In this brief advice video, the speaker presents three practical ways to respond when someone tells you that you are "too sensitive." The first approach is to accept the label and stand your ground by calling out the dismissal of your feelings. The second approach acknowledges the comment but sets a boundary, asserting that your feelings are equally valid and that the other person cannot dictate what hurts you. The third approach is to deflect the comment by thanking the speaker and continuing the conversation as if the remark were a compliment. The video ends with a call to try these responses and to follow the creator.

What to say when somebody tells you you're too sensitive. Number 1, accept it and stand your ground. You can say something like, you're right, I am sensitive because I'm sensing you're dismissing my feelings. What you're saying is this deflection tactic, it's not going unnoticed. Number 2, acknowledge it and set up a boundary. You can say something like, well, maybe I am, but that doesn't validate your feelings any more than it does mine. What you're saying is my feelings are just as important as yours. You don't get to tell me what hurts. And number 3, ignore it. Don't take it personally. So if somebody says you're being too sensitive, just say, well, thank you, and keep on talking as if they just gave you a compliment, because in many ways it really is. So try that and follow me.
