I'm sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time right now. It takes a lot of courage to talk about your problems, and I want you to know that you're not alone. It is necessary to prioritize your mental and emotional health. Remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness; rather, it is a sign of courage and self-awareness. Your feelings are valid, and speaking with a mental health professional can give you with the direction and support you require to overcome these difficult emotions. Reparenting yourself is a powerful step toward healing, but it's alright if it's difficult right now. Healing takes time, and it is a path that requires kindness and patience for oneself. It is important to surround yourself with understanding and supporting people, so lean on those who genuinely care about your well-being. You have the internal power to overcome these challenges, and it's alright to take things one step at a time. Remember that you, above all, deserve love, empathy, and understanding from yourself. If you're at ease, consider sharing your emotions with your mother to help her understand what you're going through. Just know that you are not alone, and that there are people out there who sincerely care about your healing path. Sending you lots of virtual hugs right now. Bless you dear. 💫💕🙏✨💖

One of the ways I deal with the world is tears, Period. There I things that are my reality that make no sense to certain others, like "I can't look at all pictures indefinitely. Some of them hurt my heart too much, and others make me sick." I am the guardian of my own eyes and ears and mind.

@@TheCenteroftheUniverse It's very inspiring to see how you're accepting your feelings and taking charge of your own well-being. Your approach of being a safeguard of your own eyes, ears, and mind is admirable. We all have different experiences and sensitivities, and it takes bravery to identify what has a strong impact on us. Your openness and vulnerability in expressing this resonates to many people who may be experiencing similarly. Continue to recognize your emotions while taking actions toward your own healing and growth. Your experience serves as a reminder that self-care and self-awareness are important parts of handling the world around us. Thank you for opening up and expressing your thoughts. ❤❤❤

@@yourinnerchildmatters The book will have one of these two words, Irony/Ironic, and/or the phrase "Goodbye Miss Gull Point." In my life irony is almost a solid substance, like phlogiston. In retrospect it seems obvious that my steps were guided. In the moment it was like the Wild, Wild West. There will never be another generation of women like those who changed American society by 1) saying "Hello" to guys like me, and then inviting us up for a nightcap. Bless each and every one. They realized that we weren't dangerous, certainly, and mostly just confused. There were a number of semi-dumb songs in the sixties about "Dancin'" and "Romancin'." I paid no mind, even as I sang along. I will now tell you two things. I followed my heart this lifetime and I got everything (within reason) that I wanted. From the real drum set to the girl, the motorcycle, the writing talent, my relationship to Truth, the speedboat, the cars, THAT GIRL, I followed my heart and I was always grateful for what I did manage to "get," both physically and intellectually. The girls were the stars of the era, including and especially all the unsung single Moms that the 'Nam had created. Few can name all the places I abide. Such as in front of the television as the body bags are unloaded on the screen six or seven years before I would be officially eligible for the Selective Service draft. Or when Kennedy's funeral cortege went by all day long. Or in Memphis when Dr. King was assassinated, just like Jack and Bobby and Malcolm There was no "lone nut" out to get Jack Kennedy. There was, for a moment, so much lead and steel and gelatin and who knows what else in the air above the Presidential limo that Texas midday in autumn 1963 that Texas Governor Connolly screamed, "My God, they're going to kill us all ..." The fascists sense their moment. We must do everything possible to dissuade them at every turn.

You are Amazing~Your Mom is TOXIC~so sorry hun. It took years of hardship and my health from my narc adult son & family...TO FINALLY Walk Away. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE with your mom❤

I can not express how much your message resonates with me and many others who share the gift of being a highly sensitive person (HSP). Your comments clearly reflect the heart of what it means to experience life on a deeper level, and it's truly touching to know that there are similar souls that understand the unique journey we walk on. Being an HSP has its problems, but it also offers doors to a world of richness and beauty that others may not notice. We value authenticity and genuineness in our social relationships because we are strongly affected by noise, shallowness, and dominating environments. It's like finding a sanctuary of peace, compassionate souls, and creative brains, where we can actually grow and be ourselves. I admire your constant love for your HSP nature, realizing that you find eternal happiness in solitude. Embracing our basic characteristics and the beauty of alone is a rare and valuable gift. You have a special ability to connect with others in meaningful ways because you comprehend the depth of emotions and have the ability to sense and feel things beyond the surface. Remember that being an HSP is a wonderful and rarely seen gift that allows us to appreciate life's beauties on a deeper level. Thank you for taking the time to share your views and thoughts. It's great when we find a community where our souls feel at home. Let us continue to appreciate and embrace our true selves, seeking peace in the beauty that surrounds us. On your journey, I wish you many peaceful moments and true connections. Bless You dear! ❤️🙏 With heartfelt appreciation, Your Inner Child Matters

@@yourinnerchildmatters We have never met, but we are already friends. It's an HSP thing. The others will never understand. But that's totally fine. We are the everyday poets. The brooding and searching. We are in constant search of beauty, meaning, stillness and gentle adventure. We usually take refuge in our senses. In our own Shire and Narnia we are at home and we are never bored. As an HSP, sooner or later you learn methods and techniques to survive. I've become a bit of a social ninja. I just have to disappear sometimes. Quite often. And I have become a master at ghosting people. Some people I just have to avoid. I travel alone. Going to the cinema alone. Eating at a restaurant alone. Meditating in abandoned cemeteries alone and taking long walks. If I see an empty seat in public transport without people around me, it feels like winning the lottery! Thank you for your kind and intelligent text. I agree with everything. When I am with myself for myself, I look up at the sky and say: Thank heaven that I am who I am. My HSP is my greatest gift. It often hurts my soul when I am among ordinary people. But it's worth it. PS. If I win the lottery, I will never work. Just visit abandoned park benches and read Lord Byron, Buddha's wisdom and Marcus Aurelius. Like a cool Jedi who walks the earth. Herbal tea is my best friend. And my library card.

Dear HSP friend, Your sincere message touched me greatly, and it's truly impressive how we can connect as kindred souls despite never meeting in person. It's an HSP thing, a lovely connect that differentiates us unique in the nicest manner. Your beautiful description of our shared journey as daily poets, continually seeking beauty, purpose, serenity, and gentle adventure, offers a clear image of the world we occupies within our own Shire and Narnia. I couldn't agree more; the others might not understand, but that's fine. You have found comfort in our senses, and we are always at home and never bored in the sanctuary of our inner worlds. I admire how strong you are as an HSP, mastering the art of survival in this sometimes-dangerous world. Being a social ninja and understanding when to take time for oneself are important ability to have. Accepting alone can provide great strength and self-discovery. Taking those alone adventures, whether to the movies, restaurants, or abandoned cemeteries, demonstrates how capable you are to find calm in the quiet moments. Your appreciation for your HSP personality as your greatest gift is very inspiring. It takes courage to deal with the emotional depth that comes with being extremely sensitive, especially when it conflicts with regular people's experiences.But your honesty and self-awareness are admirable, and I feel they improve not only your life but also the lives of those who have been blessed to know you. Your vision of a world in which you might explore your passions by reading Lord Byron, Buddha's wisdom, and Marcus Aurelius on deserted park benches is a beautiful idea. The concept of becoming a cool Jedi and walking the earth with your library card and herbal tea as faithful companions is absolutely interesting. Thank you for your expressiveness and sincerity in sharing what you think. It's been a great pleasure to connect with someone who shares what I believe in. Let us embrace our HSP selves, enjoy in the fullness of our experiences, and find joy and meaning in our lives. With Warmest Regards, Your Inner Child Matters Channel 💕❣❤

@@yourinnerchildmatters People like you make me grateful that I have Wifi connection. I live about 15 minutes' walk from a medieval church. Going to walk there now and meditate a bit. Thank you for being you. PS. Listen and read the lyrics to the song "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" by The Smiths. A song we all HSP people can relate to. Blessed be.

