Is it bad to be insensitive?
OF COURSE it's bad to be insensitive!!!! And being OVERLY sensitive is just as bad!!!! There should be balance, and if anything I'd say a little more insensitivity than sensitivity (like 60:40) is better than the other way around. But you shouldn't be one and not the other because it is very unattractive.
I'm too sensitive for this insensitive world?
You speak of your sensitivity like it is a bad thing. It is what makes you unique. Do you really want to be like the wooden heads that are completely insensitive? You don't improve things by becoming a part of the chaotic nonsense. You improve things by learning to ignore the stupidity and realizing that the nonsense does not define nor describe you in any way. Remember, the hurtful things that people do and say speak volumes about them and say nothing about the person who is the perceived target of the ignorance. These people are simply confused. Does it really mater what the confused think or do? Love and blessings Don

How to be less sensitive? Bad to be a sensitive guy?
There is nothing wrong with being a sensitive guy. It is easier for a sensitive person to be less affected and still be in tuned and considerate of others than for an insensitive lug-head to become sensitive and empathetic to others. Sensitivity is a good trait AND it can be a strength, but how you express it and deal with the emotions that it surely exposes you to are what makes it good or bad. When you take things to heart, ponder it and put it in perspective to the more urgent and important things in life. Ask yourself if it really is that big a deal. If so, do something about it. If not, do something to take your mind off it. The good news for you is that girls look to sensitive guys for long term relationships because it indicates the guy can empathize with them and that the guy is more likely make a good life partner.
How can I be less emotional and sensitive?
Resign yourself. Practice acceptance and perspective. Accept that life is hard and the world is a tough place to be. Understand that no matter how bad things are for you, things are much worse for someone else. Become stronger. Be kind, patient, and compassionate under all circumstances. Know that you will endure no matter how hard life can be. Then you will die and it will all be over. So there is no point in being upset at anything. Just remind yourself of all that whenever you start to get upset. It will take practice but you will get better at it. One day you will exude calm and peace. You will look back at who you once were - emotional, sensitive, defensive, chaotic, and you will laugh at how self-centered you were.That is how it worked out for me. I was very emotionally unstable, and very sensitive to my pain and the pain of others. I endured a tremendous amount of trial and difficulty as a young person. In order to get through it, I had to accept that things are not going the way I want them to go. But no matter how bad things got, I could keep it together by remembering that things could be worse. And things could very well get worse. I was not being punished. I was just a person living in the world. Now I see that all my sadness was because I considered myself too important. The universe existed forever before me and will continue after I am gone. I will die. Everyone who knew me will die. I will be forgotten and everyone I know will be forgotten. I am really nothing. Nothing bad that happens to me means anything at all. This is reality. It sounds dark, but once you accept it, existence becomes easy.
Which is worse? being insensitive or overly sensitive?
when i was a kid, I would help my dad do outside work.........and If i did something wrong and I was confused he would say I could not do ****....... whenever I would ask him a question and It seemed stupid or obvious...... he would roll his eyes and say DUH like I was an imbecile It would always make me cry and even when I turned thirteen it still hurt me..... My father was never any easy person to talk to because he would get so impatient. Many times if my mom would butt in his buisness and make comebacks (unintentionally) he would say SHUT UP and say that she was no good.but he has never laid a hand on me or my mother.... it's just that his words would really hurt me.... to this day I get upset. Was I being too sensitive or is he too insensitive? when I was younger people would get annoyed and call me stupid because I cried by almost any insult. (but only by people I knew). who is worse? the people that like to see others down and like to agitate for there own satisfaction, or the people who take insults too personal and can be annoying because of it??? thanks for all the help, lainey p
Why is SWEET worse than heat/cold on my sensitive teeth?
I understand why extreme temperatures like hot or cold can bother sensitive teeth, but I don't understand why sweet foods touching a tooth can cause sensitivity? For example, a Hershey bar isn't hot or cold -- it's just an inert piece of chocolate. So why do I get a sharp painful feeling when 1 or 2 of my molars chew the chocolate? :( For the record, my dentist checked the area in question. There are no cracks in those teeth & no decay in their fillings -- he looked with his eyes PLUS took x-rays to be certain. He said the teeth are probably just sensitive due to my nighttime bruxism (tooth clenching and/or grinding), or perhaps also because I used to use a somewhat abrasive whitening toothpaste. (I now use Sensodyne and it's definitely helping those teeth as well as ALL my teeth!) :) What I don't understand is why SWEET causes me more pain on the affected molars than cold or hot? What does sweet do that temperature does not? (rhyme not intentional! *grin*)
