"Grow A Skin!"
A number of days ago, a DUer posted an article about the over-prescription of psychotropic drugs (Can anyone please find a link to that post? A search has led to zero.)
This article from Psychology Today gives another facet of the problem.... incorrect labeling of personalities.
Sensitivity is present in ALL humans, and in this society, accounts for approximately 15-20% of the population. It is something that people are BORN with, so mocking people for being "too sensitive" is about the same as mocking people for having brown eyes. It is time to recognize this facet of our culture.
The complete article is well-worth the read, but is not on the website.... it is in the August issue of the magazine.
I hope it leads to more awareness.
"Sense and Sensitivity"
They tear up at phone commercials. They brood for days over a gentle ribbing. They know what you're feeling before you do. Their nerve cells are actually hyperreactive. Say hello to the Highly Sensitive Person—you've probably already made him cry.

Settling into a chair for coffee with a friend, Jodi Fedor feels her heart begin to pound. Tension creeps through her rib cage. Anger vibrates in her solar plexus. But she's not upset about anything. The person across from her is. Fedor soaks up others' moods like a sponge.
Fedor is sensitive—an adjective usually preceded by too. "I'm like an exposed nerve," she says. "At its worst, my sensitivity turns me into an emotional weather vane at the whim of my environment." But at its best, it's a gift, a fine-tuned finger on the pulse of every flutter of her surroundings.
SNIP
The Highly Sensitive Person has always been part of the human landscape. There's evidence that many creative types are highly sensitive, perceiving cultural currents long before they are manifest to the mainstream, able to take in the richness of small things others often miss. Others may be especially sensitive to animals and how they are handled. They're also the ones whose feelings are so easily bruised that they're constantly being told to "toughen up."
Today, science is validating a group of people whose sensitivity surfaces in many domains of life. Attuned to subtleties of all kinds, they have a complex inner life and need time to process the constant flow of sensory data that is their inheritance. Some may be particularly prone to the handful of hard-to-pin-down disorders like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Technology is now providing an especially revealing window into that which likely defines them all—a nervous system set to register stimuli at very low frequency and amplify them internally.

Also known as pu$$ies, emo-kids, crybabies, poopy-pants, and DUers. These sensitive people are known for getting sand kicked in their face at the beach, and are generally trod underfoot by people who actually accomplish things in life.
The puss Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) does not handle conflict well at all. they quiver in fear at any sign of dissent, and seek to crush all competition. Things like free speech are threatening to a pu$$y, he will seek to shut down all radio programs and internet discussions he disagrees with. When the HSP gains political power, he will frequently institute a murderous purge of all who disagree with him, as evidenced by Stalin, Presidential mentor Ayers, and many DUmmy threads.
In light of these trends, I agree that HSP is a mental disorder and such people should be either institutionalized, or at least denied from holding office or owning a gun.
Help a DUmmie. Lock them up in institutions where they cannot harm anyone or be threatened by other opinions.
Mother's basement is no place for a DUmmy. Insane asylums are far kinder, and have locks on the doors.
Won't you help the HSP?

Must be one of those "new" features.
I can't wait to see how often this pops up now.

Who would have guessed DUmp democrats have "community standards"?
When they load up even their thread titles with F-bombs, cheer cancer diagnoses, curse the name of God, and celebrate sexual perversion, how much room is left for "standards"?

15. That is exactly it. Criticizing people for being sensitive is VERY INSENSITIVE.
The smelly hobo, back from the grave, is in mid-season form.

Delete this one Frank. Sorry. I did not see other other thread.
