Thank you, Emmaly, for this incredibly insightful and helpful article. It is helping me to reframe the intensity of my current deep sensitivity and grief related to ecological and human rights issues. I have archived it to delve more and deeper soon and hopefully put more tools to good use. Friends' and loved ones' perpetual advice to "rebalance" my life really not helpful in the moment. My true gifted friends are not as available at the moment- likely sharing a similar emotional overwhem.
I'm so glad you found this helpful Deb! There really aren't enough resources for those of us who are sensitive, intense, deep feelers. The world today can feel extremely overwhelming, but you're definitely not alone. ❤️ Thank you so much for reading! Editing this to add, thank you also for the donation!! That means the world to me 😭❤️

One of my big triggers is when other people are eating cereal and smacking their lips! Full blown body discomfort. 😭
Completely!! Have you heard of misophonia? Really common in ND folks!
How about others opening candy wrappers in the movie theater LOL 😆
“What is easy for the gifted is often hard for others. What is hard for the gifted is often easy for others.”
Man, this one hit me. I have seen this discrepancy with my high sensitivity for years and never thought of it like that.
I'm so glad this resonated Whitney! I have certainly found this paradox to be true in my practice with gifted and sensitive folks.
