How To Be Less Sensitive
How to Be Less Sensitive: Do you find yourself being overwhelmed by what others say or do? Do you hear people telling you to “stop being so sensitive” and this only makes you feel worse? Why is being highly sensitive a gift (maybe you have not realized this yet) and oh so hard to manage around insensitive people?
Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? Sensitive people make up slightly less than 20% of the population. That means that 80% of the time you are vulnerable to the rest of the people out there. How to be less sensitive requires you to learn to be insensitive when you need to be.
Being sensitive around other sensitive people is one of the most beautiful experiences there can be. Maybe you already have this kind of connection and have discovered there are some people you are around that you don’t need to know how to be less sensitive. The free flow of energy between two sensitives is like the waves of a warm ocean coming in and out on the beach.
So how to be less sensitive 80% of your time all depends on your frame of mind. You have the ability to protect yourself from the insensitive people by operating from your source. Changing perspective to understand that whatever is happening is the other parties story is the key. You have a choice to engage in it or not.
The beauty of being sensitive is that you can develop the abiltiy to freely choose from being sensitive 20% of your time and being protected 80% of your time. Eventually knowing how to be less sensitive will be a thing of the past and you will want to know how your sensitivity can best be expressed in the world.
When you do want to share your sensitivity, make sure you let us all know because the world will be a better place.

I’ll leave you with some wisdom left to us by Mother Teresa:
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it’s all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Have you noticed an increase in the number of comments since installed KeywordLuv? I’ve been considering using it on a blog I own and need some honest feedback.
August 30th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Hi Tony,
I have not received more comments since installing Keyword Luv. I believe it depends on the niche you are in. For example Keyword Luv is very popular in the Internet Marketing world. It also does not work with every WP theme but because it is FREE why not give it a try.

I can see your getting the odd spam comment because your using keywordluv. I feel your pain mate…using Bad Behavior and Akismet at least kills off the obvious spammers :p
September 10th, 2009 at 7:24 am
I’ve been following your articles for some time now. They are really great, and interesting reads. By the way, absolutely love KeywordLuv!

Is the 80/20 rule a rule which is recognized and documented in general.
October 28th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Hello and thanks for your question. The 80/20 rule is also known as the Pareto Principal and you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

I didn?t found a twitter account information on tour blog I am definitely going to follow your posts.

There is another 80/20 rule that states that you should listen 80% and talk 20%. This is a fundamental rule for making friends. T’is better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt

Right on Beth, Imagine how our relationships would flourish if we listened more than talk. Thanks for your input.

All the 80/20% rules discussed above make perfect sense. However, one way I look at things is that people are always going to talk no matter what you do. You could be the most perfect thing they’ve ever seen and they would still have something insensitive to say. My point is this, just be yourself, and if your friends can’t accept that, you may want to start looking at making new friends.

my boyfriend had a girlfriend die 4 years ago and i cry everytime i think about her, she was 13, and i never knew her, i’ve seen a picture of her, and he said she was beautiful. it hurts so much. i just dont want to be sensitive about her anymore i want to move on for someone i never knew.
May 26th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
Hi Kiki,
Although she may have died 4 years ago, her spirit/ghost is still connected to your boyfriend. Your sensitivity is picking up on the sadness that is still present for the loss your boyfriend feels.
Because I can connect with the spirit world I will help her move into the light and you must explain to your boyfriend that he must release her memory and then you will be free.
Over the next 12 hours I will contact her and help her move on then I need you to send me a message to explain if you feel different.
In loves light,
Glenn

I’m sensitive, but not that much and I have a “best friend” who does not give a damn about anything, she’s rude, braty, greedy, selfish, un polite and swears alot, I’m not even getting good grades and she is getting the highest, people are nice to her, she thinks she’s kind, decent, the best, and at the same time she’s complaining to me 24/7 about her apperence, which is not even that bad. And now she’s telling me she has a big crush on my worst enimie. She talks about him every minute. And he bullied me for a whole year. When ever I tell her my opinion or feelings, she just brings me down even more saying, wow you are a pu$$y, you need to stand up for your self and the other day I said I know, I can’t even stand up to you, and she responded I know, thats sad in a really mean voice. she takes everthing as a joke. I had arguements with her the whole year, everyone thinks she’s better then me and I’m just not there. I wish I wasn’t even her friend. And sometimes I wonder why I still am. She’s bigger then me and laughs at my face, plus everyone makes fun of how small I am.

Thanks for sharing this. No matter if you consider yourself sensitive or not, it is obvious that this issue bothers you quite a bit. Sometimes these difficult people are in our lives to teach us. If life is GREAT we tend to not want to grow personally. Why bother? Challenges lead us to learn more about ourselves and this is what you are doing with your so called “BF”. Look on YouTube for “positivesimona” and watch her video series on the universal laws. I think they will help you.
Much luck in your journey and do let me know how you are getting on.

PS Quite often very good things come in small packages!

I think you can be both sensitive and strong without diluting you as a person. In this world of tough and dog eat dog ideology sensitivity is a must. People are automatically drawn to you, and want to be around you. The universe needs people to be cool calm and sensitive to others around.

Hi Robert, thanks for your input. I agree, we sensitives are the people who are going to change the world for the better.
August 6th, 2010 at 8:51 am
i got given some good advise once which was “dont look back you will only regret, but dont look forward you will only fret”. live for the moment, and dont take offence to insensitive people they cant/wont help the way they are.
August 10th, 2010 at 12:36 am
I agree about it having to do with your frame of mind. So much of life comes down to your mind and how you decide to approach or handle it.
August 13th, 2010 at 5:29 am
i completly agree about the frame of mind , im a very sensitive person if someone raises there voice at me or anything i start crying.
