Through a careless remark, a slight clumsiness, or a wrong word without bad
intent, you suddenly find yourself in an embarrassing situation, feel
yourself hurt or belittled. If you react in an injured manner, demand
apologies or become aggressive, this will only cause further, unnecessary
pain for you. Despite this, you should not just compromise but rather
think the incident over again, as it points to a particular area in which
you are oversensitive and that could, under other circumstances, lead to a
complete overreaction. The more you find out about this personal
sensitivity the easier it will be to accept it and to make others aware of
it.
