Too sensitive...

Did someone say something that might have hurt your feelings? Do you feel like your efforts are not appreciated by everyone around you? We can sometimes feel let down or hurt by other people, harsh words or negativity. It's easy to take a comment personal or interpret someones lack of compassion as a direct affect of your presence.

Again, put the bell jar on. We are coming into the time of family gatherings and situations where tension can be high, old grudges are revealed and stress can cause people to lash out at you. You hear the phrase "don't take it personal," or "you're too sensitive" which isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you take things personal or are too sensitive, then good for you. The world needs more sensitivity and a care for how actions might affect others. I caution you to remain sensitive, to take it personal but to not let it ruin who you are. It's more about other people and what they are going through and not about you.

Show your sensitive side, feel it, take it personally and let your puppy remind you it's not about you...
