Are You Thick Skinned Or Thin Skinned?

Having worked with the public for over 40 years I’m thick skinned. However I don't suffer fools gladly.

The 'hurts'  don't necessarily come from the  the public though. They can come from friends and family, arguably the worst. Fortunately I haven't suffered that, or at the very minimum at least.

I'm a bit of a sensitive thin skinned type. A wrong word or two can put me out for a while.  

 

Do you mean emotional or unemotional?

As a thin skinned type, a wrong word or two towards me could make me feel emotional, upset, sensitive but definitely not unemotional.

Do you get told to 'man up'?

Is being emotional a female trait?

I've never been told to 'man up' and I certainly don't see being  emotional as a female trait!
