A thought on 'taking offense' and 'sensitivity'

[Samson]

I like to hear the truth from people even if it's negative

Keep in mind that what you may consider negative could also be turned around into "Constructive Criticism". In which their negativity towards you, may actually be helpful in some aspects of life.

I would venture to say that most (Not all) negativity from someone else can lead to a form of constructive criticism. The bottom line of that would be; would it still be considered "Negative" if it turns out to be constructive and helpful......
