sensitive: easily hurt or damaged; especially: easily hurt emotionally

Someone told me yesterday "U shouldn't be so sensitive"
and of course I retorted back with a defense of not being sensitive, but it got me thinking..am Ireally that sensitive, to the point where others feel I should toughen up. Or should I even care, I mean does that one person's opinion of me, even matter? The answer I came up with is.. yes and no.. Yes because regardless of how confident and comfortable I am with myself, there are a select few that I deem highly important, important enough to actually care what they say. No because this is what makes me..me and while I would try to improve a characteristics, I would never want to change it. I think many people view sensitivity as a weakness, something that constantly needs to be improved on, or strengthened with time. While others see it as a valuable assets, to be able to show emotionally just how you're feeling at that very moment. Is that such a bad thing? Or should I consistently hold in all of emotions, until I feel they have disappeared somewhere inside me. Would that be better?
