As a child I was always super sensitive, and sometimes I think I still am. This level of sensitivity has prompted me to avoid getting close to most people throughout my life and also has prevented me from pursuing relationships. As I did not want others seeing this side of me for fear of being seen as weak. Whenever I would get clowned by other guys I would either shrink up or otherwise try to dismiss it as a joke (yet still be bothered by it) so as to avoid the risk of looking stupid trying to stand up for myself. I also know that having a thick skin is vital to surviving in the real world.
Does AM6 already deal with this to an extent? What about any other subs (LTU?)
I get what you are saying about the sensitivity, I am to a sensitive guy which have made me form great and close relationships in the past. It's just that you need to find people who appreciate you for who you are. Sensitive people are great, they are thoughtful, great at listening, often very creative and have many good ideas and solutions to problems.
But we also can get run over if we don't stand up for ourselves. You don't need to change who you are and loose your sensitivity, as it's a great gift, believe me - but you need to grow a back-bone which let you stand up when people are trying to run you over. And you know when they do, because you can sense it. But most people don't, if they are not assholes. Assholes try to run you over, they are not the people you want to have as friends.
But then it's also the case of the person who take everything personally and just shut down, seeing himself as a victim. That is another case of sensitivity, which is caused by you in some way being emotionally healthy. In this case maybe E2 would be a good idea.
Don't know where you are really on this scale, but if it's that you need to learn to stand up to yourself when people are giving you shit, and having them start to respect you, you need to start looking for the strength inside yourself. I could recommend starting doing some physical work and going to a mixed martial arts club of some sorts.
