Yeah I've always been called "too sensitive" especially by my mother and schoolteachers, random acquaintances. I agree that there isn't such a thing as "too sensitive" and I don't think its fair to say that about someone else, just like you wouldn't say "too tall" or "too black." I think this sort of comment is just pointless, I mean are you supposed to suddenly become LESS sensitive? It is exactly as someone suggested earlier- a bully comment to shift the blame. But what I want to know is this: what do you say/do in a situation like this- they made tactless remark, you commented that it was insensitive, they said "you're just too sensitive!!" ?
