[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I (a man) was a pretty sensitive kid and I still am as an adult, (your first story made ME sad for instance).

I think I turned out okay. There's a lot of ways that people (especially men) relate to each other that don't work for me, things like friendly insults. I gravitate towards people who are calmer and more overtly kind. It's meant my closer friends are often women, though not exclusively.

Various times as a kid were hard. I cried pretty easily, and that's not cool when you're in sixth grade. I think kids today ARE nicer though, in a lot of ways. I grew up somewhere where there weren't a lot of options for activities, so I never found people like me that way, but I found people who I liked in school most of the time.

None of it mattered after I started college though. It's still who I am, but it's not something I think about most of the time.[/quote]

Thanks for sharing. Could you elaborate on what you mean that none of it mattered once you started college?[/quote]
