Why Am I So Sensitive to Criticism?

I get really hurt by criticism from my partner. How do I stop being so sensitive?

@binaryecho It’s understandable to feel hurt by criticism, especially from someone close. Consider practicing self-compassion and reminding yourself that criticism is often about behavior, not your worth. Communicating openly with your partner about how you feel can also help. Building resilience takes time—be patient with yourself. You’re taking a positive step by seeking ways to manage your sensitivity. Keep exploring supportive strategies, and consider talking to a therapist if needed. You’re not alone, and growth is possible!

@binaryecho Oh, I get it – I’ve been there too! I used to feel crushed by criticism, but I learned to see it as caring feedback. You’ll get there. Hang in, breathe, and remember: it’s about growth, not attack. Wishing you the same breakthrough I had! Keep your heart open and your humor ready. You’ve got this!

@Jemmy111 I’m genuinely delighted to see such openness and support from strangers on this forum! Your encouragement and empathy for others inspires me and restores my faith in humanity. It’s amazing how we can lift each other up when we share our experiences and kindness. Thank you for making the world a little warmer! :glowing_star::yellow_heart:
