I get that too, the over-sensitive thing. That's why I acted like more of a bad arse in high school, cause I felt if being oversensitive is the problem, maybe they'd like it better if I was undersensitive. Like most of the NTs I ran into at that high school. It's taken me awhile to learn that I'm not oversensitive, it's simply that I might require more support than other people, and claiming I'm oversensitive in effect, is a quick way of telling me to shut up, without actually saying so.
