LIFE ADDICT RIGHT HERE!!!! I'm really bubbly and sensitive also!!!! (I usually use a lot of exclamation marks, BTW haha). Some people wonder why i'm always so darn happy, and I guess even just being alive is worth smiling about, these days. But I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and I know that I need to not let things get to me.
I feel like the title of your thread and the description of yourself are talking about two different things. :) I'm not a bubbly person by any definition, and I usually let negative things that people say to me roll off my back unless it's particularly unjustified or nasty, but there have been a handful of times where patients have affected me so much, I had to go to a private place to wipe a few tears away.
So, I'm sensitive to kindness and gratitude, but I will also bare my teeth in defense of myself.

good words, thanks
I'm almost always in a good mood. The way I see it, I woke up, got out of bed on my own and am aaox3, got a job, not in jail. Life is good. I laugh a lot but can be deadly serious when I need to be. I find starting a conversation with a smile and "Hi" sets a very good tone with patients and people in general. Sensitive? Not so much.

I am. It's just who I am, and I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I don't need others approval, I just enjoy being nice. I am always smiling and happy, I am nice to new people, agency nurses, etc. Why can't everyone be like me in the medical profession? (kidding)
