Why Doesn't Being Less Sensitive Work?

I am guessing that you have encountered situations where people say offensive things to you, and when you object, they respond by saying you are being too sensitive. This scenario is rather common, and if it sounds familiar, keep reading.

Instead of trying to be less sensitive, the solution lies in being more assertive. Tell people that what they are saying is offensive and explain why. Consistency and persistence are key. Over time, with practice, you will gain enough confidence to present your viewpoint with authority, and people will start taking you seriously. Many describe this process as defending your boundaries.

The Dangers of Oversensitivity in a Cruel World

The world is becoming increasingly cruel, and the innocence of children is not spared. It is not about needing to be less sensitive or more; instead, it's about finding a balance. Today, the luxury of being overly sensitive does not exist. The rest of the world does not accommodate such individuals. They ridicule you, make fun of you, or tear down your confidence, encouraging you to be a fighter...

It is crucial to be true to yourself and enjoy life. However, it is equally important to learn to not excessively express your emotions. Engage in activities that support animals and the needy, but avoid getting stuck in their grief. Striking this balance is a great test of whether you are handling your sensitivity effectively.

Self-Defense and Assertiveness: A Path to Personal Empowerment

I don’t know you, but I am committed to training myself to stand firm in my identity and avoid exploitation due to my emotional vulnerability. People often exploit others when they try to be sensitive in general. If you are sensitive towards people who are also sensitive and reciprocal in nature, you avoid being taken advantage of. Recognize if someone sees you as weak, they will disrespect or worse, take advantage of you.

It's time to stand up and find your power within. Be assertive, be self-defensive, and revel in your journey towards self-empowerment. There is no shame in being sensitive, but there is strength in knowing how to assert yourself and protect your emotions.

Remember, it is a challenging and painful process, but it is the only way to ensure you are empowered in a world that does not always accommodate those who are overly sensitive. Take the first step today and start advocating for yourself. You deserve to live a life that is true to who you are.
