Dear "Too Sensitive"

You are not what people say you are. Sensitivity is not a fault that has haunted you through life but it is in fact not a comment on you at all! Being too Sensitive is a label that other people give you when they have said something upsetting, and in order for them not to feel bad about hurting your feelings they blame you. They tell you that it's your own fault that the offensive/ hurtful thing they said isn't hurtful at all and you're just "overreacting". But let me assure you, this is not the case.

Those people that have labeled you, who have put you into this box are nothing more than insecure. If you have ever been offended by something that a friend has said, whether it was sexist, homophobic, slut shaming, body shaming, etc... It is not your fault for being offended! YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO YOUR OWN FEELINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's just the thing we has humans need to understand. Everyone comes from a different life experience. We have all walked our own paths of life and have different anxiety inducers that not everyone has. I have my own life experiences that have made me uncomfortable with certain situations, and language.... That doesn't mean that I am a baby, or that I am too sensitive to how the world is. I HAVE LIVED IN THIS WORLD... I think I got it. Everyone has a right to like and dislike certain things. Instead of being mean, or blame one another about our quarks why can't we be united by accepting our differences?

You are not being too sensitive, or a baby, you are being a person. A human person with feelings, and those feelings should be respected. Not made fun of. Don't let those who disrespect your beliefs, morals or personal feelings by blaming you for having those feelings! That is an unfair way for those people to get away with the they bull shit that they are saying! You are not too sensitive you are a person. And more people need to understand that words hurt. They don't know you, they don't know your life experience, and if they are a real friend to you then they will apologize instead of making you feel worse about yourself to make themselves feel justified.

Don't let those people get away with belittling your rightful feelings. Accept that you have a right to your reactions, and never let someone else make you ashamed of them.

Sincerely

A Human Person With Justified Feelings
