Have you ever been told you’re too sensitive?

I know I have. Unfortunately, it’s been intended as a put down. It was mostly when I was growing up.

I thought it was a bad thing when I was younger… probably because I was told that I was too sensitive by people that were attempting to gaslight me.

But being highly sensitive isn't a bad thing. In many cases, this personality trait can actually be a superpower for creating healthy relationships.

I am highly sensitive, and I carry this with pride now. I know that being super sensitive makes me a better person. I understand the needs of my family and my friends, and I am happy to share that the people that deemed me ‘too sensitive’ are no longer in my life.

So I’d like to offer reassurance that if you’ve ever been told that you’re ‘too sensitive’, its not a bad thing. Sensitivity is a great attribute to have!

The world would be a better place if everyone was more sensitive.

Sending love as always,
