A craft to master.

I have a friend. With difficulty.  Managing her emotions. She takes stuff  too personally.  Yes, she’s what I would call overly sensitive. Gets her feelings hurt. Too easily. She needs a thicker skin. I know how to handle her. And to protect her from emotional onslaught and turmoil. Of course, I can’t protect her totally. From the world, in general. That would be impossible. But I’m trying to teach her. Ways. To not allow annoying people to get under her thin skin.  Believe me. It’s a craft. That comes in handy. One that I have long mastered.   --Jim Broede
