Being too sensitive is a problem when it is to the point that it is interfering with your life or causing problems. Just as any other type of personality trait, it should be in correct and healthy balance.Pammy, thank you for the reply. You make a fair point, defining yourself by sensitivity is not the same as simply being sensitive, and i think that distinction is important here.
Abrasive means tending to rub or wear something down through friction. I think it is a fitting word in context. as an example, when someone raises a genuine point or question and is met with "Hah, what? You are taking yourself and this community a bit too seriously." i would class that as abrasive. it is dismissive by nature, and depending on the soul receiving it, could cause them to disengage entirely rather than refine. Also, "Some people, sensitive ones like you, have an issue with my approach". framing sensitivity as a character flaw rather than simply a different disposition is another example of what i mean. my point was never that henu's methods are without value, friction does refine. only that variety in approach is a strength, not a concession. I hold no ill will here. years of consistent dedication to answering others speaks for itself.
When told something like "calm down, you are taking it too seriously." The reaction from most people will usually be be something like "Ok, maybe you are right." Which basically was Acolyte of Pan's reaction in the end. In trying to "defend" him, you are going even farther to be over sensitive about a situation as a 3rd party, when the person who is actually involved doesn't even have any problem.
