Is it better to be sensitive and know how to be sensitive with others but get hurt a lot or to develop a thick skin and know how to have things just roll off instead of hurt you, but maybe not be as good at handling sensitive situations?
What a poorly written, run-on sentence.
I'm really tired right now. I've always thought it was good that I was sensitive. I thought it showed me what would hurt other people so I could not do that....or helped me talk to sensitive people easier. Sometimes I'm not sensitive with people though.
I'm sick of getting hurt. I take things personally and maybe sometimes I shouldn't. I get angry at people sometimes for a long time and don't even tell them...so maybe they don't know. Probably they don't know. I have a hard time forgiving but I am capable of it. It just takes me longer then the average person. I've given up on people before and then changed my mind later.
I feel like I don't have a choice either way. I can't make myself not sensitive. I thought moving to NYC would somehow give me a thicker skin or teach me how to just take people's shit and not care. It didn't work. I still take things personally. I still care what people think. I still get hurt.
On another not-so-depressing note: I saw Children of Men recently and thought it was pretty cool. The way they filmed some of the scenes was kind of neat. I also saw Grindhouse which I thought was great. Truly entertaining. It's pretty amazing.
I also made up with an old friend and spent some time with her. I'm glad things are alright again.
