I too am sensitive (read touchy) about numerous aspects of my life. The remarks that I hear from people are so senseless — some ask me to ‘grow up’, some tell me to ‘grow a pair’ and some think I’m overdramatic.

What if I’m sensitive? It is who I’m and I will not put an effort to filter out my real self.

Your post reinforced my desire to be the real me! Thank you.
