Task for the forseen future: try to be less sensitive. This should only take five or six years, if I'm lucky.

Oh gawd, me too. 2 things happened last night, one so subtle it probably was nothing at all and I woke up thinking about it and it's eating away at me. On small insignificant look from someone and I have this whole story raging up in my head.

MUST.STOP.IT.

Blah.

Everytime I think of doing something like this, I recall that line from "Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen/the Tribune-writer's-advice-to-grads" that says:
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Seriously, offhand comments can send me into a shame spiral for DAYS. I need to learn to let stuff not bug me all the time. If you ever figure out the secret, let me know, okay?

That is awesome, especially the tell me how part.

Sensitivity can be an asset, but not when it makes you crazy over every little thing people say about you. Maybe I should have said: Try to be less neurotic.
