Make a list. Do one thing at a time and tick them off. You will be surprised how quickly they get ticked off. Once you concentrate on one at a time and stop worrying. Better to do most of them than worry and do known.

you don't. it's natural.\n\nor, on the other hand, you could try and be sensible, and just block it out from your mind. or you can just change your attitude from i'm-mister-super-caring-all about  what-people-think-of-me to i-dont-give-crap-and-i'm-gonna act- as-though nothing's-bothering-me.\n\ngot it?  now that's how you gotta stop carin about wat otha ppl tink of ya. alrightty?

Too Sensitive, How to Toughen Up?\nEnjoy your sensitivity, not everybody is sensitive. It can, however, be hurtful in a less sensitive world.\n\nThere is a way to tolerate this world: Not to take anything personally. \n\nWhat people throw out and at others is mainly an expression of their own problems. You may want to tell yourself, "This is this person's problem, I am not taking on his/her mood, nastiness etc., nor do I react to it the same way."\n\nYou may want to try to smile, forgive and turn away, and release those from your life who are too insensitive, if you can.\n\nSome people however, need some drastic feed back, after polite and gentle approaches have failed.\n\nExample 1: A male student would always make some nasty remarks to a female student, when standing in line at the cafeteria, which embarrassed her. She was not used to such language. She planned an answer. One day, she finally said very loud to him, "This can only come from a boy with a low IQ as yours is." He obviously felt embarrassed to hear this from a girl in front of all the other students waiting in line. Amazingly, this was the remedy for him, he never bothered her again.\n\nExample 2: Another boy would enter late in the lecture hall at the university. When he detected where a certain girl was sitting, he would walk up to her and in passing squeeze her cheek. She was too shy to protest aloud and interrupt the lecture, but she planned a response. One day she came in later then he used to be, and walked up to him and whole heartedly squeezed his cheek. He left the girl alone after this.\n\nIf you are too sensitive to noise, Hypericum Perforatum works wonders. That's how you may like to take it: Place 2-4 pills (on milk sugar base only) in 1 ounce of purified water. Take a drop under your tongue very often, until the sensitivity gats less. Then take it less and less often, but at least 5 times a day to keep up the effect in the daily wear and tear. Non-addictive, nontoxic. Make fresh every day, make less if less is needed.\n\nI feel that it is most important in life, not to take things personally. And to "love your neighbor as yourself"(Bible) that is, we should not harbor resentment, but should let go and be free. Be you!\n\nEnjoy your sensitivity, you may want to use it to tune into the finer worlds and experiences, may be through meditation. You may be able to learn to sense ahead, find lost items or help others long distance. That's what sensitive people can become good at. It is all energy, and energy travels fast and everywhere we send it! \nMay you enjoy your sensitivity!\n\nCordially, India.Magica

You know how after a child has a temper tantrum they feel nothing (numb). Do that. Let out your anger and then you wont feel anything bad when its all out. Try running as fast and as long as possible. That'll get you tired.

Try to make the best out of a situation you know is not going to be pleasant. Your the better person. However, don't take any shit either, stand up for yourself if it should get out of control.\nWish you a "Happy Thanksgiving Day".\nGod bless

I took "Sensitivity training" and learned that feeling sensitive towards your enemy is best worded like this,"The best way to pacify your enemy with sensitivity is a clean, quick kill". I apply that yet today with words, not bullets, and find words are much more damaging. Get into their minds and their asses will follow. Try it sometime. I mean that in a good way.

Slow down and don't say the first thing that pops into your head.  Think before you speak and think before you act.  Learn about and talk about serious matters.

Tough one.  These scenarios usually become an issue over time, so a quick fix is usually not the best.  Aggressive individuals usually prey on others that allow "bullying" tactics.  As the aggressor sees the weakness, they get comfortable treating the person like that over time and expect a certain response.\n\nIf you want to curtail the behaviour, start standing up in a non-offensive manner and tell him why you can't stay late or work weekends or whatever.  Make excuses, even lie if you have to. Just make it difficult for him to expect the unreasonable.

stick up for yourself assretivly, tell them you arent stupid, you dont appreciate the insination or accusation that you are and you would prefer if they never said that to you again. dont be mean, dont yell, be calm and say what you feel, then dont back down or feel guilty for it.

Some tips: \n1) When you feel the anger rising inside you... close your eyes (or don't) and breathe in deeply for 5 seconds... hold for 5 seconds... and push out slowly and completely, for 5 seconds.\n\n2) Drink a big glass of cold water; literally cool off... this works.\n\n3) Lay down... it's very difficult to maintain the fight or flight response lying down.\n\nConsider starting a routine each evening before bed where you sit quietly in your room, or lay quietly, with soft music or none, breathe slowly in and out 5 in, hold 5, out 5, and relax each body part one at a time, flex and relax... and visualize that part of yourself you are unhappy with, your temper, disconnecting from your body and head and filling a big red balloon... then let it float high away from you... see it explode, and all the anger just evaporate into the atmosphere.  This is just one of many ways to meditate and release...\n\nAlso consider an Anger Management work shop...
