For someone who may be referred to as a "sensitive person," you probably have grown used to people saying "you get hurt too easily" or "stop taking things too hard." You hear it so much where it ironically doesn't bother you so much anymore because you have grown used to it, but it can be annoying sometimes.

For long-time friends and relatives, it probably turns into a game for them to be careful how they approach you, or simply rolls their eyes whenever you say you're hurt.

As someone who may be classified as "sensitive," I have something to say about this problem:

The problem with sensitive people is making it seem like it's a problem to begin with.

Sensitive people are simply people with a bigger heart than the average person. Yes, we get hurt more often, probably take things closer to heart, but who are you to roll your eyes or get mad about? That does not make things better, in fact, the negative attitude just makes things worse.

Yes, we probably get hurt more often, but do you know how it feels to be having the best day of your life, only to have it crashing down by a small snarky comment? It lingers in your head and repeats over and over and over again. And as much as you try to ignore that comment, it grows louder in your head until you find yourself overthinking the possibility that maybe the person hates you and doesn't want to affiliate with you in any way.

In a matter of minutes, what would have seemed like a happy day is now filled with worry and overthinking.

We can't help ourselves, it's the way we were born and raised.

I'm not saying that WE MUST be treated with respect 24/7 and always be cautious of our feelings, but simply stating that everyone, in general, should take more consideration into the words they say and how it affects others.

I know the argument, "Well how are sensitive people going to learn if we always have to treat them nicely?" We all go through personal experiences, we are all let down at points in our lives, it's just a matter of how we changed and what we let affect us over time. People are people, so what if we feel things a bit closer to heart?

And to the people who are always called a "crybaby" or "sensitive."

Being called "sensitive" is not and should not be a bad thing. We, as a society, gave it a bad connotation.

As a matter of fact, I believe that sensitive people have an advantage compared to everyone else. We tend to enjoy music and movies more, feeling the emotions of music and the personalities of film characters.

Sensitive people also make better artists. We have a way of expressing our deep feelings through words, sounds, and movement. Do you really think successful artists like Adele, Frank Ocean, or Ed Sheeran would have created such powerful and moving music without using their deep emotions?

Being sensitive should not be a problem. We simply feel a little more, and that is a God-given gift we should be thankful for.