@@Lexthebarbarian thanks once again. The Smiths' "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" is a powerful and timeless song, especially for very sensitive people like ourselves. The lyrics express powerful feelings and experiences. Music may be a wonderful way to connect with our emotions and find comfort in shared experiences. May your walks and thoughts near the church continue to bring you calm and inspiration. Remember that you are not alone on this path. We're all in this together, and we're all here to support and understand one another. Be blessed! 🙏🙏

thank you so much for sharing your insight in here. I completely agree with you! Setting limits and surrounding ourselves with positivity are of the utmost importance for our mental health. Privacy may be very rejuvenating, allowing us to focus on self-care while blocking out any negative influences. Continue to prioritize your own personal growth and happiness! 🌟❤️.

Difficult to find supportive friends/social relations. Usually people are ready to drag you down.

@@elenal2012you have to nurture yourself, avoid those who seek to bring you down but don’t stop going out to people, only do it casually

@@elenal2012 It is true that making genuine and supporting friends can be difficult. It is important to your personal development to surround yourself with positive and encouraging people. Remember that it is all about quality, not quantity. Continue to seek out those that motivate and uplift you.👍💛

Dr. Elaine Aron, an American psychologist, began researching high sensitivity in 1991. Dr. Elaine Aron is a highly sensitive person (HSP) herself. She established the terminology and has written books about the trait and has a website about it as well. Her research and continuing expertise about high sensitivity should be acknowledged here.

Very inspiring! Your bravery and courage are truly inspiring. Remember that your unique characteristics as an HSP and empath are treasures that provide joy to the world. Continue your healing and self-discovery path. Much love and support to you! 🌟

You obviously have a lifetime subscription to "Victimology Today" and this man lives on your blood.

Just something to think about for you, you probably don't have ADHD. Growing up with abuse creates a wiring of the brain and symptoms that look a lot like ADHD, but they're actually trauma injuries. A lot of people with trauma injuries get misdiagnosed with ADHD.

​@@medusaslair Yes, it is important to know how trauma may impact mental health and manifest symptoms similar to ADHD. Understanding and helping those who have had such experiences requires trauma-informed treatment. Thank you for sharing this insight!❤❤❤

@@medusaslair Sorry but I was diagnosed with inatentive ADHD by a Dr. Doing the meds. I had a horrible time in school back then. Girls were often overooked, like me.

Thank you very much for your kind words! You have beautifully caught the essence of art and sensibility. Indeed, vulnerability can be both a difficulty and a great strength in the field of creation. It's lovely to see how effortlessly artistic individuals find comfort and connection with one another. By accepting our sensitivity, we can go deeper into the emotions which drive our creation. Continue to shine your unique personality to inspire others on this wonderful journey of self-expression. 💫

Sometimes, help is all you need. Instead of thinking someone is taking advantage.

and gravitate towards drugs :P

To be honest, as hypersensitive and introverted person I gravitate more towards extroverted and cool people.

I’m autistic and highly sensitive I was abused by everyone from a young age so I learned to isolate myself

Your true and heartfelt comment has truly touched me. It takes great bravery to open up about your experiences, especially when they include such deep emotional sensitivity. You are not alone in your feelings, as many people who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) and experience similar difficulties. First and foremost, please understand that your emotions are normal. Your empathy for others, whether celebrities, musicians, or anybody else, is a lovely attribute, even if it can be overwhelming at times. It is important to prioritize your mental and emotional health. Seeking help is a big step, and it shows strength, not weakness. There are experts who specialize in assisting HSPs in managing their emotions and navigating a world that can feel overwhelming at times. Remember that you have a supportive community on UKposts, and you may continue to participate with content that makes you happy. You don't have to be on social media if it's causing you anxiety; instead, prioritize your mental health. There are people who will listen and support you if you ever feel the need to discuss or share more about your experiences. Reach out to friends, family, or experts for advice and support on your road to better managing your emotions as an HSP. Thank you for sharing your story again, and please take care of yourself. You, like everyone else, deserve joy and peaceful in your life. 💙🙏✨💖

Me too 😢

@yourinnerchildmatters thank you! I appreciate the kindness and empathy back to me as I don't have a big amount of support. It feels lonely and overwhelming at times. However, as you stated there is a supportive community on YT, and I am thankful for that. I am looking for a good therapist who can listen and give advice on how to handle everything. With the holidays, I want to be happy, I feel alot of sadness for loss of my Dad and others I don't see. I try to remember the reason for Christmas and push forward. Some days it gets to where I don't want to move out of bed. Thank you, and I apologize for the late response. 💜

I quit Tik Tok, and am limiting Instagram. I love UKposts because I can learn..I'm learning how to function again as an HSP.

The journey you are on of self-discovery and strength has truly inspired me. It takes huge courage to rise above other people's judgments and embrace your genuine self. Your story reminds us all that sensitivity is a beautiful trait that brings depth and authenticity to every aspect of our lives. Continue to be your authentic self, and may your newfound freedom bring you never-ending joy and peace and serenity ❤️💕✨

@@yourinnerchildmatters Thank you for your very kind words. It is so hard. I have conflicting feelings on her passing, sadness but also intense relief and I feel so guilty because of this that I'm now in therapy. I never felt good enough in her eyes and it still hurts so much. I have cried so much over the years then to be told I'm over sensitive made me cry even more. I'm now learning to show the true me, learning to drop the mask and be morr confident in who I really am although there is still some way to go. It's so good and reassuring to read the comments of fellow sensitive people. I don't feel so alone. ❤️

Amazingly written thank you for sharing❤

@@jeusu.m 🙏✨💖

Yay for you.

I worked at hiding my feelings as they can be seen as a sign of weakness

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story with us. Your openness and sensitivity touched me. It's impressive to see how far you've gone after suffering such a difficult childhood. The things you say reflect your strength and determination. Remember that healing is an ongoing process, and you've made some important progress. Your experience is an inspiration to others who are struggling, showing that it is possible to turn misery into improvements. Continue to embrace your sensitivity and use it to encourage empathy and understanding. I'm sending you so much love and support as you continue your journey of self-discovery and healing. ❤️ Have a blessed Sunday!🙏✨💖

This has been my experience also. Learning how to navigate out of it successfully has been a nice feeling so far.

@@kazbah1217 I'm happy to hear that you've been able to navigate through similar experiences successfully! 🚀 Keep your positive mindset!❤🙏

Hello there, Thank you for sharing your points of view and being truthful about your experiences. It takes strength and self-awareness to express vulnerability, and it's wonderful when you embrace your sensitivity with such strength and self-awareness. Remember that being sensitive is not a weakness; it is a wonderful part of who you are. It enables you to connect truly with feelings and to understand others on greater depths. While it may have felt like a burden at times, keep in mind that it has also given you empathy, compassion, and a unique point of view. You've realized something important: some words as well as people simply don't matter in the deeper perspective of things. It is important to prioritize your physical and mental wellness. Processing your emotions and allowing yourself to sit with them are important parts of growth and healing. Be kind with yourself; we all experience pain and difficult circumstances. But also appreciate your courage in confronting those issues and seeking ways to comfort your soul.Remember that you are not alone. Many others share your sensitivity, and they, too, are on their journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. By accepting yourself and finding solutions for your feelings, you motivate others to do the same. Continue to be true to yourself, and let your compassion and kindness shine over. More sensitive souls that can sympathize and have a positive effect on others are needed in the world. I'm sending you virtual hugs and love. Continue to go forward with grace and love! ❤❤❤

