A lot of society thinks that feelings are weak. I have lost friends because I was too sensitive. Oddly, the most sensitive people actually accuse others for being sensitive.

I was very open with my emotions and my sensitivity. I accepted it within myself, and when I found the right people, I learned that me acknowledging my sensitivity was helpful to others who wanted to address their sensitivity. And I became more understanding with grace and less reactive because I chose to embrace the emotions that I was given and I learned to be unafraid of my own emotions.

The people who reject “sensitive people” are the ones who will burst out crying and get overwhelmed the most. That is why other peoples sensitive emotions are overwhelming for them too because they can’t handle it. Some people have come to me years later and now see my sensitivity as a strength after rejecting it, and come to ask me for forgiveness or understanding. Some people, never have and I don’t know where they are in life but I respect where they choose to be.

But acknowledging and sitting with your emotions can make you the strongest one in the room, and fearing your emotions can make you the most scared one in the room. And therapy does nothing for someone who isnt real to themselves.
