I don't know why I feel like this but I always seem to take things personally and for it to get to me easily. I'm an all rounded person who is ok generally though when something happens I take everything personally but it a nor my fault as that's the kind of person I am and it's never usually me what starts getting worked up about it. Having an argument or someone saying something. What do I do? I'm happyabout myself so why is this a problem?

It's great that you've managed to identify that you do take things personally, but are also aware that it's not fault. I find assessing a situation before going into a full blown emotional wreck helps, being able to look at alternatives, why that comment was made, etc. Just being able to take a step back, and reassure yourself, I'm assuming you've analysed a situation before as you've mentioned it's not your fault.
It could also be down to low self esteem, even though you may be happy with yourself, aspects of low self esteem can crop up, maybe it's about doing gradual tasks to improve your self esteem?
Do keep us updated,

If you're not sure whether it's a self-esteem thing, we've got an article on TheSite that might help you work it out. Might be worth a read
Nothing is ever perfect, however, practice does make it better than the last time you had done something. I guess it's really allowing yourself to push yourself, and getting out of your comfort zone more often. Have you ever taken part in TheSite.org chat's before, they have one on Anxiety coming up soon, which might be a good to sign up to?
TheSite.org will be running a special workshop focussed on anxiety, I think it's in chat, don't hold me on it though - http://vbulletin.thesite.org/showthread.php/171756-Action-on-Anxiety-workshop-Thursday-3rd-July-7-9pm - TheSite.org also have a great article on what is anxiety, which is worth checking out if you have the time!
Would you like to tell us a bit more about situation you've found difficult, or struggled with?
