Being Sensitive
Question: I’m quite a sensitive person. Whenever my friends bring me down with their words, I’d lose my confidence. How do I become a less sensitive person?
Answer:
Being sensitive is just one of your personalities; we shouldn’t judge that by saying it’s good or bad to be sensitive. To those attentive scientists, this is just the right character that helps them in their success.
Hence, valuing others opinion isn’t totally a bad thing after all. You don’t have to be troubled of it because this proves that you have the attitude to reflect yourself in your actions. It is a humble and true character you have.
On the other hand, if we become a person that does not care about anything, it doesn’t mean that we’re people with big hearts. If someone was pointing out something correct and we did not take their opinions into consideration, then we’d become someone irresponsible.
Nonetheless, we shall not be brought down by people’s opinion as well. This is because self-reflection is something we do to improve ourselves. Please chant so that you have a heart that’s huge enough to keep anyone’s opinion for the sake of your growth.
The best way to face your friends and people you dislike, is to chant. We suffer when we’re attempting to escape from our friends’ words. When we stop running away, all the comments and critics will enrich our character.
What’s important is for us to stand strong with our confidence. To achieve this, we must learn to think of people’s comment. Everyone would have their good and bad values. If we lose our confidence just because of a few words, it’d be silly.
For example, your friends might have said that you’re always late. At this situation we’re at, being late isn’t a good attitude. However, this doesn’t mean that you’re bad at any other aspect as well. What we must do, is to improve ourselves and enhance our good points. Never think of yourself as a useless person.
In other words, we must face people’s critics with an optimistic attitude. This way, we could evaluate whether our friends’ comments are valid. This helps us to understand whether they truly care for us or misunderstood us. If your friends have misunderstood you, don’t take it too seriously and feel bad about it. You must learn from their comments and become a better person. Clear the misunderstanding with your actions and improvement.
Our dear mentor, Mr. Toda once said “we must become a great listener.” You could lose your faith and confidence after hearing someone’s words; but you could also choose to learn from their critics and become a person who’s determined for an improvement and growth. When we come to think of it at this point, losing our confidence would seem to be our own loss. If we could just learn to improve ourselves from what others had to say, we could turn things to the positive side. Let’s guide ourselves towards the better self with education, guidance, reminders and comments. In contrary, it is stubborn to not listen to anyone. Regardless of your position in a society, you would still have to learn from one another.
There’s no one who would have no weak points at all. Hence, it is perfectly normal for us to have bunch of them since we’re still growing. It is a good thing to receive comments and critics. I hope that we can overcome each and every weakness of our own and grab the opportunity to grow and improve.
