I’m way older than you, and not at all “sensitive”. My emotional responses tend to be dulled by my upbringing and what I believe is a trauma defense.
I have great appreciation for my lack of sensitivity. Being overly emotional seems exhausting. But I will say that positive people are great. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like being around folks who readily express positive emotions like joy, humor, love, compassion, etc. if that’s you, then please don’t seek to change. It’s delightful to be around people who appreciate the world, and who exude positivity.
But negative emoters are a drag. Folks who sad cry over small inconveniences, or get very angry over little things, get envious over everything, easily offended and fearful. If it is negative emotions, then I’d say it would be worth working on a bit.
Sounds like you’re on the positive side, which begs the question…. Why would you want to change? If people you are around don’t like that you are happy, that is bonkers… find new people. If they are sick of your crying and complaining, then maybe it’s worth exploring though.
