Thanks for the quote, Carol.

I know that I am VERY sensitive. I even border on parinoid. This is something which I really need to work on. All too often, I get caught up in what I think others are thinking. This does me no good.

Here's a quote which helps me:

"it's none of my business what other people think about me".

I'm beginning to realize that at least some of my oversensitivity is a result of my chronic self-centredness. I've always had major insecurities. Some of these insecurities drive me to self seeking behaviours and thinking. These behaviours and thinking really open the door for me to be hurt. I get hurt so much easier when it's "all about me". It's like running out into traffic.
