Someone said to me the other day that in relation to psychological trauma there are basically two types of people. Sensitive and insensitive. If you are born with a sensitive nature like I was you are more susceptible to psychologically harmful situations such as bad parenting, abuse, well everything really. It doesn't mean you WILL suffer but you are much more likely to suffer due to your sensitivity.
In some ways and in some circumstances sensitivity can be a gift. It can make us more compassionate to others and more insightful and perceptive of other people's needs.
I often have the feeling though that the world is a very cruel place and yes i am too sensitive for it, so I do sympathise with you. It's very tough nowadays and probably always have been. Some of the great artists have had these kind of temperaments but linked with talent, but in all honesty I'm not even a creative individual, just sensitive and suffering like you!!
for now i'm trying to look to the bigger picture.. when i look to my life, it's missing a lot of pieces.. I didn't find some of them yet and others were there but i lost them.. still, i should appreciate what i have and let go the past..
You sound like me,it sounds like your serorion is low being sensitive not social a.d depressed my doctor prescribed me Citalopram and it works no no thinking about the past and instantly cry no depression and can sleep ask your doctor about it please a.d let me know...
I should appreciate sounds like a lot of pressure. Letting go of the past means to build new experiences. I too believe that our issues arise from this notion of sensitivity. I also think that this sets us up for disappointment. Just like saying I should appreciate. We have to learn to be sensitive towards ourselves. Learn how to build a positive, rewarding future without second guessing whether or not our sensitive emotions are dictating the outcome. I’m often disappointed because I am so sensitive and it just doesn’t have to be that way. We have to find others that are just like us in order to be truly understood.
I most certainly do, you are not alone. I have accepted that I’m a caregiver because of this. You see when you learn how to honor who you are you begin to understand why you react certain ways. When you truly accept that this sensitivity is a gift you will see that things really will change, for the better. It sounds like right now you don’t want to be ok with gift you have. It’s ok to be sensitive and it’s ok that others don’t understand. Your mind can’t change what your eyes don’t see.
Another take on this is be alert to others agenda when they accuse you of being too sensitive. You know your own feelings and never let anyone tell you that you shouldn't feel like that. x
The past is really not the past if it still has the power to effect your now. It might be helpful to examine those things in your past that keep coming to your now, and robbing you of the ability to travel on the path you have chosen, without the drain of constantly battling the voices/incidents that drag you down.
I have found when taking them out and asking questions, you will find 1 or 2 major themes connecting and understanding how they continue to try to tell you who you are; when you are no longer those things. Hope this made sense. Walk on traveler, one day atta time; taking needed times to rest and reflect.
