”getting thicker skin” is great in theory but I think for some people “get better at handling your thin skin” is gonna be way more helpful advice. I have strong emotional reactions to criticism and they might never go away, but i can continue to try and handle each situation maturely and that’s the important part. Sometimes irrational feelings are chronic and living with them is better than trying to beat yourself up into not having them.
the languages siblings speak are absolutely incomprehensible to outsiders btw. even parents. best of luck to the amazon wiretappers who have to try to piece together what my brother and i are talking about, sorry u just had to be there.
