| | Why have people became soooo sensitive and emotionally fragile?Page 5 of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) | This thread apparently has lost it's way ... but ... to continue on the current theme ...
if the majority of UK citizens decided to trace their family history they'd discover an immigrant ancestor at some point in their history ... I'm rather excited to discover that one of mine was a Parisian aristocrat who arrived in London as a "dance master" in the 18th century .. ooo la la la !! | |

Blodeuwedd.......My aunt and myself went a bit back in our family history. As well as the Romane, which I knew, we have Native American (red injun for the racists) and my great great great etc grandmother used to own a brothel.....great stuff. We have still to go further back. | |

You have missed the relevant qualifier out of your analysis; you said "on dating sites", not me.
I didn't miss anything, actually.
You asked me:
Perhaps you'd like to point out the part of my post which has led you to ask this ridiculous, and clearly confused question...?
And I answered:
"MSG 75".
If any mentioning of immigration is 'racist', then surely it matters not where that mention was made, whether on a dating site or in a political party's manifesto.
If you're having difficulty understanding your own post (as happens quite often, I notice) then that isn't my problem.
I trust that clears your confusion.
Yes, my parents were immigrants, so what...? I'm certainly not ashamed of that. Quite the contrary actually.
No-one mentioned your parents, actually.
Oh, and what IS contrary to being ashamed of something? Being proud of it? Well, expect some comments on that, because one poster one here once wrote that they cannot be proud of something over which they had no control.
I do hope that person isn't reading this thread.

Back on topic & in answer to the OP, well, it takes all sorts to make a world! Some of us are robust, some of us aren't - I sometimes wish I could brush things off easily but the fact is that's just my personality and life has been a process of developing coping strategies.
"Sensitive" types aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea just as the "happy go lucky" approach won't always "cut the mustard" - how's that for mixed metaphors!
Basically, if you don't find someone's personality attractive, you don't have to date them and I'm sure you'll avoid them as much as possible so not sure why it's a problem really. | |

Wise words hombre.
Whilst some things about some people bother me, I just try my best to avoid people with those kind of traits.
It's like the people who get upset because someone is "shallow" because they don't talk to people they don't find aesthetically pleasing or "rude", because someone chose not to reply to their message.
I don't understand why people would get upset by it, when it's obvious that the person in question just doesn't share the same mentality as they do, so just chalk it up to experience and move on.
The world needs a bit of most of these personality types, and we should just try and pair off with people who've got traits we like and avoid ones, with traits that we dislike. | |

Posted: 10/27/2011 12:34:03 AM | My friends get protective of me it something i seem to switch on in people ,
I think its my nature because im a cuddle monster i dont no .
Ive two opisit sides to my nature one is extreme and dark the other side gentle .
The extreme dark side with serious attatude comes from being bullied young ,
I hate bullys i hate seeing others belittle others and i dont back of .
Its my strength .
Im no way emotionaly fragile but i will not stand back and watch someone try to strip another down lower there selfworth .
I love the uniqueness of people but people forget how special they are get down and get depressed they forget to just be themselfs .
I got lost couldnt find myself after i lost my father it was like a part of me had gone life had lost its fun and sparkle .
god how bad a place that was .
Noone could help me find me i had to do that myself .
My strong willed nature eventully won and space and tears helped ,
But there are people out there who are fragile life keeps hitting them down .
some kind words and a little empathy can help them .
Just smileing at a stranger can change there entire day .
Emotionaly fragile im not im as strong as an ox but showing someone you care can just help the fragile live a little .. We are on this earth for a good time not a long time
I just so love people and finding out what makes them tick ,
I do just chat to anyone i was in manchester last week sirsuperkev was showing me around sees two police officers there uniforms were not the norm .
I asks kev is that how your policemen dress he said not normaly .
So i went up to them quizzing and said scottish police dont dress like that .
They just laughed but at least i made them smile .... 
People can at times in there lifes be emotionally fragile just treat them with some tlc ..
I cannot stand agression some folks cant win with there mouths so resort to violence no need ever | |

Posted: 10/27/2011 12:48:29 AM | I dont know if people have 'become' this way. You either are or you arent, some people are more sensitive than others and surely that's how its been from the beginning of time. Certainly from the beginning of my life. I tend to be a worrier and worry about things that may never happen. I was like it as a child and not much has changed. Other people can let things go over the top of their heads and not become concerned until it actually happens. I would love to be like that.
Im sensitive about issues that are close to my heart and Im sure that must be the same for everyone. | |

Yeah, this is probably true. Perhaps all this social media and online forums are just bringing us more into contact with each other than we had been previously and made us more aware of each other. | |

Posted: 3/23/2012 10:59:41 PM | I believe there's always going to be those that are overly sensitive
and will grow a thicker skin as they get older.
What they could probably do with to speed up the procedure and de-sensitise themselves to the situation is to get a job dealing with the General Public!
If that doesn't sicken their pig and shock the $hit out of them nothing will.
By the time they've finished 8 hours of Torture they won't have the energy to blog about
eating breakfast or staring at the ceiling! | |

Posted: 3/24/2012 1:36:42 AM | Looking at the OP I took it that they meant on another person being informed of lack of/no interest from someone that is clearly interested in you...or perhaps my interpretation is wrong?
We all know that life is a choice...blah blah
On the odd occassions I am out I tend to get approached by women a lot younger than me, and since I draw the line at dating anyone not 35+ I find that women under this age are decidedly pushy. As far as I'm concerned I'm having a conversation with no romantic/lecherous intent, so when it ends and I say "it was lovely meeting you" some are genuinely shocked that I don't want their number :(
What happened to just having a conversation for the sake of it? But am guessing that's what we get living in these opportunistic/instant times where everyone seems to have an uber sensitive ego 
Just leave the ego at the door! | |

Posted: 3/24/2012 2:28:17 AM | Unless you come from a stable background,with a loving and stable support network.IE family, freinds, sexual relationships,co workers.Your childhood was a complete joy,and you was encouraged to grow as a confidant person,then you can say why are you so sensitive.
But sadly this is not the case in 99999.9% of human relationships.
Folks just hide it well..we all have an ego..it is our mask,the bigger the ego the more damaged our wellbeing is...the more you are hiding your true self..Every single one of us has been thru pain..
What did you do with your pain....Sadly most of us harbour it,and chuck it at someone else. | |

Posted: 3/24/2012 2:31:56 AM | I can be oversensitive sometimes and laid back other times. Sometimes things touch a nerve. I work with vulnerable adults and so get a fair bit of abuse but can take that as I distance myself by being in the professional role.
On the forums I am quite opinionated and used to people not agreeing with me. I enjoy a debate what I don't like is when it gets personal. I've been called a liar and a moron and that hurt my feelings like it would if it were in real life. Also I find people being so rude about fat people offensive. People seem to almost delight in telling the world they don't like fat people. I feel some people almost wear it as a badge of honour. I get that we don't all fancy the same people I just don't understand why people have to be so rude about it. I also get people shouting stuff from cars. So if I'm oversensitive on this issue it's because i get it all the time. | |

Posted: 3/24/2012 3:05:44 AM | Its not necessarily an ego thing. No one deserves to be abused in the street for how they look. Ive had people shout out of cars at me calling me a fat cow and it always seems like the person saying it is either not a skinny minnie themselves or has a face like a well spanked arse.
Some folks really need to get a reality check or a mirror. I don't think people being sensitive is a new thing but as has already been suggested, more people post online and there are always sections of people who tend to get a hard time, so if you fall into one of those hard time categories you might feel it.
On the other hand on days where you dont give a feck my response would be I can lose weight off my arse, you are stuck with that face. | |
