People tell you every day that you cry too much, or you’re too sensitive or -- my personal favorite -- you care too much. I would rather be full of emotions and sensitive than have no emotions at all. There is no explanation as to why people are overly emotional or overly sensitive but it can sometimes be a good thing. There are many many reasons in this daily life that can make somebody become even more emotional than ever before. Being highly sensitive doesn’t make you any less of a human being, you are not broken nor do you have anything to fix about yourself. Being overly sensitive or being overly emotional will most definitely lead to tears, tears and even more tears.
“Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.” -- Brigitte Nicole
People are always going to make fun of you or laugh at you or even, maybe, call you names like “cry baby” or “wussy.” They are never going to understand why you get the way you do in certain situations, it takes a special type of person to understand you in those situations and those people are your parents!
Being overly sensitive comes from having such a soft heart and giving people, or just everything in general, the benefit of the doubt and trusting before knowing. Those may be weaknesses to outsiders but to you, that makes you who you are.
You are the only one in your friend group that carries tissues or napkins with you into the movie theater because there is always the chance that you will spontaneously start crying and you don’t want to leave in the middle of the movie.
You are the only one that cries or says “awe” during kid's movies, and your friends are constantly laughing at you.
Literally everything, from when you see a baby in a cute little tutu or a little tuxedo onesie to when somebody dies in a movie or a tv show, makes you cry.
If you are emotional and sensitive, you'll be able to relate to things better, you'll be less judgmental, and you will simply understand people easier, and most people like when they are understood and when they have somebody to relate too. You may think it's a bad thing that you are overly sensitive or emotional but fear not, you have nothing wrong with you and you mustn't think like that.
Don’t let anybody ever tell you that being too sensitive is lame or stupid or just plain ridiculous because having those emotions make you the real you. Overly sensitive people see things different than those who lack in that area, they see the life through love, through the heart and through feel.
The most important thing to value when being overly sensitive is that people trust you and they come and talk to you and discuss their problems with you and they can count on you to understand everything without a second explanation.
Understanding things in a deeper way is the only motto that sensitive people should live by.