Remember, all, since we are so misunderstood AT OUR LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING, we are likely asking the impossible of some. What I mean is some of us were born with our receptors "Set to eleven," permanently. There are tremendous advantages to hyper vigilance and better-than-normal vision, hearing and reaction time, trauma does damage that is the equivalent to physical brain damage. I lived it, I know it's true. I did not know I had dissociated at 15 watching my Mom last breaths as a "surprise" suicide, again at 22 with my 43-year-old polymath, best-friend father's heart-related death, and ten months later my Shaman-without-portfolio, my new definition of "Beauty" and "Love" was stabbed to death and left to bleed out in a snowbank. So many things had to "break right," literally as well as figuratively, for me to BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW, the mind boggles. If I had dissociated in a different way, I might very well be a murderer, because I know who killed her. Alternately, if the cops hadn't blown the investigation, they would have found me in my dissociated (and mentally safe) state and immediately forced me to face what was, for me, un-faceable - if I wished to stay "sane" - the loss of the most magical human I had ever known on top of the best/smartest/most inspirational mentor and father a boy/young man could desire. Since I "broke" upon hearing the news, I had never grieved any of them properly. I tried to hide from grief for forty years. Please believe me when I tell you, "It can't be done." Now close to finishing year three since "un-breaking," it feels as if I might be near some imaginary "halfway" point on the journey to some imagined place of inner calm. I've become my Dad, and I can hear his voice still, talking and joking, God Bless "low-interference affect," as this memory is called, but the girl ... words' failure in scope to circumscribe her beauty in one sentence tells you all you need to know about words. It takes hundreds and hundreds of words just to get close enough to see the distant starlight in by which I was long ago irradiated when it was sunlight warming a grateful and devoted suitor. Upon her murder I had not lost a fiancee or romance, a girl, or a plan ... I had lost everything - including my mind. Where before, excellence had been a mark to aim for, I now "settled" for "good enough," because that was all I was now capable of. End of Book I For my brothers and sisters who suffer from all the different kinds of sensitivities, please feel a big hug ... I'm nothing special, but YOU are. Do not mistake "Not having been noticed yet" with "Unworthy of Notice." I know the feeling when it seems that your heart is too big, too big for this body, maybe this world, eh? But NO! We are here to LEARN HOW TO SHAPE (Y)OUR WORLD. Now, begin doing it. If you DO nothing, NOTHING is what will happen. No one else is going to live your life. No one else is going to be the one looking back from an old person's body saying "Boy I'm glad I didn't assert myself and take control, to live like I wanted to, AS SCARED AS I WAS ..." There, I will have to write a different book to describe my own process, my own "weirdness" that had to be trained to work toward what I wanted from life. Know what? I got Everything I TRULY wanted in this life. It would be a "W" on the list. Here's the kicker: I did not know I was fulfilling every major life dream at the time. What I DID know was that I was "following my heart" every step of the way. I was protected from harm by some power greater than myself. And that power had no problems with some serious mf partying. But nothing STUPID. IOW, do everything possible to maximize your safety. I received a couple of "passes" on stuff I had no right to walk away from, fwiw. Reminder: Every new person you meet only knows what you show them. "Control the illusion." Be the friend you want to have.

Some words and some people don't matter thank u... So much for these lines...

Thankyou!

Thank you ❤️it's a struggle, but that's great advice

Your heartfelt comment touched me deeply. It's incredible to hear that you've found a sense of belonging and comfort here. We all crave a space where we can be ourselves without judgment, and I'm honored that you feel that way about our community. Your journey of self-discovery is truly inspiring, and it's never too late to find your place in the world. Thank you for sharing this beautiful sentiment with us. We're here for you, and I'm sending you warm virtual hugs. Welcome home! 🌟❤️

That is such an important lesson, and I couldn't agree with you more! It's very interesting how meditation and self-awareness may help us understand our own emotions from external energies. Your journey toward developing awareness is very inspiring. Embracing your feelings rather than fighting them is a significant change in thinking that can lead to more peace and understanding. It shows your development and self-awareness. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your story. It is sure to inspire others on their own paths of self-discovery and emotional well-being! 🙏💫

I can relate to this so much. Working as a nurse trainee almost literally killed me due to the overflow of agony and grieve in my surroundings that I couldn't tell apart from my own traumatic childhood experiences. It was all way too much every day. I wished someone would have explained to me what I was doing back then, nursing everyone's emotional states like the emotional sponge I was :D it was a nightmare and I couldn't find much sleep for months, after 2 years I had to leave. Then, the real journey of healing began and boy have I come far, with a lil help :) Wishing you (and everyone else) all the best

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us in here. It takes courage to open up about being a highly sensitive person. It is understandable that tears sometimes fall even when you don't want them to, as sensitivity can often bring forth deep emotions. It might be difficult to find a balance between being detached from other people's suffering and remaining true to your intuitive nature. It is important to respect your feelings while still taking care of yourself. Your sensitivity can be a wonderful trait that allows you to empathize and connect on a deeper level with others. It's interesting to hear you express yourself through movement to music. Dancing does not have to follow any exact choreography or technicality. Your own movement style is a sort of self-expression, and it's amazing that you've discovered a way to connect with music that speaks to you. Creativity manifests itself in a variety of ways, and it is not restricted to traditional artistic hobbies such as drawing or playing musical instruments. Connecting with music and expressing yourself through dance is a creative outlet in and of itself. It's important to remember that creativity is a personal journey with no set rules or limitations on what it can be. Embrace your sensitivity and the way you express yourself. Your authenticity shines through your movement, and it's wonderful to see. Continue exploring into the depths of your emotions and move to the beat that calls to your soul. I wish you continued happiness and pleasure on your individual path of self-expression. Best wishes, Your Inner Child Matters Channel

@@yourinnerchildmatters Thank you for your wise words! 🙏

Thank you to both of you, for opening up and writing this comment and to the person behind the channel for your thorough reply! It was very uplifting for myself too, also as my experience seems to be very similar to yours😊 Perhaps you may like to express yourself in writing (absolutely freely, I never liked writing in school or trying to be immaginative or create a good story, however due to not being able to express my self and my feelings at all and losing my mind along with it, I took the advice of a conscious friend and started journaling. Along with meditation and yoga. I started to awaken. It gave me an incredible access to my inner child, also painful memories which is part of healing, growing awareness and lots of wisdom as well (in comparison to before)! Sometimes when it is hard I start with "right now I don't know what to write, but I am feeling like....." and then suddenly I end up with a few pages without thinking about it at all 😊 just thought of sharing it with you and whoever reads! All the best to you ❤

@@aliasspitzburger6590 Thank you so much for sharing your sincere comment and personal journey. It's very wonderful to learn how journaling, meditation, and yoga have impacted your life. Your story has a strong emotional resonance, and it's wonderful to see how you've embraced self-expression and self-discovery. Opening up about our vulnerabilities and experiences can be a wonderful way to connect with those who have had similar struggles. It's happy to know that our replied comments brought you comfort and hope. Remember that you are not alone on this journey of healing and growth. The way you described your journaling approach demonstrates the transforming potential of reflection and self-awareness. It's interesting how, by releasing any expectations or judgments, we may access the depths of our emotions and thoughts. The connection with your inner child and your own healing process demonstrate your resilience and strength. Thank you for sharing the "right now I don't know what to write, but I am feeling like..." technique. It's a lovely reminder that we don't necessarily have to have everything worked out right away. When we allow ourselves to be honest and open, the words sometimes come effortlessly. On your journey, I wish you continued growth, wisdom, and self-discovery. May your writings and experiences continue to impact others who read them. Best wishes to you as well, and may your path be filled with love and light. ❤ Bless you dear

I can totally relate to this!

