I agree with Andrew, and that is an excellent response. I am a pretty sensitive person a lot of the time, and I have been told "you are overly sensitive" before, and that was a stupid thing for someone to say to someone they think is overly sensitive, as if that's somehow going to improve matter (other than making me realize this person wasn't worth my time). But being told "you are overreacting" doesn't sound invalidating. That's a momentary action that can be quickly analyzed and changed if it is true.
