If someone gets mad at me my day is ruined. I even think about it for days afterword. That's why I wonder if being SO sensitive is a curse from Satan. God doesn't want us to be unhappy all day. But I'm so sensitive that that's what happens to me if someone gets mad at me or hurt by me.
I kinda wish I was stronger so that I don't get so hurt by people. At the same time, though, it comes with a knowledge of how to talk to other people without hurting them.
What are your thoughts on this?

It is far better to be sensitive than to be insensitive. Being hurt is an unavoidable consequence of living in an imperfect world full of imperfect people. What we need is the strength to endure hurts, that strength is available to the sensitive via the Holy Spirit.
So do not wish to have taken away the thing that motivates you to be sensitive with others. It is a wonderful and loving thing to be sensitive with strength.
All Praise The Ancient Of Days
