I am extremely sensitive to criticism. I work in the adult industry on the internet and because of this I am constantly being called a ***** (Which I am not in real life, maybe I portray it on the interwebs) but in real life I have always been a serial monogamist. Any time anyone says anything bad about me I have an anxiety attack that not even alprazolam can help and I usually cry and it ruins my whole night and I just end up sleeping for 15+ hours. Is there any advice any can give to me as to not be as sensitive to other people's criticism... as I know it obviously routes from my low self esteem.

Hello & Welcome, ZennZ! I am aware the concept of "highly sensitive" persons/individuals has gained some currency in psychological circles. I personally may qualify as an "HSP".
Google search on "highly sensitive person"

While I don't think working in the "Adult Industry" is necessarally a bad thing, but it seems to be causing you distress, have you thought about a carrere change?

Hi there ZennZ--wow--you are working in an environment that'll hurt you big time, as you are so sensitive to these insults---have you been doing it long?
I ask, because when I first began work as a nurse, Everything was a shock to my system--death, adult feces, etc etc., and it took about a year before i developed a sick sense of humor- a "callus" way of handling the job. You gotta, if you have any empathy, compassion, or sensitivity at all--you'll notice it in really on the ball nurses- they are flippant about alot of stuff that seems very serious and upsetting to the ordinary "joe"--they have to be to safeguard their own minds and hearts. If you can't develop such a way of handling this job- I agree with Mike--try for another career? if possible? ((((ZennZ)))))-theo |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
