Sometimes I wonder if I'm overly sensitive or it's just because I'm a 14-year-old girl. It seems like every time someone makes a comment even slightly mean to me, tears start forming behind my eyes. Everything that's even remotely sad hurts my soul! And, I don't understand why. lol. Sometimes, I feel like everyone's scapegoat. I feel like people think, 'Oh Rachel's so nice and sweet, she won't mind if I let my anger out on her. She'll understand.' And, I don't understand. I just feel like people use me as an emotional punching bag. It's not like I'm weak or anything, I'm just sensitive to other's feelings. And I guess people take that as a ticket to be mean to me.
Its a teenage thing once you leave school you don't give a shit lol {ok I didn't give a shit when I was in school but I'm weird }
Empathy's like money; If people have less of it than you do they'll act like you owe them yours. Giving empathy to assholes is like giving $$$ to an alcoholic; he might look like he needs it but you can never give him enough and he's just going to waste what you give him. Save some for yourself and people that won't abuse it.
being sensitive is deffinitly not a bad thing. im exttreamly sensive too. i ant even watch violent movies any mnore but thats just becsaue its a lot harder for me to be desensitized then many other people. You basicly at your natureal state and all the crap that is in society today messes around with everyone eles. its so obvious you just havto open your eyes and see it.
It can be bothersome... not really in an emotional sense to me. It's moreso bothersome. I really can think for myself without an artificial half-assed work environment at school and I really don't need one in my life in general either. So I'd rather opt to experience all environments or stay within my own... total opposites, I know, but often opposites can be moreso alike in some situations.
I'm like that a lot too, when I'm in an arguement lots of the times I'll start crying. I cry when I see certain ads (like for those orphan-saving groups on TV and Humane Society stuff). Just find people who accept and embrace sensitivity, it usually means you are very empathetic and creative
I don't mean I haven't done that either. Last time that happened was a couple weeks ago during a special on aids in Africa. I've come to realize it's not what's given to them, it's how much you can give while focusing on how it is given.
i dont know.. im still like that a lot. i dont think it's a bad thing but for me... it didnt just go away... i had to force it away. because the more you show the world that you get upset, the more they act like asses. just a warning. but in MY opinion (which doesnt mean much in the world), i think it's a good thing.
sympathy... empathy... it's wether you put a meaning to it all or not for without soul, feeling, and definition, there is nothing as without two, it ceases to exist... of course, some things people just have faith in but they don't always think it or speak it... such as soul... nobody has ever seen this soul we speak of... but we think it's there... just as we think Allah or God may exist... we know Buddha existed... but he did not want to be known as a "god" as he spoke of himself as a teacher... I think he was a Siddhartha that's all that matters right? We can call anybody a god but if there's no meaning about what they gave forth, it won't matter either way. It's the same thing. It's what you put towards the person and how you reflect on things that they said... teachings... teachings. Of course, some view don't view them as teachings. I once bought a statue of Buddha and someone became very offended... Sometimes shit only has to make sense to yourself, and in other times, it makes sense to others... and it's all based on what you believe. You can only tie together so much when you have billions of minds... sometimes great minds think oppositely, opposites sometimes attract, and often are different... I feel like a complete dumbass after I type this kind of stuff but I like getting it out of my mind and into words... I feel as if I'm in a very strange mood tonight, but no moods or moments can ever be relived, only replicated... and this may make sense or not, I think it's quite random, but why is Finding Nemo blasting off to my 3 O'clock... I've never seen the movie... I've never seen many movies. I left my book that I just bought the other day ago... at my friend's house. ergh... oh well. I need to get to the post office likeeeeee... tomorrow?
