I am sensitive but I’m accused of being angry when I am not .
In a test 15 years ago at least , my score for emotional intelligence was 50 out of 55.
Family usually points a fiver at me without taking responsibility for their own actions and holds negative feelings and views for decades precluding true change and trust in creating a much safer foundation .

Because emotionally abusive people do not care about the emotions of other people, they have no problem doing all they can to step all over them. When you show that you are hurt or angry in any way, they become irritated. They are irritated because your feelings make them uncomfortable.
The moment they feel uncomfortable, they blame you, even when they caused their own discomfort by being hurtful towards you. Hypocrisy at its finest. The more they can hurt you, the angrier and more frustrated they become with you.
There is no way to reason with people who are this unfeeling. They can rage, abuse, manipulate, denigrate you and swiftly turn around and call you too sensitive. The mindset to hold is that you are not too sensitive. The sensitivity chip is missing in them.
