text: i'm to sensitive. how can i overcome this? i'm independant and kinda tough, but when im setting alone in my room all the little things that i'm thinking of brings me to tears. especially relationship matters, and basicly stuff about my life. a tricky thing happens in the brain when we feel all kinds of emotions.  chemical reactions in the brain cause us to almost crave certain emotional responses.  some people begin to develop an "addiction" to certain emotions, when their emotional responses conrtol the everyday thought pattern.   perhaps if you see the documentary called "what the bleep do we know?" you will gain some more insight into the issue of controling your way of thinking.  i also icluded a link in the resource box which has very helpful information about how to help control how we internalize events that happen in our lives.    i hope you find this all to be helpful, and good luck with all.
