I am sensitive about what others think about my boys' behavior. Especially in public. An example:
After the museum I took them to lunch at a popular place. The boys were generally good but wanted their muffin RIGHT NOW. Yelling MUFFIN! and crying and running into people. I sat them down with some crayons but it didnt help much. Then they kept dumping their water and fighting over the sandwich ans screeching. I was cleaning up their mess while trying to get them not to run out of the door. I know people were looking at us. Ugh.
I'm also sensitive about being half Middle Eastern. I defend Arabs/Palestinians and Muslims a lot.
I'm also sensitive about pictures. I am not photogenic. One in 10 pictures comes out ok. My nose has grown thanks to pregnancy, I'm all cheeks, my eyes are usually closed. I'm trying to learn how to pose for them like the RHs I hate getting my picture taken.

Physical appearance. Mine to be exact.
"Trailer trash" jokes and stereotypes. I live in a mobile home, but I'm not trashy. At least, I don't think so. Don't tell me if you think I am because you know, it's *sensitive*!
I don't think I'm sensitive about specific things, but I'm sensitive to criticism from specific people. There are people on the board who I really love and look up to, and if I feel like they're thinking less of me for some reason, I get sensitive about it. It doesn't stick with me, though.

I am sensitive to conflict, I want to give @chelsmonster a hug. I am a puppies and rainbow kind of girl. I am sensitive to any type of flaming, so anytime I am not on the unity horse of the board, you won't hear a peep from me. I will sit in the corner quietly with my opinion.
I am sensitive to conflict also and get really upset to the point of tears if I'm reprimanded (even gently) by an authority figure. I even cry when other people are reprimanded in front of me.
I'm very sensitive about the kids behavior in public. Not just being crazy or loud, but even things like Henry being sullen or something. I feel like the kids in a restaurant is a public showing of my parenting skills. Elliot had a tantrum on the train yesterday because H took the window seat and I was so embarrassed.
I'm also very self conscious/ sensitive about my appearance . It actually is a problem with DH and I. I need to get over if, but it's hard.

Everything. Which makes me very critical when people don't recognize the sensitivities of others without introspection (which is expected on both sides) and open dialogue. I'm awful complex. My poor husband. Really.

I have a friend like this, she is super hot (like you!) and doesn't realize it. It is a problem with her dh and her as well. I wish I could show her how other people view her, and you. I am jealous of your hotness.
I also used to be kind of sensitive in reviews when I used to work. Even if I got good reviews, I still felt bad leaving them due to one thing or something silly.
Being left out, my appearance, Carson not walking, I guess my kids in general. On here I am sensitive about if people like me because I think it's important to be liked.
I get annoyed or feel awkward more than I feel sensitive. I'm trying to contemplate if they are the same thing....
Sometimes, I have a fleeting sensitivity to people judging something I do or have done in a negative light but then I get over it and don't care.
I guess one thing recently I was sensitive to is that another mom, whom I thought to be a good friend, didn't invite L to her son's birthday party. I think she got mad at me last week about a flu vaccine text but she would have invited us to the party before that... So who knows. My feelings were hurt she didn't invite L to the party.

My English language skills lol
I take it very personal when someone talks about my childrens' behaviour or my choices as a parent. Eg. (is that right??) When people comment on how A's sleep issues are caused by my choice to BF.
Also, any type of criticism.
I have low self-esteem and avoid conflict as much as possible.
I avoid conflict as much as possible too. I'm getting better at it irl though. I don't try to cause conflict, but I'm standing up for myself more. It's hard yet very freeing at the same time.
Most things but I know that about myself and usually try not to project. I do feel though that as I get older I am getting over more things and adding less things.

Annabella's shyness/temperament. People tend it think there's something wrong with her socially, (there isn't). Infertility struggles. Racism. My physical appearance.

It's got to be a total drag being so hot and having people drooling over you all the time. I get it.

Lately I have been extra sensitive to feeling like my boys are less important and inadequate because they are male. Both here and IRL. I get the feeling that folks really think their lives are so charmed because of their girls and like they pity me. I see some people make constant jabs. I want to elbow them.
