I don't ever want to be someone who can't reach inside my heart and feel. I don't want to be so hardened by circumstances or people that I fail to be sensitive to others needs. So what's the balance? I have come to realize that I can't allow people to cause me to look down on myself. Yet, I have to understand where they are coming from and what they are saying.
So I keep being sensitive...realizing that people say things in the heat of the moment, they don't always know what they are talking about, most of the time people are just trying to help. Being authentically sensitive means not apologizing for my feelings. I am exactly who I am, and I feel things that others don't. But that is what makes me unique and real!
What about you? Are you authentically sensitive?

I used to be overly sensitive. Time and experience have changed me. I have learnt to let things slide. Sensitivity can be one's greatest weakness or their biggest strength. It is a matter of perspective.

I am sensitive but not overly so. I do realise that people can be insensitive and say things that can be hurtful when they really didn't mean to be. I think it's important to be true to yourself. That way people can take or leave you as they see fit -but you'll always be a 'real' person that way!
Thanks for the comments!!! :)
