I don't think it is so strange. Sounds fairly OK to me. You do not know why you are sensitive; it may be that something happened that triggered it off, or it may be you are built that way! It has its disadvantages -- and its advantages -- like most things.

Hugs to Kaika.

<font color="purple">My sensitivity can be a bit bothersome sometimes. People just don't really understand (alot of times I don't either), pretty much everyone in real life who has seen these kinds of reactions over seemingly little things have told me that I need to grow up, need to be tougher... and I've tried, but it's so hard. Too hard. It's like asking the grass to grow purple instead of green. </font>

I love being told that.

No, I don't.

Hi Kaika, I have recovered from anxiety and understand what you are saying. What would happen with your parents when you didn't follow the rules? I have had to get over the fear of confrontation. What I realized is that I wasn't so much afraid of the situation at hand but that the situation was triggering my fears from the past. What I did was stop and tell myself that this situation isn't what is scaring me so much but that it is just triggering past feelings. I would look at the current situation and tell myself that there really isn't so much here to trigger such a response. I would do this every time and each time my triggered feelings would get less and less until they just stopped being triggered completely. Basically, I guess, I just left these feelings where they belonged - in the past. I couldn't even tell you where the feelings actually came from, they were just all stored there ready for release!