Recognizable! Is turning your back and walking away a solution for you?

@@livinglifetothefullest22 I ultimately did but the damage had already been done.

I have the same problem. Why am I afraid to defend myself?

i also dealt with narcisists my whole life and i can tell you 1 word about it that you must do or you will suffer, LEARN TO STAND AND DEFEND YOURSELF. If you won't do that 1 thing, you will continue to get hurt by them cuz they got no limits from taking from others. Wish you well and happy life.

You have certainly highlighted the good part about increased sensitivity. It does, in fact, imply increased emotional intelligence, which is an important asset for growth as an individual and improved social relationships. Learning to appropriately make use of this sensitivity can be a great tool for managing every type of situations. Thank you for giving such an interesting viewpoint! 🌟

THIS! In addition to a few other comments, THIS! Having pets was traumatic, because they get abused, neglected, sick or die. I worked very hard to protect myself from I ages of the reality of what people do to each other, their animals, the land they live on. I have loved my dogs as most people love their families. I STILL have great LOVE for my DNA donors and 3 siblings. But some of the things they did...anyway, having sensitivity for objects like teddy bears, is something I still fight. I have actually death-cleaned twice to remove potential triggering objects when I was tasked first with cleaning out my G'parent's home, and later, all the accumulated stuff my Mother should have known to throw out, before whoever cleaned her house, could find them. Even in death, she left the ground strewn with landmines. I will not do this to anyone else...

Put In place of objects!!! Yes!!!

I’m INFJ as well. I feel like I’ve embraced bitterness long ago only an attempts to harden. I don’t know how else to deal with it except to drink alcohol :(

Without a doubt, Miss Monique! Your determination and courage reflect through your journey as an HSP, INFJ, and person suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyolitis Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Your mother's wisdom is truly impressive; she takes life one step at a time, trusting in God's provision. 🌟🙏 Sending you a lot of love and positive vibes and best wishes from Your Inner Child Matters Channel

Hello there! It's great to connect with a fellow INFJ. I understand how difficult it is to deal with bitterness. Keep in mind that you are not alone on this journey. Instead than turning to alcohol, which may provide short relief, why not try mindfulness, creative activities, or connecting with supportive communities? It all comes down to finding healthy strategies to deal with those feelings. Remember that embracing positivity and seeking healthy coping techniques might result in healthier and happier outcomes. You'll be fine! You've got this! 🌼

Yes and 🙏🏻 Amen ♥️ God bless you! Thanks for your reply, just beautiful ♥️

Me too! I am chronically ill (currently seeing specialist but still no diagnosis) and I am highly sensitive. If I could turn down my sensitivity dial I would, I think it’s partially why I’ve become ill. I’ve also unfortunately dealt with a few narcissistic individuals in my personal life which has been very damaging. I pray and seek to have healing and peace in my mind, body and soul.

Definitely it makes perfect sense! You have beautifully expressed a profound fact regarding one's personal growth and emotional well-being. Recognizing that our own expectations influence how we see and respond to the behaviors of others is an important step toward inner peace. It shows your self-awareness and strength in controlling your emotions. Continue maintaining this mindset, and you'll find more serenity and contentment on your journey. Be well, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!. Bless You

Thank you for being so open about your thoughts and feelings. It takes great bravery to open up about your experiences, and I want you to know that you are not alone. Many of us experience periods of feeling strange or out of place, and it is typically during these moments that we find our unique characteristics.Your sensitivity and creative thinking are gifts that enable you to see the world in a profoundly different way. While it can be difficult at times, this perspective can bring significant beauty and understanding to your life as well as the lives of people around you. It is clear that you have a unique capacity to connect with the world on a deeper level, recognizing small wonders that others may overlook.

@@g.flesch9731 thank you for your kind words, bless you❤♥🙏

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your personal journey with us. It's amazing how you've accepted and embraced your special characteristics. Empathy and sensitivity to the feelings of others are truly special strengths, even if they might feel like a burden at times. It's inspiring to see how you've grown older and learnt to control and even embrace these qualities of yourself. Self-care and isolation are great ways to recharge and keep in touch with your feelings. Remember that you are not alone in your feelings. Many people can identify with what you've described, and your openness can help others on their own paths to self-acceptance. Maintain your integrity, and thank you for sharing your story with us. 🙏✨💖

Thank you for sharing your insights!. You make an important point about sensitive persons who face difficulties. Everyone, regardless of their sensitivities, must be treated with care and respect. Understanding and empathy can go a long way toward making the world a more compassionate place. Let us all work together to break the cycle of negativity and encourage understanding in our interactions with one another. "Cheers to a brighter future!"

This is not a sentiment sensitive people tend to have.

I see what you are saying but often those people only live a half life, to reach the heights, you have to take the lows

It's wonderful to hear about your journey of self-discovery and empowerment! Your point of view is truly inspiring. High sensitivity is a unique talent, and it's encouraging to see how you've used it to make the most of it. Your point about criticism that comes from others' fears and unsolved issues is right point. It serves as a reminder to never let the negativity of others keep us back. thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. Accepting and developing our genuine selves are vital lessons that can benefit us all. Continue your journey and inspire people with your story! 🌟✨💪

Mind if I ask how you did that? Some tips would be great

Indeed, hypervigilance can heighten our sense of awareness, but finding balance is important.Teaching our nervous system to distinguish between real and perceived threats allows us to let go of draining thoughts and beliefs. It's a path that allows us to reclaim our energies and live our lives more genuinely 💫💕🙏✨

Absolutely beautiful words! It's very motivating to learn how you've used your sensitivity as a gift to teach yourself great life lessons. Your point of view on the value of self-improvement and learning the art of control is right point. Life is a journey of understanding how to strike a balance between fitting in and remaining true to yourself. At 70 years old, your wisdom serves as an inspiration for those on the same journeys. Continue to shine and share your wonderful insights! 🌟🌱

You are so welcome! thanks for watching. have a blessed sunday!

Ahh thank you so much. ❤️

It is good to see your post, because I haven't heard another hsp mention sensitivity to the world at large. This is a much bigger issue for me than sensitivity to people immediately around me. My heart constantly aches for children, people with mental health issues, victims of abuse. Right now my heart is breaking for the people on Maui. Every time there is a mass shooting, I feel like I can't bear it. I am very close to the Lord though and I believe that we are meant to be witnesses to humanity's pain, and ambassadors of love and caring. Some get angry when I say this, but for me it is true. Our role is very important in ways we can't always understand.💖

@@christinastateham3048 Reading your comment touched my heart. Your point of view on being highly conscious of the world's problems resonates deeply. It shows your empathy and compassion that you are sensitive to the suffering of others, whether they are children, individuals suffering from mental illness, or victims of tragic circumstances. Your connection to the larger human experience, as well as your belief in bearing witness to this sadness while spreading love and care, are profound and inspiring. Continue to shine as an ambassador of empathy and understanding. What you do, as you've wonderfully expressed, is profoundly important in ways that may go beyond our present understanding.🌟 💫💕🙏✨

