if you have ever been called over sensitive, know a couple things..more often than not, they are saying...

1/your truth is uncomfortable for me

2/I have issues processing my emotions, likely from having them dismissed in the past too, probably by a parent figure

this isn& #39;t to say you should allow someone to project on you

but it can help you deal with feelings that can be triggering. stopping a spiral

ive been repeatedly told, manipulated, & abused into modifying my display, thus processing emotions, from birth... & it& #39;s helped a bit

there is also the person who is an abuser

& tbh whether or not their behaviour is a result of trauma etc, it& #39;s still abuse, possibly criminal

its frequent/intense, targeted

also common in many types of relationships, backgrounds etc. a huge issue not really this thread

yet generally, if the trauma/neg experience is in the past, but making you feel youre over sensitive, & prone to attracting comment from self involved ppl, it& #39;s worth...

...
1/trying to recognise the trigger, how it feels
2/speak your truth, call them out firmly, directly

& importantly

3/remember youre not over sensitive, but in touch with yourself, was taught whats perfectly natural is wrong, but youre trying, growing

& thats very powerful

if a person who& #39;s close to you, is being anything from dismissive to abusive, (ie gaslighting) then consider cutting ties if you wish. temp, perm, lay boundaries. however works for YOU

If you& #39;re unsafe, whether from them or your own thoughts, get out/seek help as soon as you can
