Excerpts from my book (in progress)
Well, let me tell you what I've learned: There are no hypersensitive people. All the people I've known were equally capable of being hurt. Anyone who tells you different is only trying to make you feel alone.
— J. E. Brown
They'll try to convince you you're overreacting. Consider the reasons why they want you to believe that: Once you believe that you're the problem, they're off the hook, and are free to go on mistreating others.
— J. E. Brown
