Have you ever heard anyone say that you are “too sensitive” or “too dramatic?” Highly sensitive people are often misunderstood. We are each born with a different level of sensitivity in how we take in the world through our senses. Highly sensitivity people can be easily overwhelmed by bright lights, strong smells, loud noises, or textures, but they also have an extremely rich inner life and are often very bright and creative. Sometimes adaptations and support are needed for coping in the world, but if you are highly sensitive, consider it a gift and an important part of what makes you unique!
