Is emotional oversensitivity a symptom of any particular mental illness? Help me!
Question:
Answers:
If you're suggesting that you might be mentally ill because you are emtionally sensitive, then NO, emotional oversensitivity is not a symptom of any particular mental illness.
However, there are ways of overcoming your oversensitivity. Basically, you need to learn how to stop taking things so personally. You might have to discover on your own personal journey what it is that keeps you taking things so personally, but this is usually the cause of oversensitivity. A good way to find out about yourself is to ask others who care about you, to provide input on how they experience you and how you relate to them. But be prepared for their honesty. You may find that people perceive you as "fragile" at the same time when you think you're behaving as a strong person. You need these outside perspective to help you grow. As you become of your own behavior, you'll make your own decisions on which behaviors to modify or mature and which ones are just part of who you are as a person. For example, if someone tells you your laugh is terribly loud, it doesn't mean you have to change your laugh, perhaps you're just a loud laugher. But if someone tells you that you're quick to defend your position, even when you're wrong, then you might consider why it's so hard for you to be wrong and why you're so committed to being right, even when you're wrong.
Treat your sensitivity as a personal journey that you must understand. Just like someone with a learning disability improves their study skills. I'm an over-talker, as you can see, so I work on trimming my talk to my exact points so I don't bore people.
On that note, adios and good luck in your honest pursuit. Many over-sensitive people are blind to their painful and victimized struggle.
