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.

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.

@DrWatson Hello my friend 🤗. As you may recall, I do write the occasional poem. Indeed, I have just had one of my poems (One Soul) selected for inclusion in an anthology. Proud bunny, my first publishing!!

Anyway, I don’t post my age here, as it can be an unnecessary divider, but I am of your age, lol. And, nearing retirement, at work, I say it as I think. Sack me if you like. Oooo, the freedom is medicinal, therapeutic, pure. Dammit, I was a consultant for 13 years. I didn’t sustain all those years without often being right.

Am I ranting?

Lol.

@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!
