On Being Sensitive

Are you one of those sensitive people who tends to take things personally?  Don't be embarrassed to admit it, because I am one, too.  Do you know what cures this condition?  Being ridiculed, hated, ignored - for a long, long time.  

Yes, that's right.  Hypothetically speaking (LOL), if you are in a job where there is rampant and continuous gossip of a vicious nature, and you are not able to figure out why people hate you... eventually you learn to give up on trying to figure out why they hate you.  You just give up on caring what they think anymore.  But it took many years to beat this out of me.  Like, 7.5 years of pain and embarrassment.  Now I definitely care a lot less what anyone thinks of me.  Yay.
