Yes, I'm already undergoing therapy and take meds, so those bases are covered.
How does one overcome a "thin skin" ? Or, more to the point, how did YOU overcome one ?

1. How did I get over having a thin skin?
I didn't.
I still am very thin-skinned. I try to avoid situations where it might be an issue, and I surround myself with people who love and care about me.
I've been wondering about 2014 DUmmy Of The Year Big Mo. Like most former Top DUmmies, she's been pretty quiet since her big win.
Looks like it's same ol' same ol', at war with her urban Chicago neighbors (and the city) over her weed-filled, junk-filled, broken-glass filled, chicken-shit filled vacant lot.

6. it's hard.
my skin kinda toughened up when i got on the right meds, and got divorced from the person who constantly wore away my skin.
in some shit now over my farm. again. i have mostly been able to not take it too personally because i know that neighbor troubles are SUCH a common problem. got a semi-public meeting coming up this week, tho, and hoping i dont get too badly. several long relationships on the rocks over it, and i think being in the same room with all of them is gonna suck.

I really love your poems, Calpig. You should post more of them.

Yeah, Big Mo's really got to check in more often, given the sort of company she keeps.
We need assurance that she's okay.

So, she lives the life of a hermit and avoids human contact. :lmao:

stevenumber's "thin skin" problem is easily fixed.
Therapy and "meds" won't do you any good, steve. You'll always be a compulsive masturbator. Just don't grip it so tight, and don't yank on it so hard.

stevenumbers follows that Viagra commercial warning.
He calls his doctor every four hours.

Until s#### grasps the concepts that people might disagree with him, and might be decent human beings, and (GASP!) be right at least sometimes, s####'s thin skin will be chronic. And comic.

Sometimes when chopping a lot of wood you can build up calluses on your hands. Obviously, Steve###, you cannot chop wood using other parts of your body. To remedy this I suggest you find someone to beat you with a ax handle until your skin thickens up with calluses.

They just want to believe whatever they want to believe, and then be able to express that out-loud and have no one disagree (which to them is harshness and being mean-spirited, no matter how it's expressed). Or if there's infighting on the board, they want to step in with a "everyone should just stop!" and that the other primitives read it and say "Oh, that's the one primitive we should all look up to and listen, they're so smart."
Bunch of wanna be Indians who think they're all chiefs.

You know, this is the most recent story one can find on Big Mo, and it isn't very recent:

Chicken Farmer Hopes Coop Drama Over After City Inspectors OK Property
October 14, 2015 8:37am
ROGERS PARK — Rogers Park resident and urban farmer Mo Cahill is "floating on clouds" after passing a recent inspection from the city that found her garden plot and mini-chicken farm were in compliance with local code.
It was good news to Cahill, who since 2014 had been battling the city for her farm after complaints to 311 led city inspectors to her property.
In August last year, Cahill said inspectors showed up unannounced to the plot of land at 1839 W. Touhy Ave. next to the two-flat building she owns and cited her for numerous violations — including stagnant water, rust, weeds, debris and more.
In all, 18 violations against her home and seven against the farm were filed.
Cahill argued many of the violations cited by the city were misconstrued, but on Dec. 31 the city sued her.
Then, last week Cahill said a city inspector showed up again to peruse her farm and house.
This time, she said, the property "passed with flying colors" and the inspection was over in minutes.
She said the inspector "barely" looked around, but they did make small talk about the legality of chickens in the city, and she assured him neither the chicken coop nor a truck on the property would leak any more fluids.
Without any new violations, she said she was told her case would likely be dismissed in December when it next goes to court.
The inspector warned her the entire process could start again if someone lodged another complaint, but it would be difficult for those complaints to hold up in court because they will have been found to be previously dismissed.
It was welcome news to Cahill.
"My lawyer and I nearly fainted," she said.
City officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. No records of any violations have been posted online since the issues noted by the city in August of last year.

"Call your doctor if you have an erection lasting 4 hours".
Bullsh*t. At my age, if I had an erection that lasted that long I'd fall down on my knees and thank God.

Like Rodney Dangerfield said,."At my age, I'm envious of a stiff breeze!". 😂

stevenumbers has that one thing going for him, but he's so smooth with the ladies it's like carrying around an air conditioner at the North Pole.
He never gets to use it.

Dangerfield: I flew into the airport. Before I went home, I got in the cab and told the driver to take me somewhere I could get some "action". He took me to my house.

More Rodneyisms:
The other day I found some guy's wallet. Inside was a picture of my 2 kids!
When my wife has sex with me it's for a reason . The other day, she used me to time an egg.
I went to the dealer to buy a used car. I found my wife's dress in the back seat.
You ever wondered why people say "she" instead if "he" when they talk about cars. Cars and women are very much alike. With either one, a car or a woman, how many times on a cold morning when you really need it, it won't turn over.

Rodney was so cool. Back when comedy was funny and you could laugh your a*s off without the use of one cuss word.

That's still possible. They're just fewer and far between.

Oh, that guy. Can't stand his voice...
Brian Regan comes to mind. I think the worst I've heard him say is "hell".
