Sorry, one of my trigger points... {deep breath}
You probably already know this, but -- you're as sensitive as you are sensitive. Who is it who's set this standard of what is "too sensitive?" And how dare he or she set that standard and expect anyone to pay any attention?
That's one of my "do as I say, not as I do" soapboxes, though. I suppress my emotions a lot, because my first reaction to nearly any strong emotion is fear taht I'm being "too sensitive." It's not a fun way to live, and I hope you don't live here, too. (Which isn't because I don't like you, of course...)
Anyway, I hope you don't like in TooSensitiveVille, too, but it sounds as though you know just about how valid that phrase is anyway.
And I think Daisy's offered some good advice, too, about stating limits and holding on to them. Even if it means you have to follow her example, which I hope you don't. (I figure you wouldn't be posting this thread if you didn't have reasons for wanting to stay. Those reasons are likely valid, too.)
Hope this post doesn't seem to weird. I just wanted to scold about Too Sensitive. If I pounce on it when others say it, maybe I'll learn to do itfor myself, too...
