title says it all. can’t do nothing around them. their so easily offended and misconstrue things.
the older I get the less sensitive I become. I think sensitivity is a subversion of my masculinity.

I don’t care about ppl like I used to. I was once a very compassionate person

Same here. I was very compassionate too. But I can only get screwed over so many times. So now I’ve hardened up a bit.

I am comfortable numb, after the little pinprick.
Well then you probably think I’m pathetic then. I am very sensitive and I get upset very quickly. My brother calls me weak. My partner hates when I’m very upset and cry.

I wouldn’t think your pathetic. but I might not have the patience for you, like maybe someone else would. im not at war with myself over it, so that’s good.
I had a girlfriend cry in front of me once, and I accused her of being dramatic. we broke up

I used too be very sensitive. Still kinda am.
I’d rather ppl were upfront tho about stuff. Ppl need to vent. It isn’t right to silence many for the sensibilities of a few

When I’m accused of microaggressions, I take that as my cute that I need to move on to macroaggressions.

Me too. I’ve become less sensitive as I’ve gotten older too. I have an ex who is almost my age and she is ultra ultra sensitive still and I can barely breathe around her and she takes offense. I think I hate her now. Yes, I think I do.

Well I consider people who are easily offended to be self important. I actually value sensitivity. But I mean my definition of it may be different than yours. To me sensitivity is the ability to perceive minute changes in the environment. But at the Same time it doesn’t mean you have to be affected by them. Now there is also people who are annoying. Overbearing. Draining. But that is usually their problem.

You can be sensitive and not be offended by people breathing the wrong way. You can be masculine and not care about the gay guy hitting on you.
I’m sensitive, but idgaf what people think of me anymore. It’s oh so hilarious when people who mistake my sweetness for weakness try to take advantage and find out that I honestly don’t care what happens to them, just as they don’t care what happens to me.
You can be sensitive and be silent. Dramatic people on the other hand? I have no time for. Normies who thrive on drama are a waste of space. Us sz’s at least have an excuse, we have a mental illness, but most of us don’t like drama, either.
I get what you’re saying, and I actually agree with you OP, but sensitivity itself isn’t bad. It’s the people who want to be offended by everything, that usually have nothing to do with what’s being discussed, that get to me.

Why think less of someone? If someone wants to be sensitive have at it. I am a ravenous man though.
The problem I often have is to not address a conflict or disagreement on the spot. I pretend to comply, and sit on my feelings, which incubate and later hatch out in a very vicious email to the person I am in conflict with.
It’s better to voice disagreement on the spot, right in the moment. Otherwise I waste time feeling lousy. Is that sensitive? It’s about learning to be self-assertive. I’m getting better at it since giving up the booze.

My view is that there’s a time for sensitivity, but like anything it needs to be used with some discretion. I think the issue is that people sometimes use sensitivity and emotions to manipulate others.
my husband and i are both Autistic
we are sensitive - pretty much bullied because of not wanting to hurt people because we know how it feels to be hurt for no reason (school days)
We don’t comprehend the ways of the world as easily as most people and will not have children
Was tough growing up
we now have each other.
He doesn’t want to be domineering but can’t help it cos he was bought up by a wanker
I can’t help looking at him like he is weak because my inner arrogance leads to that
i was always with sporty types… just a lot of flings and ltr’s with bullies
