Greetings, fellow Steemians!
Some people tend to be over-sensitive in their social affairs, to the point of easily getting irritated by everything personal that others have to say about them.
Over-sensitivity can be a devastating character flaw, to the point of compromising your relationships and jeopardizing your opportunities. If you get irritated by even the most insignificant occurrences, if you exaggerate everything other people say about you or look to find a negative meaning in every expression, then these are signs that you are over-sensitive.
Your irritability will eventually lead to your friends being irritated by your mentality, since they constantly have to be careful not to say something that would hurt your feelings or make you sad or angry. It can also lead to loss of tranquility and happiness, as it gives your mind an excuse to constantly look for things that make you unhappy.
If you have such tendencies as the ones listed above, then you need to know that you are not alone and that you CAN actually do something about your over-sensitivity. In this blog posts, I am going to list some approaches that can help you fight back against your constant need for emotional satisfaction through your irrational idealism.
Perhaps the first step towards fighting back irritability is resisting the idea of taking everything personally. People who are over-sensitive tend to think that the whole world is out to get them. This belief is irrational on all levels of sensibility, as it promotes a fallacious and shrouded worldview of hatred and doubt.
We may come to meet a lot of people who can hurt us, but that does not mean that everyone is inclined to do so in random words and acts of cruelty and spitefulness.
Over-sensitivity is usually a strain of irrational thought. If you begin to really think with your logic and sensible arguments, you begin to realize that your problem may be a lack of deeper thought. But how can you utilize your logic?
Talk to yourself. The next time you come to the realization that you may be over-sensitive, try to talk to yourself and think with logical arguments about your situation. Why are you so sensitive? Why should you become miserable because of something that other people say?
How much value do you put on their statements, and how well-founded are they?
These are all the questions that you need to immediately ask yourself. Do not focus on your misery, focus on finding a solution and trying to get rid of it once and for all.
Now this may be a tough one, but in order to beat over-sensitivity, you sometimes need to put yourself in the other person’s shoes. If they hurt you, try to see everything from their perspective.
That way you might begin to realize that things were not as serious or upsetting as you thought they were. You may even be able to analyze their critique and invalidate their statements.
A lot of people tend to get upset when their beliefs and values are threatened. It is as if they see their identity and existence purely as the amalgamation of their values and beliefs, and when the opposite of such values and beliefs are stated, they feel that their identity is in danger of being discredited or wronged.
What these people need to understand is that they are so much more than the sum of their beliefs. Their identity and existence are not reliant on beliefs, for these ideas and values are constantly changing and expanding, opening up new horizons for us as they evolve.
Without independent thought, it is easy to accept what everyone wants you to think. If you suppress your power of thought in this manner, you will fall into the pit of depression and irritability, all the while losing your grip on the balance of your life.
From now on, try fight your over-sensitivity with thought, logic and sensibility.
A BIG HUG!
