writes:Dear cupidHow do you overcome or at least manage being quite emotionally sensitive? I find every comment people make that could be interpreted badly plays on my mind for days afterwards. I even find relatively fickle things such as being deleted by someone off facebook etc quite hurtful. Even though I know logically its not important.I have thought previously that it was more about confidence etc but I have worked on that with counselling etc and feel pretty happy in my own skin... And can semi logically deal with negative issues but even though I can make sense of situations like this.For instance, not every negative comment is negative if it could be interpreted either way. Even if it is negative it isn't always a reflection on me and I tell myself this.... I still find myself taking things personally a lot.Can anyone help?

Its only someone elses way of trying to destabilize you, but being thickskinned can take a bit of practice.For example if some one loudly tells you you smell..you can just say..yep im realhot and sticky rightnow..i'll probably take a shower when iget back.Or go further down the pathway and say "hold on while i see if i can find you a gas mask! But maybe bpeinga sensitive soul you should justavoid people who make clumsy remarks.

 I don't have a solution for you but I would look into two things: (1) rumination and how to cope with it and (2) research supplements or get help from a homeopathic doctor for appropriate ones for your condition. I'm assuming that you are healthy individual with normal hormonal balance. Finally, look through this book "Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain" where perhaps you may find something useful for what you are seeking.
