Being sensitive is not a choice, at least not for me. I don't "wallow in my own emotions," because I am too busy trying to tolerate them, taking meds..to modulate them or doing whatever to just become numb. Emotional dysregulation /sensitivity is a curse, at least for me. I agree that it hinders me, as in my social anxiety, and I would do anything to not be this way.

This post is meant to be factual in regard to my own experience, it is not a result of my sensitivity about being sensitive.
