    Sometimes I wish I wasn’t Highly Sensitive. I am tired and I only have so much to give. <br>What she didn’t talk about is that HSP are more often victims of trauma, and wounded healers.

    Sensitive people are GENUINE. &nbsp;We are the ones who care while everyone else walks away.

    This comment section feels like a big support group.

    The opposite of sensitivity is insensitivity, and that is nothing to be proud of. Sensitive people are not weak or broken. They are stronger than the rest - feeling everything to the fullest and still leaving their hearts open. It is not weak to feel something. It is weak to push it away and numb yourself out of fear. True strength is feeling everything and not building walls around your heart.

    &quot;Most HSPs have a genuine urge to create connection and meaning. Because they feel every pain they see, they want to elevate the forgotten, and save the misfortunate.&quot;

    My mom always said &quot;stop being so sensitive!&quot; And that made me even more sensitive.

    “Corporations should invite sensitive people to the table, because without sensitives they risk lacking integrity, innovation and humanity”. Very well said, indeed.

    Sometimes it sucks to be a sponge for everyone else&apos;s emotions.

    This might be the first YouTube comment section I&apos;ve seen in a while where it&apos;s filled with nothing but pleasant and considerate commentators

    Being sensitive does not make you weak always remember that sensitive people often feel hurt more than others but they also feel good feelings like love , empathy , faith more than others and this is what makes them strong . ❤️
