Why is being sensitive frowned upon in today's society?

Loaf · September 03, 2015, 07:43:43 PM

We all seem to be so obsessed with making people feel bad, shaming people into being just like everyone else. There's so much shame and misery that is involved with being a human being. It's funny how sometimes you just wish that you could get away from all of it, but people will always find a way to remind you that you have to push yourself to be a certain way. I think to me being sensitive means having a very low tolerance for putting up with other people's shit.

I kind of wonder what it must be like to be in the mind of another person, like the typical user of this forum. I always got the feeling that people who's brains aren't sensitive just don't have any sense of self awareness. You can parrot all the things others have shamed you for to reinforce your own self imposed rules, because of the fear that others inflicted on you. To you though you just see that as a way of being and you don't really question what is going on. To a sensitive person like me all of these things are actually cause for concern. It's so contrary to everything you all believe, but it's honestly true and I'm not going to say the rest.

It isn't.

Using your sensitivity as a means to an end, like as a jail-free card from criticism, is frowned upon. As it should be.

being sensitive is misunderstood as being weak, which isn't the case at all but you know people don't care

You expect me to know what you're implying, but I don't.

You're saying I am using some card as a means to an end. Beats me man, that's a head scratcher. You can call me dumb and just not explain if you want, it's your brain cells (or lack thereof).

There isn't though.

Being sensitive means if I call you a faggot you'll get offended and to try and cover up that you're sensitive you'll tell me I'm a terrible homophobic person that should be ashamed of himself because such and such.

So yeah, it's being a little bitch.

I mean like not that kinda sensitive uhhh....sensitive to other peoples feels?

Well.... I dunno about that. Being sensitive not being frowned upon, I mean.

I was given a metric shit ton of flak as a kid for reading books beyond simple schoolwork. That's not really a good example of sensitive I guess, but to them, enjoying reading was the probably the faggiest thing I could do.

Alongside not wanting to hurt people or fight, or, hunt animals.

Those things I listed would be considered as "sensitive" things for a guy to do in my particular avenue of the world.

Sensitivity in men is an undesirable trait for most. People generally prefer the confident and strong.

That isn't the type of "sensitive" were talking about.

You should see challengerx's profile. He's a weirdo. It has this weird all caps angry rant at how much he hates mods or something. Yeah I get it, this is a place where you can come and be yourself, I guess that for him means he can be a fucked up weirdo who just hates people.

That's funny, because you're the exact type of person I'd imagine would produce a rant like that.

It's not his rant--it's someone else's. We were just talking about it in another thread.

Yep, it sucks, but it's true. I guess it has primal roots when we were cavemen, as there was no time for weakness and sensitivity back then.

Being sensitive I think just means you're in touch with you're emotions and aren't afraid to express them. You can be that kind of person without being an easily offended pussy

Well that's not what being sensitive is. That's just being normal.

I guess I'm wrong then because I've always thought normal meant suppressing you're real emotions to make yourself seem cold and unattached

Sure, that's normal... if you wear Linkin Park tee shirts.

Which is coming from the person who regularly posted "femboy" threads and a NSFW dick thread.
