I'm just too sensitive to (perceived) criticism, I know. I should 'harden up', I know. But what can you do when supposedly normal and everyday encounters send you on a downward spiral?
I know people don't mean to upset me. How can they know? But that doesn't help me when I'm left with the hurt I feel. I pick myself up, again. I put on a brave face, again. And I venture out, again. Only for the next hurt to kick me.
It's tiring. Too tiring. I don't care whose 'fault' it is. I'm incapable of dealing with it. I just want the hurt to stop.
