Is being a softie a bad thing?

[JaxiCats]

I get my feelings hurt really easily, I get emotional and everything. I’ve been like this since I was a baby basically always being called a cry baby. I don’t really like talking to people anymore but I also want to help people. It’s fairly annoying sometimes because then my anxiety acts out. I don’t know if it’s a bad thing since every time someone tries to toughen me up it doesn’t exactly work or if they try to talk to me about something it doesn’t work cuz it feels like criticism which I can’t seem to handle either no matter how much I try to.

most people are sensitive and are emotional. we all just react to things differently, which matters most. stop focusing on whether stuff bothers you, but how you respond to things/people

[JaxiCats]

That’s the thing I don’t have time to cuz my emotions take over. If I think too long before responding I get stressed by it or I get anxious of how they’ll react to my response

i can get stressed by how to respond to people to and sometimes my emotions get in the way too much. it just takes time and practice of getting better at reacting to things. (i don't mean your inner reaction, but how you react verbally to things)

It's ONLY bad if you blame others for your hurt feelings. If you can hurt easily it probably means you're very empathetic as well which is a good thing. But you have to always be cognizant of how sensitive you are and remember, keep reminding yourself, it's not them it's me.

Noooo honey its not! Its okay being emotional and sensitive.. but maybe u can learn to not took things personal and ignore things might hurt u, so u r not get hurt a lot

[JaxiCats]

I feels like I should be able to do that by now tho

[bubblegunnn]

Ofc.. but being senstive and emotional is fine..

I guess I just wish I had a better back bone. Only time I’ve had a back bone is when someone targets my pets and their well being or if I’ve stopped caring about that person entirely

[bubblegunnn]

Second choice.. u know it alreadg

[JaxiCats]

What do you mean?

[bubblegunnn]

U said only time uve had back bone is when uve stopped caring about that person entirely..
U knew its a thing to have a better back bone

[JaxiCats]

Yea it’s just that those people are my family members.

[bubblegunnn]

Wait whattt?

[JaxiCats]

Yea. Not all of them but some of them. In particular my grandma. She’s just getting meaner and meaner and I live with her. We constantly argue over the smallest things

[bubblegunnn]

Omg not the grandma one! Grandma sometimes could be mean tho lmao but trust me, she loves us.. she just being grumpy

[JaxiCats]

No she’s constantly being like this, she doesn’t want our advice on stuff but she wants our money, she gets mad if we tell her she’s wrong, she doesn’t really consider us, we always do something wrong to her even though we try to help.

It can be if it is at the point it is affecting your mental health because every little thing upsets you

[QuietVerbena]