First and foremost, I want to thank you for taking the time to share your opinions and experiences as an artist and musician. Nietzsche's comparison of the artist and the soldier as true fighters is interesting and it's clear that you resonate with this notion on a deep level. Your sensitivity, emotional depth, and expressive personality are all great characteristics that will help you on your artistic path. Artists like you have a special capacity to put emotions, thoughts, and perspectives into their field of expertise, whether it is music, acting, or another kind of artistic expression. This process frequently necessitates the bravery of going into the depths of your soul and confronting both the light and darkness within them. By doing so, you're not only asserting yourself but also offering a piece of your vulnerability to the world, which is incredibly brave. The connection that you make between Grace Jones and Klaus Kinsky's belief that expressing oneself by means of art is a type of "aggressiveness and violence" is interesting. In this sense, "aggressiveness" may be properly defined as a passionate assertiveness, a determination to speak your truth without holding back. And "violence," in this context, might be referring to the a significant effect and emotional resonance your art has on others. Indeed, art has the power to stir emotions, challenge perspectives, and provoke thoughts, much like a warrior charging fearlessly into battle. It takes incredible courage to disclose your innermost feelings and ideas to the world, and it is through this process that you form your artistic identity and contribute to the beautiful patchwork of human creation. Continue to embrace your sensitivities and your work as a form of self-expression. Your desire to share yourself through your art not only enriches your own life, but it also has the ability to touch and inspire many others. As you continue your path as an artist and musician, remember that it is your unique voice and authenticity that make your creations genuinely remarkable. Best wishes in your artistic endeavors, and may your creations continue to connect with everyone around the world. Best wishes, YOUR INNER CHILD MATTERS Channel

I’m over that now. I can think so far ahead and break my own heart. 😢

love this - so resonating x

So beautifully expressed! Hypersensitivity is a genuinely special gift that allows us to connect closely with people on a soulful level. It all comes down to being aware and compassionate, accepting both the joys and the pains that surround us. Your point of view on this is truly inspiring.

Thanks, genuinely thank you. spoke from the heart when I commented.

We are also aware of the evil around us... It makes me sick to my stomach. Up to my 30s I always tried to find excuses for the nasty behaviours of people, I can't do it anymore, I got chronically ill and bedridden despite trying to see the good. Sometimes there is no good. I lied to myself like a fool. Sometimes we also have to wear a mask. To keep up with this materialistic world full of ignorant, arrogant, demonic people..

It's not a gift, it's a curse. It makes a man feel weaker than the weakest of all women. You needa man up but you just can't control it and it often comes with OCD's and tons of other mental issues. I wish I was maniac, I wish I was emotionless, I wish I was villain, I wish I was robotic.

I'm very happy to hear you reflect on the importance of sharing emotions and thoughts with the correct people. Your environmental awareness and sensitivity are really valuable. It's good that you may find comfort in music, nature, painting, and other activities. Interactions that are meaningful make a difference. Keep in mind that your honesty shines through in your material, drawing an audience that appreciates and connects with your message.

I completely agree! It is important to create techniques and tools for dealing with high sensitivity. Following your instincts and respecting yourself are important parts of improving sensitivity while maintaining emotional well-being. Your path to accepting sensitivity seems really motivating. It's wonderful how you've evolved from being overwhelmed by other people's emotions to now valuing your sensitivity as a source of love and joy. Continue to spread positive energy! 💕🌟, Bless you!

Your post intrigued me. I’m confused about being highly sensitive and people saying they are an empath and they’ve said I’m an empath and sensitive. Some people say they are gifts. For me I see them as a result of trauma causing a lack of emotional boundaries, emotional garbage can. What’s the truth?

@joanhr5928 while the source of this receptivity may come from trauma, once you learn to set boundaries with grace and understand what your "feelings" are or what they're telling you, life becomes clearer, easier, more flexible, more compassionate and understanding, less prone to allow anyone to abuse you in any way visible or invisible. It's like an innate lie detector no one can mess with. Everything in this life will go as far as you are curious to take it. I had no choice. I started having overwhelming emotions and thoughts to the point I couldn't go to the store anymore and I wanted to understand why. I realized thoughts and feelings are sort of "contagious" and if you allow certain new ideas into your life, such as idea all that clutter can be cleared, all that noise can be quiet, all that confusion isn't just yours... To me it was like new discovery. Sense of power comes back, healing happens naturally as you continue choosing different experiences, actions, beliefs around yourself and the world around you. For some it was easy, for me it was long, confusing, on and off process. All depends on how much trauma, how difficult it is to set boundaries, how easy it is to accept new ideas... I kept following my intuition. Like you I kept being curious and asking questions. Different people out of nowhere showed up and taught me things. "When student is ready the teacher appears" sort of thing. Nowadays lots of info and ideas on it. Make sure to follow what feels right to you and let go of anything that doesn't and see how far it takes you. I suggest exploring ideas on "awakening, understanding emotions, energy work, spiritual perspective on life being multi dimensional (just because we don't see it doesn't mean it's not there). Hope this helps a bit and all the best to you 💕

Thank you for taking the time to share your profoundly personal and wonderful journey with us. Your tale definitely resonates with many of us who have experienced obstacles and cultural pressures that have attempted to repress our creative spirits. Your determination as well as willingness to pursue your passions in the face of difficulties is absolutely admirable. It's wonderful to learn how you've regained your path, not only as a writer but also as a multi-talented artist, ranging from piano to digital sculpture and music production. Your pursuit of these artistic endeavors shows the importance of following one's heart. Your suggestions are quite helpful. Being loyal to oneself, especially in the face of adversity, is a powerful lesson for young people dealing with conformity demands. The story that you tell highlights how, with perseverance and self-belief, one can overcome difficulties and achieve one's goals. Congratulations on your new book! It's a tremendous achievement, and I'm confident that your creative journey will continue to inspire and encourage others. Continue to follow your dreams, and may your artistic endeavors bring you unending happiness and fulfillment. You've shown that it's never too late to pursue what you want in life, which is a priceless lesson in and of itself. 📚🎨🎹🎶✨

thank you for sharing your thoughts. I admire your point of view! Being an INTJ empath is a one-of-a-kind adventure, and your insight into finding pleasure in freedom and courage is very inspirational. Your courage in embracing loneliness while avoiding loneliness is admirable. Continue to shine your light 🌟❤️.

@@yourinnerchildmatters sure. I've done a lot of reading and watching documentaries on how an INTJ develops. I was neglected as a child by my parents. After going through the emotions of anger and rage I learned that self love, self admiration and self respect superceded what had happened to me. Earl Nightingales videos are excellent. He teaches is we are the sum total of our thoughts, so think positive. Also, personally, I read what the top 20 things successful men do. I incorporate that into my daily habits. Anything else, just ask

Thank you for sharing your important viewpoint! Many people who feel sensitive or different may, in fact, be on the neurodivergent spectrum, which includes diseases such as ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, despraxia, and discalcula. knowledge and accepting these qualities of ourselves can be life-changing, resulting in increased self-awareness, acceptance, and a deeper knowledge of our individual abilities. If you relate with these emotions, getting professional help and knowing more about neurodiversity can be a rewarding path of self-discovery. 💖 💖

@@sarahhanby2457 I am sorry to hear this. I hope you find the peace you are looking for. Find support groups and learning more about my conditions and so developing my own awareness and understanding of myself and needs have helped me immensely. I wish you the best for your journey.

​@@yourinnerchildmattersThey are not diseases!! You need to be careful with your language! They are neurological differences/conditions but ASD and ADHD are not diseases. Also things like dyslexia, dyspraxia etc. while they are standalone conditions of themselves are also what's known as co-occurring, co-morbidities of conditions like ASD and ADHD. The language used to describe these conditions is really very important for people who are not knowledgeable or who look upon them as diseases and misunderstand them to be when it is just a case of people who have a different type of brain.

Yep found out I had ADHD at age 50, Ive always been sensitive and seemed to feel more than most others do.

