What to Say When Someone Says "You're too sensitive"
SAY THIS
“My reaction fits what happened.”
Sensitivity isn't the crime here.
“You're too sensitive.” is a classic gaslighting move. What it really means: The problem isn't what I did — it's that you noticed. The goal of the reply isn't to win an argument — it's to stay calm, stay specific, and put the weight of the line back on the person who said it.
“You're too sensitive.”
(after they hurt you)
TRANSLATION
The problem isn't what I did — it's that you noticed.
WHAT TO SAY BACK
“My reaction fits what happened.”
WHY IT WORKS
Sensitivity isn't the crime here.
