Sensitivity

Very often when we think about ourselves and our midos, we think that it is positive that we are sensitive people.  It is positive to be sensitive to other peoples feeling, but it is not a positive trait to be overly sensitive to our own feelings.  We have to learn to overcome the feeling that we have a right to be overly involved with our own feelings.  It does not get us where we need to go in life, and it keeps us stuck in misery. From a Torah 12 step meeting.
