something funny or in a joke way about my appearance or my life in general and I get annoyed or upset, I'm too sensitive and need to 'man up'

My boyfriend said today he didn't want to go somewhere as her already been there and he thought it was boring. He said it in such a cold way too, I got upset as I'd never been and wanted to go (it was just a nature walk)

We ended up having a row and he said I'm too sensitive, he doesn't know how to act around me and is now scared he'll say something in the wrong way and upset me. Is said hes now treading on egg shells.

I was so upset by this but as I'm 'too sensitive' I choked back my years behind my sunglasses and just accepted what he said. I was actually too afraid to cry in front of him
We've had silly arguments in the past but this was a big thing he said. I've never actually felt so emotionally distant from him

Yes, I AM sensitive. That's just me. Is that a bad thing? I never thought so but I'm now starting to wonder.

I have no idea what to do with my own head.

I'm really upset but now I can't express this to anyone
