I Am A Sensitive Person And Feel Things Very Deeply

I used to get annoyed when people used to say to me that I'm sensitive.
Like as if it's a flaw, like it's wrong to feel things.
But I'm not sensitive. I realise that I'm just sick of people making these curt comments and thinking it's ok.
When someone disrespects you, you don't just lie there and take it, you snap back.
But the moment I go to do so, it's "you're so sensitive" ," you're such a baby" ," I'm just joking" .

No you have no manners, are insecure and don't respect yourself, which is why you cannot find something constructive or positive to say.

I am emotionally in tune and now fully understand what you are doing.
Own it or accept that I cannot continue to have you in my life.

Why can't people just be nice.

Sensitivity is a gift 🎁

@Driver2 thank you x
I just think I'm not of this time, my peers are so cold because our need to survive has only been heightened simply because people have allowed consumerism to drive the economy into a unbelievable premium.
Life will never be the same again. As our government makes everything wrong with the world another source of revenue.
People like myself have to protect that 'gift'.

Well I can be very sensitive. I don't see it as a flaw at all, some of us just care deeply. 🤗💕💜

@Peaches people need to care more

@Peppa They [i][b]do! 😏[/b][/i]
I could've written this word for word😂. It's so true...I don't know why or when being a real life 'savage' became something to aspire to.

I think people take that term to heart more than they realize.

They speak crudely to their 'friends', have no regard for the relationships of others and just go around behaving impulsively as if they've managed to shut off their brain.

I'll be glad if civility, common courtesy and decency make a comeback.

I used to think NBC's "The More You Know" PSAs were corny until I realized how they're sorely needed.

@AnonymouslyYours people started being savage when the "when you got it, flaunt it" motto came about.
Having an attitude was considered to be a black thing, but the "urban" culture took it on and made it into something different.
Black people used to reserve attitude for discrimination, now it's an everyday thing.(popular culture)

Very recently I had a major and unfair roasting at work. Then at the end, I was told by this power hungry twat that I shouldn’t take it personally. What sort of crap is that? You get dismantled, go home feeling like you’re worthless, and you’re not to take that personally? What planet do these idiots come from???

@Silverwings In my career, I’ve found that most of my superiors have been like that. Managers have got agendas (usually personal & financially based) and are incentivised by similarly-minded people higher up the food chain. Between them, they’re able to take control over people’s lives using the “Laslow
Hierarchy of Needs” principle, which most corporations train to their managers. It’s essentially a form of modern slavery.
As a result, I don’t believe any of the corporate claptrap like “core values”, I’m not interested in what some detatched God-like CEO has got to say, and I’ve been turned from a conscientious integrity driven hard worker into a zombie. Job done. Keep those ants in line.

@Oneofthestormboys I am sorry!!
@Oneofthestormboys

Yes.

I believe you mean "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs"--which has come under a lot of fire but is nonetheless pushed by management training...

Cave people often can't comprehend empaths.
Or empathy. 💙

I agree. And I think the internet has made some people even more callous than they would be otherwise. Often, people do not feel connected with the consequences of the words they express online.

I consider myself to be a sensitive person too. Back in the 1960's, that was considered a positive thing. There were even "sensitivity training" workshops. The emphasis was on becoming more sensitive to other people's feelings.

@Peppa 🤣
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@Valentine uhhh....yes you are ranting! 😂 But rants from you are pleasant rants. 🙂. Unlike most internet rants. 🙁

Wait a minute! Am I now ranting about rants? 🤔

At any rate, yes I do know that you are my age, as I remember your posts regarding your family. I knew you were musical, but I did not remember that you wrote poetry. Cool!

As long as the sensitivity isn’t over the top, there is nothing wrong with being sensitive and thinking of others. We need more kind, thoughtful, sensitive people in the world.

I think you may be what some people call an empath these days.

I can relate to this on so many levels.
texasdaddydom · 51-55, M
society at large and even more so on the web seems to value a sharp with and even sharper tongue. Kindness is underrated especially that is more than superficial.
Silverwings · 61-69, F
They are unhappy and want the same for everyone else, but guess what there is more of us than of them!!
Valentine · M
Yayyyyy!!! Weem on the same page. I used to be so sensitive. Now I am sensitively comfortable in my own skin. Or put another way, I don’t give a feck any more what other peeps think. Apart from close friends, who watch my back. 🤗
Peppa · 31-35, F
@Valentine umm if you know anything of me I always gave. But because others couldn't it didn't want to do the same they started being really nasty.
As the years have gone on, I realise their attachment to me was purely based upon whatever I was offering them. When they got enough of it to move on off they went.
Valentine · M
@Peppa You’ve met the wrong peeps? Keep looking x
Peppa · 31-35, F
@Valentine I think the problem is life is that much harder now. Whilst we've been given the platform to see others doing or at least appearing to be doing well.

When you're hungry you know what it's like to be in the gutter, you don't want to stay there.
The erosion of even simple standards of politeness has not been helped by our American President, which most here find rather unfortunate.
@Silverwings And how has Trump helped the level of discourse? Even people of his own party have alluded to his appalling tweets, and he routinely uses language not befitting the office of the POTUS.

@SomeMichGuy He is a little rough around the edges, but my money is on him any day of the week.I will not be caught throwing the first stone.
@Silverwings A LITTLE "rough around the edges"? His mentor was Roy Cohn, who was a lawyer for the McCarthy cmte & who said that he enjoyed destroying people, which explains a lot about a guy who says the most flattering things about a person, grows weary of him/her, then says horrible things about the same person.

He is the least prepared for the position he holds, not even being successful in business except in selling himself.

How many people would take their car to a mechanic who had only had a ride in a car, but claimed to know everything about them? Or hire a contractor who had no training other than having been in and near houses?

What do you mean by "your money is on him"? Is it because he has over $400 million coming due in the next 4 years from various loans which he can't service and you are making a cash donation?

How is it that a guy who lies at least twice as other recent American Presidents (as tracked by the Toronto Star through early June 2019, complete with context and repeat count), won't go after people who have put out a bounty on American soldiers, and can't unconditionally condemn right-wing extremists be allowed to continue to kill Americans through his miandling of CoVid response, etc., and destroy our international reputation...?

The world would be a better place if everyone could just get along and be nice to each other
