Am I too sensitive?

[Preeti]

There is a problem with the written word. Sometimes it just doesn't come across as the writer meant.

"Thanks for the quilt. It's beautiful" may mean:

"THANKS for the quilt. It's BEAUTIFUL."

And that is why I prefer to pick up the phone and make a call. Trust me I can "sound" way more excited than I could convey by writing. On the other hand, my sister is like that too - subdued.
One has to wonder - why are you so unhappy with the world in general? But then I guess, I am the one who is hyper all the time. As to your question, TippysMom - No, you are not being too sensitive. I would be hurt by the lukewarm response too. A word of advice - move on to the next exciting quilt or adventure!!!
