Lately, i've been pretty sensitive to rejection, critisizem and harmless jokes.
This guy turned me down, and i started crying, and got really pissed off, but i never cried over rejection before.
and when people tell me that i'm singing off key, or my hair looks bad, or something, i would take it really seriously and stop talking to them for the rest of the day.
And my friends would joke around, and say something stupid i said before (normally my parents), or call me stupid or a bitch, but being playing around, but i take it really bad, and i get mad, and if it's my parents joking around about it, i will start yelling at them.
and i constantly get upset over small, litle things, and yell at my family over it.

Pleeease tell me,
is that normalll?

    I'm not trying to be mean but it's "criticism". I too can be extremely sensitive to criticism. It's normal.

    when you are feeling like you are going to explode or cry or whatever, just focus on your breathing... deep breath in.... deep breath out.... until you dont feel that way anymore. you need to learn to control your feelings so you dont end up being "sensitive" for the rest of your life because that will make your "adult" life extremely hard and you will probably end up flying off the handle in a very bad way. good luck.

    I used to get hella mad over little things. To the point where I would think it over again at night and get angry for a while. It's not good for you. It is better to take things lightly and move on in your life. Anger and sadness aren't worth it in the long run.

    I don't think its normal, I think its unhealthy as you're stressing out an abnormal amount. You really need to take in a deep breath next time and analyze the situation. Little negative things that are said to you shouldn't be taken so offensively. There are way too many cruel people in this world and to get so stressed out over the most trivial things isn't worth it.

    Is it normal? I'm not sure, but I am very similar to you in that regard. Has anyone ever told you that you need to grow thicker skin or learn to let things just roll off you? I really hate it when I'm told to do those things.

    By the way... since when is being sensitive a bad thing? Maybe if humans (as a race) were a bit more sensitive, we would think a bit more about how our actions and words would affect others (and have a bit more empathy) before we act or speak, the world might just be a better place.

    Either that or we would all just keep flying off the handle and be overly dramatic all of the time.

    Best wishes.

    Your sensitivity is completely normal. It's called being a female. As a woman you are more emotional and fragile and are more likely to get upset and cry or get angry and throw a "bitch fit" compared to men. If you are a guy then it's because you're gay.
