I agree to this statement. I often myself in a position where I am told that I am being too sensitive to other people's feelings. It goes along with putting other people before yourself which is also not such a good thing. I mean, it's really nice when you put other people before yourself. But there is the possibility that you are putting them ahead of yourself so much that you forget to take care of yourself, which can lead to a multitude of problems. Along with internal type problems, people could see you care for others more than yourself and they could take advantage of you. I find this actually a really hard balance to maintain. You don't want to be seen as being to self-involved or being too sensitive to other's feelings. But being in the middle is a challenge because everyone's opinions about where that middle is is different. For me, too sensitive is when you start to completely ignore your own feelings for others. And others might just think that would make the person just very very considerate and that theres nothing wrong with that. But I ,however, agree because it's really important not to be a push over and to stand up for what you think and feel, while still being sensitive to other peoples's feelings... just not too much.
