Are you drowning in a sea of sensitivity? It's time to walk on water

I just ran across this article and I needed to read it. I’m not quite at swimming yet, I’m still living on guard. I’m like at step 2. I’m having a hard time accepting I’m highly sensitive, but I cannot deny it. It’s not that I’m shy or introverted, no, this is SOMETHING else entirely.

I am ashamed by having this sometimes…because I feel like I’m weak minded, which I know definitely am not. It just sucks when no one around me understands me. It’s awful.

It sucks sometimes…I just hope I get where I need to be someday.

This is the most amazing article on emotions I’ve read EVER!!! I’ve been

trying to figure out how to feel what I feel when I feel it without drowning

in them or worse, ignoring them or shoving them down. So many avenues I’ve

sought to help me to feel balanced have only left me more wanting. They tell

me to think peppy thoughts, to reframe/shift my thinking, to get over it and

stop obsessing. But you actually give me the permission to be me, to listen

to my emotions and hear what they’re trying to tell me. Brilliant, and I

actually cried reading these words. Thank you, thank you so much.
