I'll add that there's also a wide range in peoples' actions and reactions in response to sensitivities. Sometimes a sensitive person gets hurt, heals, then gets back out into life. Other times, she or he gets hurt, closes off from the world and takes a while to get back out. I've done both at different times through the years. You're right though - in the end, it's finding that balance between the benefits and drawbacks of a sensitive nature.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by and for adding to our conversation.<br /><br />MohamedDr. Mohamedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673867214475179890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333774250225175729.post-71068523615374122962010-07-23T09:01:21.328-07:002010-07-23T09:01:21.328-07:00You're welcome, Dr. Kang!
