emotional

so it's been brought to my attention that I'm emotional and sensitive... too emotional and sensitive. And I mean I have known that I have always been like that but I hadn't really realized how bad it had gotten. Until what pretty much felt like an intervention. I'm not mad, so don't you guys go thinking that I am. But surprise surprise, it did hurt quite a bit. Not sure if that is acceptable or not. But I actually get it now. I mean it has been briefly brought up before but once my boyfriend said that he can't fully be himself around me because he can't joke around that much because I take things too hard really struck me. Hope you followed all of that. But yeah that's not ok and I know that's not ok so I want to fix it. You might be thinking "oh changing for a boy is wrong blah blah blah" but I am not changing for him. Well maybe I am a bit but I am changing for me too. And it's not like it's a bad change like at all. But I need to get stronger and be happier and by "loosening up" I can do that. Of course it's not like I was always being sensitive on purpose. Which makes my goal even harder to get to. But I have to do it. I have to. So just bear with me. Please?
