why do our feelings get hurt so easily!

mines do.im a little sensitive cant help it

I liked what you said about taking risks. We're all about taking risks, giving the benefit of the doubt, etc. Aside from us and the Sags, any other sign known to take plenty of risks?

FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so did you finally get to meet him? how is he? after a long you two are meeting i guess.

"why do our feelings get hurt so easily!"


Because you allow it to be so.

Oftentimes, people will put the responsbility of another person to take care of how they feel .. for example:

A woman will say to her man, "I love you, do I make you happy"

Do you know what this means? If he says, "yes" then you are happy because you've made another person happy .. if he says "no" then it means you aren't happy because you failed to make another one happy.

Whereas, if you took the responsibility for your own feelings of self-worth and self-esteem in your ability to love, then you wouldn't have to ask the question, rather, you would know it with his smiles or frowns. If he displays his unhappiness in you by not responding with endearment, then swim .. whereas if you stay in a situation where you know he is unhappy, which causes your own unhappiness, then this is leaving it up to another to make you happy about yourself for you.

Most people do this, some more than others .. someone can only hurt your feelings if you give them the right to control how you feel.

Once, somebody said to me .. "I'm impressed", when I accomplished a feat. After a few moments, she then replied, "Well, that's rude. You don't even appreciate when someone gives you a compliment."

I looked at her and said, "You complimented yourself. You impressed yourself."

That was an attempt of making me feel praise for another person, not, for the task I actually completed, not for my success, rather, for her to get appreciated .. Do you see what I mean? If she was the one who was impressed, then that means it was her feelings she was expressing about how she is feeling about herself .. not how she was feeling about me and my success .. how is that a compliment for me?

A compliment for me for a job well done would go be something like, "Wow, that's great. You did a good job."

Your feelings belong to you, and it's up to YOU whether they get hurt, stroked, stepped-on .. because if you leave it up to another to feel for you, they will only feel for you with regards to how they feel for themselves, because they are only themselves and don't have your emotions .. you own them yourself.
