I don't know, but I have the same problem.  I think it might have something to do with the superiority complex many white people seem to have, even if they don't realize they do.  Not challenging makes you normal, challenging makes you "too sensitive" since the discrimination of others based on religion, color, gender, sexuality etc is "not your fight."  That's what it seems like to me anyway.  One thing I know for sure though is that no matter how many people tell me to "stop being so sensitive" I will keep on advocating for rights for all.  I hope you do too!

You ask good questions. I've writen in a diary off and on for two decades now, and still I feel inhibited as if some critic will read it and say its not up to pulitzer prize standards or some silly thing like that. I fear not the truth, I fear someone else critisizing MY truth. My raw and vulnerable truth.

If you are prepared, then you have nothing to worry about.  Also, you may be so fearful of making a mistake that you obsess over every little thing.  I have found after almost 30 years of teaching that you just have to be flexible and have a sense of humor.  If things mess up, laugh and go on.  Your audience will appreciate that more than you getting upset.  Once you are prepared, get out, do something else.  Take a walk, visit with friends, swim, watch a movie .... relax your mind.  Take deep breaths.

u need to sit down and think about it.  think of something dat u would do that will calm ur nerves and help u relax.  and if u can do this, w/o expending too much energy.  dats a gift that u have that u can keep doing, and w/ that gift.  that should help u reach contention.  and once ur content, share ur gift to the world!  then u can be happy ;)

I am really sarcastic and sometimes a bit mean to people. I am really going to try and stop that, and try to think before something smart comes out my mouth. I also want to learn how to be more comfortable with my body to please my guy( so I joined the gym last month).

Insufficient firepower =)\n\n\nSeriously though... I'm an expert at procrastinating which can really pose a threat since I work for myself.... "I've got ALL day to worry about that.... hmmm, let's see what's going on in Yahoo! Answers."\n\nThe fortunate flipside is that I work great under pressure, so when it comes down to deadlines I rise to the challenge. \n\nI guess you could say I'm getting where I want to be, but I might be getting there more quickly if I forced myself to be more disciplined. But then again, I believe life is a journey, not a destination... so I may as well have fun along the way! See how well I can rationalize these things?

It is completely natural to think things like this. I am more concerned with why it bothers you so much. And if you are so afraid about acting out your thought, have you had any other thoughts that you have acted out and regretted? If so you need help from someone other than YAHOO.

I do not believe in "Tolerance" . I am truthful in my answers. I'm sometimes too blunt, but usually only when provoked.

I have that problem as well. Well, I don't like to think of it as a "problem," per se, but more of a personality quirk. Just like any other issue, it's something that just has to be worked around.\n\nI started by forcing myself into situations where I knew I would otherwise feel competitive and needing to prove my point. Just as an example, I'm an atheist, but I thought I could broaden my circle of acceptance if I started going to Christian meetings on campus. At first it was a little rough, and I'm surprised they were so welcoming to me every week despite my obvious rejection of their beliefs. But now I'm much more open to religious individuals.\n\nI've yet to learn how to spread this to everything else I feel strongly about, but I've learned this was the best way: forcing myself to "suck it up" until I no longer feel as if I'm going to explode if I don't make some kind of snide remark.\n\nJust don't tell my boyfriend, or he might expect me to be more agreeable with him, too.

it sounds like maybe you have performance anxiety, like maybe you're afraid of doing the work so your body kicks in so you don't have to. this happens to me, too. i think i'm afraid of being judged. is there a counselor you could talk to about this? could be something like ADD, too, or just an inability to concentrate. good luck.

Peoples' silly "sensitivities" are so easily bruised.  \n\nBTW: Your answer about "diving in" was amusing!

well, I think that you think too much on something or you got stress......I suggest you to rest your mind for a couple of days and released your pressure by doing some activities or see someone that were really good handling this case and ask for some proffesional advice,ok!

Because there are some people out there who are simply too sensitive.

I would advise your control tolerance being trained...daily set aside time to discipline your reaction to "things that tickle" over a period of time with moderation... "a little tickle is cute" ( : it is not a bad thing to be sensitive as long as you can control it not to be annoying to you or offensive to others.

Wow, that is a great, great question.\n\nI tend to make inappropriate comments to people I don't know well enough to make them to.  I'm simply trying to think twice (or four times) before saying things.  Or imagine how I would feel if someone said it to me.

Either of your fears can come true, but I believe it is not the question, but the manner you ask it which makes it disagreeable.  I would suggest you to apply this question  to your question--Would it hurt anybody?  If your answer is yes, rephrase the question, and apply my question again.  If you are unsuccessful in rephrasing it appropriately, send the question to me at aseem.kumar@yahoo.co.in, and I will try getting/giving you an answer.\n\nYou might also try putting a disclaimer with an advance apology with your question.\n\nI would encourage you not to keep the question to yourself, but discuss it as appropriately as you can.
