How do you handle sensitive Friends or Family...............

Shamma, my father still says things like that to me. like when I had an ear infection a few weeks ago, he offered to stomp on my toes to forget about the pain in my ear. Gotta love the parenting skilss!

Yes conversation has to be limited with the sensaitive & you can never be yourself aroun them.
You need to watch every word.

I wonder why people are like this.

I have 3 people like that. two of which don't speak to me anymore. One because I said somehitng to her she did not like. She never told me what and that was it. The only thing I got out of someone is I said something when I was upset and I should pay attention to what I say! That was from an outsider. She always blew everything out of proportion. Mind you we were friends for 6 years.

My thing is I like to discuss something if I do not like what someone says. Sometimes they never meant anything by it, or neither did I. My so called friend never gave me that chance. I think if they really are your friend they should know they can say something to you with you having a hairy.

On the other had my SIL is sensitive too. Nothing we did was good enough for her, oh and BIL also. I said something one night sitting at the table and he freaked out afterwards on his way to the train. He never confronted me and since has tainted the way I feel about him. I am afraid to speak around him. I called him up that same night when he got home and he told me I should think about what I say before speaking. This did not clarify the situation to me. Everyone else at the table had no idea what was going on either. Worst part he was the BM.

So basically I have no clue on how to handle these type of people.

I say we should put all the sensitive people in a room together and see how they treat each other, maybe we could take notes and learn a thing or 2. I just shake my head at this entire incident b/c to believe her warped thinking just really boggles my mind. OH well. MOVING ON Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and don't interact with anyone that's too sensitive.

shamma.. thats a good idea... I was thinking we should ship all the ultra sensative people off to there own island, so the rest of us dont have to deal with them
