Do your feelings get hurt? Less as you age? I used to be supersensitive and get hurt. I don't now. I just shrug and move on. WEIRD?

It is a shocking realization and I am flabbergasted. When I was younger I was painfully shy and I guess fragile. All kinds of things hurt. Feelings, sense of worth, whatever. Now I NEVER get hurt and I'm wondering why? I wonder if that as you age your only defense is to feel less so you hurt less so you slide through things without their really ever affecting you? I don't think it is normal. Do you?

    Sticks and stones may break my bones ,but words can never hurt me Rosie ...   We was all told this by our parents from birth really....
    If things said to you or about you are false and made up....why would it upset you ?  .....annoy you yes...and rather foolish to disturb a sleeping Hornets nest.....
    Some of us have long memories and should never be provoked.  :(

    Do you ever get hurt honey? I guess I never really thought much about it but as I review in my mind different things and experiences...people who used to be in my life who aren't any longer for example...it stuns me to realize that some of the breaks were potentially hurtful to me and I felt nothing. I feel nothing. So have I set up walls to protect me or do I just really not care? I mean I don't know how I can  possibly answer that question so of course I'm asking you and others whether they don't feel hurt too and why would that be?  I remember lots of things. I also forget lots of things. But other than little donny dingbat there is no one I want to "get back at" for anything. Not one person! There is no one I want to hurt the way I was hurt because I wasn't hurt. I dunno. It's a curious thing to think about and since there can never be a resolution I'll just do what I usually do and move on. Thank you for your reply D and Happy Thursday to thee! (oh and that other thing too!) :)

    I don't get annoyed if things are true .....I do I suppose get angry if people lie or gossip ...I mind my own business and expect others to do the same....
    I dont get hurt by things that are not true......and if they are ,how can you defend yourself .. ?

    Thank you for your reply D. I stopped defending myself years ago. People will believe what they need to believe about you to feel good about themselves. There is no way to fight that so why bother? Your friends will always give you the benefit of the doubt and those whose cuppa tea you aren't will always think the worst of you. So what? That's how I look at it. So what? This post was edited by RosieG at February 28, 2019 12:24 PM MST
