I often told that I am too sensitive?

I am told that I am too sensitive and it sucks because I don’t feel like people understand me and I don't know what to do.

I've been told this a lot and felt just like you. I felt misunderstood and like there was something wrong with me.

Being sensitive is not a bad thing nor a weakness. You shouldn't feel bad about it. ''You are too sensitive'' is usually coming from someone less sensitive than you and is often used to gaslight you or dismiss your feelings, so don't take it to heart.

So what am I supposed to do when it’s my partner

I’ve been told this in the past too, but I don’t think being sensitive is a bad thing. You care & feel deeply and that’s good!

So what am I supposed to do when it’s my partner that is telling me this.

I’ve been told this by my partner too. You should try to explain that is who you are, it’s not something you can change, and that you’re glad you actually have feelings and he shouldn’t be telling you to change who you are

[kay1315]

That is actually how I feel. And I try to tell him that.

If you're told that often by multiple people then chances are that you probably are, tbh.

If tend to believe If you find yourself to be the constant variable in something like that with different people then it must be a "you" thing rather than a "them" thing

I think everybody has their different triggers that they're sensitive about. Maybe those individuals who mock your sensitivity do so because they don't relate to your feelings about a specific topic.

Stop begin so sensitive, then...

Joking aside, you need to get better friends if you're not getting the best out your current friends group

People often gaslight you for being sensitive. The ones who understand those emotions are the ones building connections with. There's nothing wrong with being sensitive. :)

[Sour-rose]

Well they might not understand you, but it ain't their job too. And I don't know ya life but if you TRY to make them understand... they might but not care as much as you think
