Look at this picture, what did you see?
A black dot? Yeah, there is. But did you see anything else? How about the white background?
I used to be a very sensitive person. The worse thing is, I always think negatively. When I saw someone doing something, I might think about the reason he/she did that in a negative way, where that person might just did that without so much reason. You get what I mean? Sorry that my english is too weak, you might not be able to understand what I mean.. Guess I'll just use an example. Somewhere when I was in secondary school, one of my close friend who's not in the same class with me, said something sarcastic once he knew that I got lousy results in exam. It was just an "Wah! Your results' so good!" Then he behaved as normal after that. I thought he got good results and laughed at me for mine. Since that day, I watched at his every action and assumed that he has changed and like to make fun of me. I thought he changed and starting to avoid him. Finally, we became like strangers, those who won't even smile when we meet each other. Few years after that, one of his classmate passed me his school report card. He thought our friendship were as cose as before and asked me to pass this to him. Anyway, I agreed to do so. When I was at home, I became a "ke poh chi" and had a glance on his report card. Surprisingly, his results were not well in that few years, including that time when he laughed me. Then I realised that it was just a joke, where we always do that to each other when we were very close. Then I started to recall things that he did. What I thought negatively were all his jokes, and I didn't realise he did many things to help me and care for me by that time. I just saw his dot out of the white background..
Since that time, I've changed my thoughts. Yes, I'm still being very sensitive. But however, when I saw something now, I might think negatively first, then I'd remind myself to think it at another point of view, let's say " Or...maybe it's just because of another reason?"
Everyone out there, please do recall and check youself whether is it you are sensitive? Someone who's sensitive will never know bout him/herself till something happened. Yes, we can be sensitive, but try don't just think negatively, think from various point of views. If not, you might be suffering and exhausted. You would complain for everything and always felt hopeless, or think that everything are going not well.. You might lost your friends, even best friends, although it won't last forever. And you might make people lost a good friend like you, isn't it sorrowful?
