Don't be touchy or oversensitive

Sensitiveness expresses itself in a lack of control over the nervous system. A thought of being offended runs through the mind and the nerves rebel against it. In reacting, some persons seethe inwardly with anger or hurt feelings and show no irritation outwardly. Others express their emotions in an obvious and instant reaction in the muscles of their eyes and face and often in a sharp retort of  their tongue as well. In either case, to be touchy is to make one self miserable, and to create a negative vibration that also adversely affects others. To be able always to spread an aura of goodness and peace should be the motive of life. Even if there is a good reason for being excited because of mistreatment, one who instead controls himself in such a situation is master of himself. Nothing is accomplished by silently brooding over some perceived offence. It is best to remove by self mastery the cause the produces such sensitiveness.
