text: i am a very sensitive person someone can something to me and i take it the wrong way, or if i watch a movie or hear a song, it makes me cry,. how do i stop being so sensitive and grow stronger as a person mentally? does that run in the family because my mother is like that also? i too am a very sensitive person.i cry at songs and sad movies..it just means you have a good heart......and if you know you are a good person as well , then take what other ppl say with a grain of salt.  you gotta stop and ask yourself if the person saying these things and what they say worth getting upset over.....try asking them how they meant what they said.(being able to stand up adn take up for yourself is the first step.) and good luck.you can do it......
