Do you obsess over simple remarks? Or do you take things at face value?

I think I am to sensitive at times. But I think I have come a long way, compared to how I use to be. But I'm trying hard to learn how to take things at face value.

At times I can let stuff just roll of my back no problem. Then there are times where I will let things bother me. And in those cases I will usually do something to attack back, if I feel you are trying to say something to hurt my feelings. Some people try to be what I call, nasty on the sly ! They will make little snide remarks ... and yes I'm sensitive to those to.

Since being in this house I have only been bothered by one thing someone said. But other then that I think I'm doing pretty good in here. And beside everyone in here have been pretty nice ... so far.

And what was that one thing, ML?

Best way not to be bothered is to figure out what was really meant... I'm sure no one wanted to bother you!

Not in the least. I take every situation at face value and from the source it's coming from. Living in a large urban area, there are so many people around chatting and commenting, you (well at least I have) tend to tune out a lot of what people say. I take what people I care about say to me to heart, but from people I don't know, I couldn't care less. There are other things in my life I would rather spend my energies on than worrying about what other people think about me. Life's short, no ulcers here.

Sometimes, I think those who say that "they couldn't care less" about what other's think have some sort of mechanism inside them that subconsciously clicks itself on. It says, "I've been hurt" even though they may not want to show that. Yes, the power of that switch is only as great as the strength of the relationships you build, but it is still a switch that is inevitably flipped.

Am I getting too obscure here?


Am I sensitive or insensitive? It depends on which side of the spectrum you are looking from. What is being projected out? I believe too much insensitivity can eventually wear down an individual inside. Either you feel ashamed and make a change or you don't and stay exactly the same. That's called a "sanity switch".

Most people who say they couldn't care less really couldn't care more... they tell people they couldn't care less so that those people won't hurt them, because it's not worth it if these people don't care...

(yeah yeah take your own advice Spammy)

How do you conclude who cares and who doesn't? How are they supposed to react if you don't care yourself? Why should they care if you don't?

These are the ambiguous questions we should all ask ourselves.
