1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I don’t know that I’d say you’re overly sensitive. We feel what we feel, and that isn’t right or wrong. You might need to work on controlling your response to how you feel, though. If you’re crying at work often, that can cause problems for you. For what it’s worth, I’m an easy crier, too. I just try not to do it in a professional setting. Not always successfully. Welcome to Fluther, by the way!
