AES21 "you're so sensitive"

It’s not a secret that I am such a sensitive human being, and I have accepted that part of myself. But I hate when people point out me being sensitive in a negative way. First of all, I didn’t just out of the blue became this insanely fragile person. People don’t know how triggering it is for me when someone points that out. For years and years, ever since I was a little girl people saw me being sensitive as a negative thing. But they don’t know my sensitivity is due to many traumatic events in my life. 

Someone saying “you’re so sensitive” to be it sounds like “omg you’re so weak and dramatic” 

I always try to see the positive side of being sensitive. I tend to be more understanding and caring, and I am aware of many other things. I have an amazing emotional awareness, I can sense things around me. And I notice small details that many people can’t really notice. My sensitivity is also protecting me because Im aware of more things and I put more things into consideration. So I can like pre-plan things with a bigger frame to prevent “bad things” from happening. I am so grateful for some of my friends and family that actually see the good in my sensitivity. 

It’s a good thing right that I can actually express my emotion? The people who call me wear because I cry to express my emotions, I think it’s because they can’t do what I can do. Most of them are men, and I don’t understand why they love to bully me for crying. My therapist told me that what matters is you can express your emotion without hurting people, and I think crying is harmless to people around me. So like when I get overwhelmed I just let myself cry. And Im still learning to not feel guilty for crying, it’s not something I should feel guilty about. 

If you are sensitive it doesn’t mean you are weak, you’re just being you, and it’s a good thing. Never be ashamed of your sensitivity, as long as it doesn’t bother your daily life I don’t see it as a problem.
