Kaika, I have a daughter who is very sensitive. I am sorry that your parents give you crap over it. I try to help my daughter deal with it. It is the way she is. She can't change and neither can you. My daughter also cries when people yell. I tell her that nothing bad is going to happen because someone yelled. She is getting stronger.
Last week her sister yelled at her (9 years old) and she screamed back at her (she is 7). I sat there and watched and didn't say a thing. (I have never heard her scream so loud or so full of anger in my life). It scared the crap out of the 9 year old and she started crying. I told the 9 year old that the 7 yr old needed to do that so that she could feel powerful for once. The 7 yr old came over to me and said "Mom, that felt really good to yell at her". I told her "good for you". She said "I want to do it more" I said "well, I don't think so...." I haven't heard the 9 year old yell at her since! This was last week. The 7 year old has been carrying herself a little higher since. Good for her!
