James 1:19
My feelings get hurt easily. Really easily. I take everything personally. I think that everything you say or do is a reflection of how you view me. I believe I can read your mind through the things you do that rub me the wrong way. My emotions are really sharp. If either of us get too close, one (or both) of us will bleed.
James warns against this kind of living. He tells us to be dull to speak, dull to anger... rounded edges instead of sharp corners... a little less sensitivity to me so that I can allow people - and I can allow God's grace and His wisdom - to get close.
