im very sensitive. its something me and my therapist process a lot. shes recommended me books for the over sensitive person and has described me as very emphatic. my mom also says im a total empath and likes to talk about all the weaknesses it gives me haha. i just feel feelings very deeply ? i overly feel ? i feel a lot ? point is, anything a normal person feels, i feel 10x as much !
I'm pretty sensitive but over the years I've become very good at hiding just how sensitive I can get. If there's tension in the room it makes me feel really uneasy and I tend to go really quiet. Plus it doesn't take much to set me off if someone says something innocently towards me I instantly take it to heart and it can take a long while for me to get over it internally. Sometimes I hate being sensitive but overall I'd rather feel things deeply than not at all even if that means that I keep those internal feelings to myself.
I'm pretty sensitive. If I get into pretty much any sort of confrontation, I get super anxious and usually cry. If someone else starts crying, I start crying. I have some good ideas as to why I react so strongly, but it's not something I really want to get into too much detail on here. I also have to be very careful about the kinds of media I consume; I can deal with some degree of violence and dark or sad themes, but if it gets past a certain point it becomes deeply upsetting to me and the effect can last for days. Since for me personally, getting spoilers is a lot less of a pain than getting blindsided by something distressing, I usually wind up heavily researching anything I'm interested in beforehand. If there's something in it that I don't feel like I can handle emotionally, I stay away.
I’m more sensitive than I’d like to admit. Two different people could tell me the same thing, and the way they say it will affect how I feel. I can usually tell if someone has a problem with me just by their attitude towards me. I read a lot into certain behaviors. I try my best not to upset others, but there’s a difference between being generally a nice person and changing my life to please others. I definitely won’t change my life to not hurt someone’s feelings. I know some people aren’t going to be okay with the way I live my life, but I try not to associate with those people. Even the smallest confrontation will make me anxious. I try to avoid conflict at all costs. Conflict in general is scary to me. If I feel like something is going to go down, I just walk away from the situation if I can, and hope it’s not too late. Sometimes there is conflict we can’t avoid which sucks, but it is what it is...
