We all have unique personalities and loved ones are who we expect to love and accept us as we are - not criticize us. Being a sensitive person has its advantages and I’m positive the people who criticize you benefit from you being a sensitive person. So it’s selfish and mean, in my opinion, to criticize people for who they are. In my case it’s not being sensitive that I’ve experienced criticism over, it’s being organized and efficient. There are people who will take advantage of me being an organizer and planner and then turn around and criticize me when me being that way - just being me... doesn’t suit them. I suspect it’s the same with your sensitivity and that’s what makes it especially hurtful. Luckily my hubby doesn’t do this - he’s good at accepting me as I am - but I’ve experienced people who do and it’s hurtful. So I know how you feel. Don’t be hard on yourself for who you are and don’t let others be hard on you either. Make sure the people you generously share your sensitive self with appreciate you. ❤️
