Sensitivity and Social Media

The whole concept of Social Media is fascinating to me, being able to communicate and interact with people all over the world with the click of a button is astounding.  I love to share and participate in many aspects of this phenomenon but I do have to be careful about getting too involved.  I am a very sensitive person and do get hurt when someone posts a harsh comment or reply to me.  It still surprises me the things that people will say with the anonymity of the internet and feel totally justified in doing it. 

I have been told all of my life that I need to be tougher but that is not the person I want to be.  I am very happy with who I am and if that means getting my feelings hurt from time to time - so be it.  My gentle nature allows me to share something very special with others on and off-line and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.  So for me Social Media is simply a great way to share with other like-minded souls where ever they may be.
