My friend kept calling me “too sensitive” so I used his own logic back on him
I have a friend who always dismisses things by saying people are “too sensitive,” including me.
If something bothered me and I brought it up, he’d just brush it off with that line instead of actually listening.
One day, we were hanging out and someone made a small joke about him. Nothing serious, just light teasing.
He got visibly annoyed and started defending himself.
I just calmly said, “Why are you reacting like that? You’re being too sensitive.”
He went quiet for a second and then said, “That’s different.”
I didn’t argue, I just left it at that.
Since then, he’s toned down using that phrase on others.
