i have a very sensitive and easily hurt nature and I can't tell if this is the real me or if its something wrong with me, i just can't seem to stop feeling hurt by other peoples' comments - i think it boils down to an intense need for reassurance, it has its root in family life where my brother was always cricitising me, he just never stopped and it really got to me, i don't have any more contact with him because of this problem, i like myself having a sensitive nature but it causes me such anxiety as i don't work because of how i react to other peoples' comments
