how do i get over being sensitive

One of my many weaknesses is that I get down on myself with some of the things said to me by others. Doesn't matter if we are best friends or i barely know the person. It will get to me and ruin my day if i let it. How do i go about not giving a truck? Most normal men do but yet i find myself constantly hindered by the nonsense that others say. How do i tell them to go truck themselves AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT.

Imma answer my own question. Its like everything else, you just have to make your way through life with it and there ain't a pill in the world to solve your problems. Plz prove me wrong.

I'm also a guy who is sensitive. I have been my whole life. sometimes I will feel bad when someone says something about someone else that applies to me as well too. To help me cope with this, I take control of what I can within myself(namely my conscious thoughts) I notice that I am feeling a negative uncomfortable emotion, and instead of trying to force it to go away I tell myself a truth about the situation which is positive. If you are a good person it should not be hard to do this. What is hard is seeing others look better than you by doing something bad(putting you down). The furthest I would go in engaging in a bickering contest or a match of wits with that person is straight up telling them that what they said was rude and immature. It can be difficult to avoid wanting to say something that makes that person hurt, but trust me, real adults get over that urge to pay someone back. Doing something negative to someone to pay them back is still wrong even if you think they deserve it. Let mean people bump into other mean people and drag each other down. It will happen believe me. Hope that they change. Sometimes this world can be a confusing place. Very influential ppl we see on tv and in school are mean and inconsiderate, and they get away with it. They aren't better than you because they bag on your failures, mistakes and dispositions. And you are not weak because you are sensitive. Revenge is stupid no matter how cool it would be to out douche the douche bag it really isn't that great. Those people will get theirs. Just really focus on feeling what you feel with out coming to the conclusion that you are your feelings. Sometimes I'm really nervous or scared when I look completely fine, and that is because I feel scared rather than identify myself as scared. We live in a world that calls for us to overcome some of our emotions. Don't get frustrated when your sensitivity makes you feel something that won't go away. Just function your best through it. Patience will make it so you can endure until your emotions shift. everything changes

I can understand where you are coming from. I can let myself run with a negative thought or notion and assume the worst. I read a good article about this lately that might help maybe at