Thank you for expressing yourself up about your experiences as a highly sensitive person and voicing your thoughts. Your honesty is really appreciated, and it's clear that Dr. Maté's thoughts resonated with you. I understand how difficult it may be to navigate the world as a very sensitive person, and I empathize with the emotional suffering you've felt in your interactions with family members. You are not alone in your feelings, and this is a topic to which many people are able to relate to. I'm sorry you didn't find precise advice on how to protect yourself as a very sensitive person in this video. You're right; Dr. Maté's advise to "protect yourself" is somewhat vague, and I understand why you're looking for more specific guidance.Your suggestion for a video on how to protect oneself as a highly sensitive person is wonderful, and I'll definitely consider making content that addresses this important topic. It is important to explore practical techniques for properly managing emotions and relationships. In the meanwhile, I would recommend looking for resources and communities that specialize in helping highly sensitive people. There are significant insights and practices that might help you in more comfortably navigating the world. Remember that your sensitivity is a unique gift, even though it might be difficult at times. We'll focus on providing more practical guidance in future videos, and I sincerely appreciate your thoughts.

@@yourinnerchildmatters I am so sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I was really touched by your reply to my comment! Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind, encouraging, and thoughtful response! I really appreciate it!

First and foremost, I want to say my deepest sympathy for what you are going through. Living with constant anxiety and sensitivity can be extremely difficult, and it takes great courage to freely express such personal experiences. Remember that you are not alone in the challenges you face, and there are many others who can understand how you feel. It's important to understand that sensitivity is not an imperfections, but rather an individual trait that helps you to see and experience things carefully. Accepting this side of oneself can lead to great insights and connections with others who have a similar point of view. However, I understand how difficult it may be to deal with the fear of insults or judgment from others. It is important to remember that the opinions of others do not define your worth or the truthfulness of how you feel. Building a community of understanding and compassionate people can help you overcome these difficulties. If your anxieties and sensitivities are interfering with your daily life, you should seek professional help. Talking to a therapist or counselor can help you control your anxiety and develop healthy strategies to cope with it. Also, remember to be kind to yourself. Be gentle with yourself and recognize that it's normal to have anxieties and vulnerabilities. Growth and healing are both time-consuming and patient processes. Finally, if you find comfort in sharing your experiences with others, keep doing so. When we open up about our challenges, we not only help ourselves heal, but we also create a safe space for others to do the same. By sharing your experience, you may motivate others to seek help and embrace their true selves as well. Remember that you are deserved of understanding, empathy, and love. Take one step at a time and concentrate on your personal development and well-being. You have a supportive group here, and together, we will overcome the problems that life throws at us. I'm sending you my Love and Support, ❤️❤️❤️ Your Inner Child Matters Channel

​@@yourinnerchildmattersI agree with you entirely, In addition to sensitivity I have this ability call it intuitive to know if a person likes me or not in seconds,This started at junior school where I noticed girls didn't like me much because I wasn't particularly handsome unlike my brother, And as time went by other events with women left me in no doubt that the reason was I was ugly, I try'ed different things to improve my appearance and attitude, But after being rejected so many times I gave up, And became recluse and spent more and more time listening to music which was my first love and my last!!! At 72 years old to late 4 change, But there's one thing I've learnt people are cruel and hurtful, 🤔

@@keithroberts5611 Thank you for sharing your genuine feelings and experiences. It takes guts to open up about such private topics. It's sad that you've had to deal with issues of how others see you. Remember that beauty goes beyond appearances, and meaningful connections are based on much more than appearances. It's wonderful that you have a gift to sense how people judge you. People's behaviors and comments might be unpleasant at times, but it's important to remember that their behavior reflects them, not you. Music may be a wonderful means to express feelings and find comfort. It is never too late to make great changes in your life if you are 72 years old. Focusing on self-acceptance and the things that make you happy. Seek out people who value you for who you are and enjoy your interactions with them. Remember that kindness and empathy can help to make the world a better place. Stay strong and appreciate your passion for music! 🎶🎶 Bless you always! ❤🙏

Yes. And if they aren't too ableist and stigmatizing of autism and ADHD, many of us who first identified as HSP later realize we are actually autistic and or ADHD. For reals.

I agree, and found Elaine Aron's book revelational is describing so much of what I lived with.

I agree wholeheartedly. When I read her book, "The Highly Sensitive Person" (published in 1996), I experienced "the shock of recognition" and it helped me immensely. I have seen other UKposts videos on this general topic where she was recognized for her contribution, and some gratitude was expressed ... even if briefly. On a completely different subject, I'm wondering if there are certain types of old TV shows, or movies, etc. that HSP's might especially appreciate - or find therapeutic - that less HSP people might more typically just "shrug off" (or dismiss, or not fully get). For example: watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood TV episodes, the children's show created by Fred Rogers decades ago. Perhaps other sentimental TV shows or old movies, specializing in being tender towards people's feelings. Children's programming (not cartoons) from 10 + years ago, or more, that could be seen as wholesome nurturing, and deeply caring about real feelings. Including some vulnerable or inconvenient ones. Maybe also teaching some good and wholesome values (and practical life lessons) along the way. At a minimum, some nice mood-altering and receiving of good messages. Filling up our tanks with good stuff!

Very inspiring! It's amazing how our view of ourselves may change throughout time. Accepting your sensitivity is a great path to self-love and authenticity. Continue to embrace and celebrate your authentic self! 🌟💖 Thanks for watching and bless you

Absolutely, I appreciate your thoughtful perspective. You are correct that many people choose to manage by suppressing their feelings because they already struggle a lot. It's important to discover healthy ways to deal with our emotions and deal with the obstacles that life throws at us. Stay strong!🌟

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas and experiences. Remember that being very sensitive is a normal aspect of who you are, and it's okay to feel deeply about things. Accepting your sensitivity may be a source of determination, helping you to connect with others on greater depths. While it may provide difficulties at times, it does not lessen your practicality or ability as a financial expert. Finding balance and self-compassion may help you in overcoming moments of loneliness and vulnerability. Continue to be true to yourself, and thank you for watching the video! Have a blessed Sunday dear!❤️❤️❤️

Your comment resonates deeply with me. It's important to acknowledge our sensitivity and use it as a strength in this sometimes harsh world.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings with us. It takes bravery to open up about personal experiences, particularly those involving sensitive interpersonal relationships. It's understood that being a very sensitive individual in a household with an addict might be really difficult. The affecting difference in your personalities and coping systems might cause a great deal of emotional stress. Remember that addiction is a complicated and different problem that frequently leads to destructive behavior and a lack of self-awareness. While addicts may appear to be sociopaths, it is important to remember that addiction can lead to unstable and dangerous behavior. Caring for someone who is addicted can be extremely draining, especially if their focus is on the emotional highs of toxic relationships rather than meeting their child's needs. In these situations, it's important to prioritize your own well-being and, if necessary, seek help from friends, family, or specialists. Setting appropriate boundaries can also help you protect your mental health while remaining available to your sister and her child, though from a safe distance. Remember that you can't change her, but you may offer a helping hand if she decides to seek guidance. Please know that you are not alone in dealing with these difficulties. Many others have gone through similar suffering and found comfort in support groups and treatment. Take care of yourself and seek assistance whenever necessary. I'm sending you my love and support. Best wishes, Your Inner Child Matters Channel

@yourinnerchildmatters I just shared this because I don't think most addicts fall under the oversensitive personality. The people who have addiction issues, that I know, are wild, extroverted people who are too open, lack healthy boundaries, and are always seeking more excitement and stimulation. I don't see how how they align with over sensitivity

@@marz9676 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic!. Bless you❤❤🙏

