Being sensitive ?

Life isn't easy at times and sometimes you just feel like going uphill and live in a forest for the rest of your life alone without having to deal with any issues. Of course, it is a way to avoiding and it serves no good in the long run, but the feeling of having to deal with people and life is just so much to take in for people that are sensitive.

It is easy for people to tell another person to stop being sensitive, but once they are in the exact or similar situation, I guess it would be a whole new story. Maybe some people may be over-reacting over some small matters in life. But it is unfair to judge others for being sensitive towards things we considered to be trivial.
All of us are sensitive towards different things in life.
Some are easily triggered by what others say, some can be mad because of another person's rude behaviour. Some can get angry because they are being ignored.
It's only natural to feel certain emotions when these things happened instead of suppressing those emotions.

What I hope is for people to be more understanding towards one another instead of judging, assuming what they see and hear and always wanting others to be less sensitive. Sometimes when we judge others, we are only looking at the surface of things.
Sometimes some people are afraid of getting hurt, they may be rude and loud towards other people.
But they did this to prevent themselves from getting hurt or they may get hurt due to past events of them being a victim of abuse. It is like a defensive mechanism.

It is never fair to judge others based on only one/a few inappropriate actions of a person.
Sometimes we can focus so much on one negative quality of a person and amplify it so much to the degree that we ignore all their good qualities.
Certainly, I am not condoning the behaviors of those people that may be ignorant, rude, totally insensitive, but I just hope that we can take time to get to know others and not judging a person based on assumptions or rumors.

I sincerely hope that my readers to be more compassionate towards others, maybe listen to others attentively, do some random acts of kindness(ripple effect eyy) or at least don't be too critical towards others.  =)
