Sensitivity is a superpower. Oftentimes, sensitivity is associated with negative connotations. If a person feels emotionally volatile, they are termed difficult to be with, peppered with high maintenance, or sometimes even called weak enough to not have their life together.
Herein, what we fail to acknowledge and realize is, that the person who is called high maintenance or soft is the one who has been functioning on such high radar to emotions of own self and of everyone around them. They can sense a change in tone, a change in aura, or even the slightest change in routine behavior. Their emotional recognition patterns are heightened, more like a superpower. How would you feel if you could hear sensitive sonic booms and bear the pain of it every time it occur? You may bleed or even lose your hearing capacity. It is only when we draw tangible parallels that we realize that the events that change or alter our lives are the sonic booms to our emotional sensitivity. It numbs our tongues so that we can’t breathe and bleeds the tears from our eyes.
Processing these emotions, happy or sad, will appear differently to different people. The only thing we can do is not shame ourselves for having heightened sensitivities to emotions. It allows us to feel, help, and share the happiest of highs and endure the lowest of lows. Embrace the superpower of sensitivity.
This one is really nice and touching:)))
Your piece resonated deeply with me, and I wanted to express my appreciation. Your writing skillfully captures the essence of sensitivity as a gift, often overlooked by many. I truly believe that being sensitive is a unique strength, and I take pride in embracing it as a part of who I am. Your words beautifully articulate the importance of understanding and valuing this trait.