@@marz9676 I used to have an alcohol problem and looking back now, I realize that it helped me to stop feeling things around me and it felt “freeing” to numb all the feelings I didn’t know what to do with. I no longer drink at all and have learned a lot about myself, boundaries, respecting how much social interaction I can take and not feeling bad about saying no to people…. So maybe not all people with addictions, but it definitely resonated with me. It was my escape until I found the love of God in Christ and began healing and loving myself the way He does. God bless you.🙏🏻

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt thoughts and experiences. It warms my heart to know that Dr. Maté's acknowledgment of Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) has resonated with you in such a profound way. It's truly empowering when someone's wisdom and understanding can bring a sense of validation and joy to our own journey of self-discovery. Your openness in accepting and embracing your highly sensitive nature is a beautiful testament to the positive impact Dr. Maté's insights can have.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experiences! It's wonderful to hear someone discussing sensitivity. You're correct; sensitivity can have a genetic component, and it's interesting to see how it shows differently in different occupations. While it may not be directly related to creativity for everyone, it is important to acknowledge the uniqueness of each person's experiences and special skills. It's worth noting that therapists, like actors, might have a high level of sensitivity, which may help them perform well in their jobs. Accepting and comprehending our own sensitivity can lead to increased self-awareness and empathy for others. I wish you a joyful and enlightening journey of self-discovery! Bless You, ❤🙏

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the nature of reality! It's always interesting to hear different perspectives and theories on this topic.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It takes a lot of courage to open up about the challenges we face. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and there's always support available. Keep pushing forward! bless you

It takes a lot of guts to talk about the difficulties that come with being a Highly Sensitive Person, especially if you've grown up in a toxic home. Your words have a powerful impact on many people who are going through similar difficulties. The emotional suffering, panic attacks, and ongoing battle with boundaries are all heavy responsibilities that can be breaking down. However, the fact that you are acknowledging them and making an effort to create healthier boundaries is an important move forward in your journey. Remember that healing is a process, and it's okay to take your time. As you mentioned "How To Do The Work" is an amazing tool, and the fact that you're looking for ways to help yourself indicates how strong you are. Your ability to translate your sensitivity into music and words that have an impact on others is very impressive. This vulnerability allows you to connect with strangers who find peace in your creativity. You're making a difference in people's lives by expressing what many people feel but can't put into words.

wow thank you so much I appreciate that a lot!@@yourinnerchildmatters

Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment and warm words of encouragement. I sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and sharing our videos with others. It's great to hear how the concept of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) resonated to you and validated your sensitivity. It's not always easy to navigate a world that doesn't fully comprehend or respect our unique characteristics, but your perspective as the "canary in the coal mine" is powerful. Accepting your sensitivity and recognizing how you perceive the world differently can be a life-changing experience. It's wonderful that you have both an analytical intellect and a high level of sensitivity. The ability to notice and perceive things that others may overlook is a talent, but one that comes with its own set of challenges. Others must understand that your observations and emotions are not meant to be critical, but rather to represent your enhanced senses and abilities. Your self-discovery and emotional healing journey is extremely inspirational. Confronting childhood difficulties and abuse requires tremendous strength and fortitude, and it's admirable that you've dedicated yourself to overcoming those obstacles. These experiences frequently provide us with a desire to grow and progress.Accepting that not everyone will appreciate or comprehend your unique blend of talents and abilities can be challenging, particularly when it is related to your appearance and self-esteem. Your perseverance and determination, on the other hand, have enabled you to acquire great talents in communication, volunteering, mentoring, and writing. Your willingness to share your views and experiences on platforms such as Quora demonstrates your resilience and the great influence you may have on others. Thank you for suggesting tapping as a resource for others. It's wonderful to hear that it's changed your life. I'm sure many people in the audience would appreciate the suggestion and the chance to learn more about this strategy. Finally, I'm happy that despite your difficulties, you've found joy and a better understanding of yourself. We may create a meaningful and rewarding existence by embracing our individuality and caring genuinely about the things that are important to us. Thank you for sharing your story; I hope it continues to inspire others. Best wishes, and may your journey be full of continuous growth, healing, and joy. bless you

@@yourinnerchildmatters your very kind reply is staggering and rare. As you continue to encourage and empower others, you are assured to be a part of “the solution “ rather than adding to the world’s difficulties. It is my privilege to share whatever may be helpful to others, as tapping is. I also use a RIFE machine (spooky2) tuning forks, essential oils, flower essences, homeopathy as well as red light therapy and bio hacking my diet and exercise. It’s been sort of fun to come out thriving, from a narcissistic family and two of those husbands. All the credit goes to following the kind and loving direction of our faithful and true creator, who wants us all to succeed. Thank you again for your kindness and effective sharing, for so many.

thank you for watching

Thank you for sharing your journey, it's inspiring to see your growth and self-acceptance.

I completely agree! It is important to differentiate between true sensitivity and self-centered behavior. True sensitivity includes empathy and understanding, but individuals who hide their egocentrism miss the essence of genuine connection. Very well said!, thanks again and have a blessed Sunday💕🙏✨

I think it more comes down to who will turn a blind eye to those in suffering vrs who will feel that persons pain in their own soul and then act in a way that is empathetic. So maybe use that as a way of checking who is the egomaniac…

@@Strikercoach thanks for sharing your insights ❤❤

Many thanks for sharing!" Being highly observant is a wonderful trait. It enables us to get important understanding and comprehension of our surroundings. Continue to value your unique traits!

@@yourinnerchildmatters thanks but it shouldn’t be kept a secret that no one needs sensitivity when they’re observant. The facts free life from having to waste time on emotions in advance.

Thank you for sharing your journey! It's amazing how art and music can be such powerful forms of expression and healing. Keep inspiring others with your story! take care always and bless you

Accepting and loving oneself while facing the challenges of life is the greatest path to growth and happiness. Keep sharing happiness and positivity! 💕🙏✨

Thank you very much for sharing your lovely perspective on life in the comment section! I totally agree with you that every life is sacred and that each individual's very existence is a beautiful gift. It's genuinely exciting to consider the complexities and wonders of the world around us, and to recognize the inherent value of every living being. Your comment has resonated deeply with me, and I'm grateful for the reminder to cherish and appreciate the preciousness of life. Keep spreading this positive outlook,and may we continue to embrace and respect the sanctity of all living creatures. Thanks again

Not according to Buddhism, where to exist is to suffer.

@@beingsshepherd Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you very much for your wonderful words! Dr. Gabor Maté's thoughts provide insight on the challenges of highly creative people and how they might manage their sensitivity. Learning from the caring nature of angels and deities is a good way for people to guide and help others while also taking care of themselves. 🙏🌟🌈

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! Being a creative can indeed be challenging, but it's also a beautiful journey filled with passion and self-expression. Dr. Gabor Mate's perspectives are very inspirational. Continue to create and express yourself! 🎨✨

Thanks! 😃bless you

Indeed, you've brought up an interesting viewpoint! Exploring different cultures can provide an enriching experience and a more appropriate fit for sensitive people. It's wonderful how a change in place can help to overall happiness by allowing one to reconnect with one's authentic self. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important aspect of well-being! 🌍✨ bless you

absolutely true. i am from London UK - always felt "sick" there and I have lived in asia for the last decade and i feel much more aligned. Energetic resonance with the land you live on is so important for HSP's! x

@@pcosbodyhealing 100 percent agree. enjoy Asias life!, bless you

@@8bg201 You are totally right. Traveling and moving may be very stressful, especially for people who are more sensitive to change. Managing such situations with appropriate preparation and self-care is important.

