I am a college student and lately I've been having a having problems dealing with being over sensitive about a lot of things. My friends all agree that I take things way to personally and blow them out of proportion. This is begining to be a problem.
Some people are more in tune to the different nuances in their environment than others.
This can be both a blessing and a hindrance. Sometimes by being more cued to things, a person can interpret a gesture or comment to mean more than it is meant. It appears that you are aware about your sensitivity, since your friends have commented on this and you yourself seem to acknowledge this. One recommendation is to see a local therapist at your college in Student Services for an initial evaluation for possible psychotherapy. This has helped many people resolve inner conflicts and helped them deal with the outside world in a more adaptive manner.
