Examples
of being a little too sensitive:
 |
Someone has a nasty
attitude with you (talks to you in a nasty tone of voice, etc.) or is being
unfriendly (refuses to be around you or sit with you).
 |
Someone is calling
you names such as "stupid" or saying things like "you
don't have any friends" and when they are doing these things they ARE
NOT doing it in front of others to embarrass you.