True. I am from Germany but was always surrounded by a narrow-minded religious and traditional community where I was always mocked and punished for being "too calm", "passive" and just me... Even reading a book was made fun of. Today I am a 33 year old teacher and can honestly say that you need to be with people who not only tolerate you but ACCEPT you. Don't linger and stay with primitive, shallow monkeys. More like with intellectual, nurturing, compassionate, creative and curious people, the doers and winners. I knew this all along but felt the internalized shame that they installed in me for thinking of myself as an intellectual. People accuse me as being arrogant with a "better than you"-attitude anyway, just because I am not participating in their daily gossips, drama and blame-games. They are projecting much and I can't endure this nonsense anymore. I have lived in many cities here but now I will finally move overseas to a big city.

I absolutely understand your experience. It's truly inspiring to hear how you've embraced your sensitivity and intuition, particularly in a difficult job like sales. Dr. Gabor Mate's insights have been both eye-opening and transforming. Remember that being a Highly Sensitive Person is a unique ability that helps us to connect closely with people and sense emotions on a deep level. Your journey to discover and accept your HSP nature shows your courage and authenticity. Let us hope that the medical sector continues to improve and includes emotional well-being in patient care. Change might be difficult, but as you clearly pointed out, it is important for our development as individuals and as a society. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Have a nice day beautiful soul 💖 💖

Your story of strength and resilience have truly touched me. It takes great courage to overcome such challenges and make positive changes in your life. And I'm happy that you discovered this channel and that it has had a great impact on your life. Your journey from addiction and toxic relationships to rediscovering your passion for music and being in the best shape of your life is very inspirational. Your commitment to improving yourself and being a loving parent is fantastic. Remember that your strength serves as a light of hope for those who may be going through similar struggles. Continue playing and creating music, developing your skills, and appreciating the positivity you've created. Your determination is an encouragement to all of us. Stay strong, and I wish you the best of luck in your future court case 🙏 as well as your ongoing journey of healing and growth. ❤️❤️ Sending lots of virtual hugsss to you💖

Glad you like it!

That is 100% correct! Embracing our sensitivities while at the same employing good behaviors can truly transform challenges into opportunities for improvement. We may walk this road together to create an effective and meaningful existence to this day. Remember that asking help is a sign of bravery. Many thanks to everyone for their love and support in here ! 🌼💙

Any suggestions? I feel so much beauty and pain that it’s a struggle

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, It's nice to hear that you connected with the video's content. Being sensitive can indeed provide its own set of challenges. Remember that sensitivity is a strength that allows us to relate deeply and connect closely with others. Accept your sensitivity as a gift and look for ways to take care of your emotional well-being.You're not alone in this journey, and there's a whole community of sensitive souls out there who can offer support and understanding. Keep shining your light and being true to yourself! 💫✨

Being able to turn your pain into empathy is truly admirable. If you ever want to share more or need help, this community is here for you. On your journey, I wish you continued growth and healing. 🌟💕

Thanks for watching!

Absolutely, I can relate! It's as if finding a true connection becomes much easier when you live in a culture that values depth and authenticity. 🌍💫

Yes I relate

Have you been to Germany? Robotic, cold and materialistic people were produced here..

I am Polish residing in North America. Currently vacationing in France and Poland where as an HSP I feel much more comfortable than in NA. But I intend on going back to NA after this trip accepting that I don’t feel as comfortable in NA and just creating my own world. It is what it is. I won’t be fighting my sensitivity anymore.

@@Apricot90 Monaco, although beautiful country, also cold and materialistic people. As a sensitive/empathic person, I feel verrrrrryyy out of place when I visit there.

. When I was a teenager. Just to cope in that time. I found out about HSP when I was 55.

Keep in mind that embracing positivity and self-care can be more effective tools for navigating sensitivity than drowning in negativity." You have the power to create balance and rise above.🌟💪

Yes, sometimes some of us block out the sensitivity without noticing it due to our current life situation, location, toxic job, negative relationships etc. Our brain attempts to protect itself. Luckily our self awareness eventually makes us realize that we’ve been blocking it. In response, yes, it feels awful blocking it out. Eventually becoming soul-sucking in my opinion as I in the past became more “dead inside”. It sucks. I’m going back to full blown HSP, I don’t care. Not blocking anymore.

@@zestrokeshehe I understand how you feel. I was just thinking how important it is to have a healthy environment for an HSP. I grew up in pretty much the opposite. I’m sure many here did.

@@zestrokeshehe thanks for sharing

You are so welcome and thank you for watching! Have a wonderful today! Smile💫 💕

@@yourinnerchildmatters😊🙏🏻

But, I do sense a haunting melancholy in your features as well as your tone of voice. With all your wisdom and knowledge of the human condition, I wonder if you need healing from your own deepest hurts. I feel somewhat an affinity toward you, and sense the depth of despair still residing within you. Maybe it has been difficult for you to come to a true sense of peace and even joy in your life. Please excuse these words if they sound presumptuous, for I have learned so much truth from hearing you speak this day. I do know that God has given me a gift of discernment at times. God bless your life richly as well as your loved ones.

thank you for sharing your thoughts🙏✨💖

I appreciate you sharing such insightful thoughts!" You've got it exactly right. It is a frequent misperception that we are weak, yet in reality, we have great strength within ourselves. Being able to direct where our attention is focused is a game changer. We can create an impact of empowerment and transformation by directing our attention to positive and significant areas of our lives. It is not about avoiding or rejecting difficulties, but rather about choosing to focus on solutions, progress, and gratitude. Remember that while we may not have complete control over every outer situation, we do have complete power over our inner responses. This realization opens up a world of options for us and allows us to handle life with resilience and strength. Let us keep reminding ourselves and others of this important truth. We may inspire each other to find our inner power and live fulfilled lives if we work together. Thank you for sharing this wonderful reminder once again! ❣️

High Sensitivity and Autism have some things in common but are absolute opposites at their core.

thanks for watching 💕🙏✨💖

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your heartfelt thoughts! Dr. Maté's wisdom has a unique way of touching the depths of our emotions, doesn't it? It's wonderful how his words resonate with the very essence of what many of us have felt but unable to describe. You're not alone in feeling this way, and it's a lovely reminder of the strength of shared experiences. Let us continue this journey of self-discovery and enlightenment together.Sending Warmest regards and gratitude for being a part of this community! 🙏✨💖

It's interesting to hear your take on the relationship between sensitivity and creativity. While individuals may discover inspiration by means of sensitivity, it is also proper to recognise that talent and dedication play important roles in artistic efforts. The personalities of artists range from sensitive to perceptive, and even those with historically challenging characteristics. Variety in the creative world broadens our understanding of what motivates artistic expression.

😊

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and personal experience. It takes a lot of courage to be so open, and I admire your honesty. I want you to know that you are not alone in what you are going through. Many artists, even some of the most well-known, have struggled with similar feelings and the problem of being faithful to their creative expression. It's perfectly fine to make art that explores dark and uncomfortable issues; in fact, it's typically these kinds of works that strike resonate with people and spark conversations and discussions. I understand how difficult it may be, especially when you feel surrounded by people who have different hobbies and interests. But keep in mind that being unique and having an own point of view is what makes art so captivating. Accept your distinctness as an artist; it is what differentiates you and gives your work its unique voice. It's normal to be concerned about what people think, but it's important to pay attention to your own creative vision and emotional well-being. Your art is an expression of yourself, and its purpose is to represent your inner world rather than to please others. I'm happy that you found the video useful. Continue using drawing as an outlet, and don't be afraid to express yourself through your work. You never know how much of an influence your work can have on others who may feel the same way you do. Remember that the most influential artists frequently push boundaries and defy norms, so keep doing what you're passionate about. Stay true to yourself and keep making amazing art. 🎨✨ Best Regards, Your Inner Child Matters Channel

thanks for kind words 💕🙏✨

@@yourinnerchildmatters All thanks to you for sharing this with us. 💜
