So yeah, the title explains it.

It's just...I can't live like this anymore
It's like I'm made of china
And the world's hands aren't gentle, I know

My dad yelled at me tonight because I was listening to my CD player so I couldn't hear him calling me downstairs, I can't tell you how many bad thoughts seem to run through my head at once. Whenever people yell at me I end up crying 90% of the time. I've always been that way. And yeah, my parents always gave me crap about crying over every little thing.

What sucks is that what is normal to most people is very hurtful to me, and in order to deal with it I have to learn how to cope but considering I don't have very good coping skills it's very hard.

I'm not really looking for advice on this right now, because I know the only thing I can really do is change myself. At this point in my life right now, all of that self-help info and advice about how changing your mindset helps just pisses me off. I've heard it several times too many. But some hugs would be nice.

I assume you are a teen ? Parents calling you while listening to music ?

If I am wrong then stop reading now lol....

My sister is in her thirties and it took till she was way past her hormonal (sp) stage of the grand old age of 22 before she got to grip with her emotions, she used the same words to me once and said 'i feel like a peice of fine china touch me and I break', she really could cry at anything ! So hold on if you are a teen it could be your hormones (sp) playing on you.

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!

I hope that this is something that you might grow out of or just naturally learn to cope with. It sounds like you parents should be a lot more understanding and be willing to work with you to help.
