A Highly Sensitive Person's Life
When you feel joy, discomfort, emotions, and empathy intensely
When you look back at your life, what little memories can you recall where you were made to feel guilty, inadequate, dumb, or unsuccessful about being introverted or highly sensitive?
As a child, I remember being told to “speak up”, “participate more”, “go play with the other kids”, “stop being so shy”, and “get your head out of your book”.
I’ve been traveling a lot lately, and I’ve seen people all over the world who are begging on the street or homeless.
In Thailand, especially, we’ve seen people missing limbs and with severe physical disfigurement. In Bangkok, we saw a woman sitting on the street, begging, with what looked like large tumors hanging off her face.
Sometimes you will see someone missing their legs, lying face down on a busy, dirty, hot sidewalk, with their arms outstretched, holding a cup for donations.
Simply learning about what it means to be an HSP can change the way you see yourself and your place within the world.
