Are you a hypersensitive person?
And next thing you know, I'm just in a terrible mood, and I realize that crap. I've taken on other people's energies, other people's problems, and then I feel gross. So it takes me a lot of time to get to a place where I have to be isolated. I have to consciously cleanse my energy. Be like, that's not your emotion. That's not how you're feeling

And also where you can really immerse, have this immersive experience in arts and music and all those are really very beautiful. I feel then I don't know whether sensitive and hypersensitive people will be very emotional. And I believe I am a sensitive person and also emotional because other people's comments or their negative behavior and the way they will be, the looks they will give, all that kind of used to affect me earlier until I started to grow a thick skin over it

And I think I also like to look at it that way, that while it really makes me suffer at times, while it's really hard for me at times to basically process whatever goes on and to just let go of things which affect me, seemingly small things which probably wouldn't affect everyone else, out there. Only some of us. But it is what it is

I wish I could emulate you. You've identified your weakness, and now you're working towards coping with it. And with that weakness, you can also identify the bits that, okay, this is the negative that comes with it, but this is also the positives that come. Very few of us are able to look at the positive sides. We focus so much on negative. And yes, you are very true about people having energies
Hello. Good morning. And it's such a lovely feeling to hear someone else who's gone through the same experiences that I have. It makes my struggle, I feel stronger to face my struggle, because I'm like, okay, there are other people who have this feeling that they are sensitive, sensitive to their environments or sensitive to people. And I really liked how you said that you have developed thick skin over time. And this is what I'm trying to do
And so I have to be very intentional about just being mindful, mindful of what I'm retaining, what I don't, and so on and so forth. And on the other hand, it is very beautiful. I think I can tell that this hypersensitivity, this aspect of myself has literally made me enjoy the simple and beautiful things, as you have mentioned. Right. And. Exactly. It doesn't take much to make you happy. Right
Hello, pile. Good morning. And you made me laugh, you know, when you said that I am not a hypersensitive person and I was like, started laughing. I love your candidness and thank you for your words. I think there is also a maturity when you hear someone's experience and to identify that, okay, this person is working on themselves. And they're not really coming out to say that

Hi, Kendi. Listening to you, I actually felt very nice that you opened your heart out and you talked about your emotional turmoil. So to say what I feel about the topic is, see, there is no grade that this much is sensitivity and this much is hypersensitive. It. We all are just swinging on this hypersensitivity sensitivity grade. In some issues, we are actually hypersensitive. Like, for example, for me, for my kids, I'm hypersensitive, right?

I've learned to work within certain situations because when you have no choice, you kind of just figure out a way to build up a shell in a wall and deal with it. But this was really a very stressful thing for me at one point. And I used to really sit there, and I'm so glad that you said it because I used to really sit there like, this is not me. This is not who I am. Why do I feel like this?

And if it's too much stimuli, when I go to certain places, I like music, don't get me wrong, but let's say I go to a place and it's like hard rock, and I'm like, oh, my God. I can feel my body tense up after a while because the stimulation is just too much for me. And now I can recognize it. I know what it is. I know what it feels like
I think you mentioned your children, like you tend to be hypersensitive with your children in terms of environments, in terms of past experiences, in terms of even personalities. We're not all built the same. We are not all built to handle the same stresses in the same way, truth be told. Right? Some of us are sensitive to stress. So that's the thing, right? So let me also give another example, right?
To the fact that I recently went through a conflict and now it's like, literally like I've internalized a huge portion of it, candy. I'm trying to overcome it and I'm like, why am I not able to just brush it off? What to do? It is what it is, right? So I'm glad. I'm glad that you put your thoughts out here. Because by listening to you, in a way, it helps me understand myself

Yes, there are people who this is an issue for. There are some that have overcome it. I'm just glad that I know what it is. I'm glad that I can share from that space, and I'm glad that I'm okay enough now to be able to tell you about my experience, because sometimes when you're in it, you don't think that you're going to get out over it
