And I know it.
It's hard to not take things people say as personal. I am very soft on the inside- and in many ways, broken.
Has anyone else battled this? Because it seems to tick off and drive people away- I don't mean to be this way, but after a while you become battle damaged.
I was always easy to pick on. It's like a target that glows.
Now, even when I am not being picked on, or when I am, I turn as prickly and unhappy as possible.
How do you change that? How do you stop yourself from assuming the worst, how do you blow it off?
How do you become a bit insensitive? Learn to take things constructively rather than negatively? How do you learn to throw away the junk jerks throw at you without allowing it to affect you?
Surely I am not the only one- but boy, sometimes I feel like it. I am sick to death of people telling me they can't tell me things because of the way I react.
