Some of us are more sensitive to what is said to us than others. The concern becomes when the one who takes things personally harbors it, and refuses or simply can’t let it go. It’s concerning in that the hurt one may end or distance their relationship from the person they feel hurt by.
The additional emotional injury occurs when the one feeling hurt attempts to discuss it with the other, and the other makes a comment like, “You’re too sensitive”, or, here comes the big one, “It’s not a big deal”. People, it’s a “big deal” to them, and if you don’t try to acknowledge this or understand that they think it’s a “big deal”, they will leave feeling frustrated and misunderstood.
