Taking Things Relatively – Being Oversensitive (184)

Being Oversensitive

It is quite strange because on the other hand we can be at other times indifferent to the remarks and actions of others and only suffer very slightly if anything at all.

Being Sensitive – Is it Good?

Being sensitive in relation to others can be good, that is to be quick on the uptake to when somebody is getting upset or angry or disagrees with something, that has been said, gives us the chance to direct the outcome in such a way that it will be favourable for both. On the other hand being  sensitive towards ourselves can be terrible, because any small detail can worry us, anger us or even depress us. So, in general it is better to be sensitive to others and insensitive where it comes to ourselves.

Conclusion

When we are sensitive there is something in our background. There is a belief or an issue there. The issue could be that we are not loved or treated with respect, or it could be someone that we love is not treated well by others. We in short have to find that issue and then work intensely on it. The posts that follow after this one I hope will be of some use to you. The following posts address some of the issues that can result in us being oversensitive.
