I have written many times about emotional sensitivity as it is deemed as such a negative quality, yet in actuality, this opinion generally comes from those who have very little emotional intelligence, are very insensitive, or are displaying traits of disconnection and / or disassociation from their own emotional body.
There are sadly more people than might be acknowledged out there, who were brought up within a traumatising environment.
Some grow up without knowing real love, without genuine kindness or compassion, or being shown little to no empathy.
This can leave a person feeling less than enough and struggling with self acceptance, self-esteem and self love.
It may also skew the way they perceive the world and the people in it.
Some people, on the opposite of the spectrum, may have been smothered with love and may have been given very few opportunities to learn to do anything for themselves. They could have been completely sheltered from living a whole and fulfilling life due to overprotective family members. Where this might seem the ideal, it too can pose a variety of emotional struggles.
Any kind of physical, verbal, neglectful, and / or stifling / suffocating, trapping, controlling or coercive behaviours towards another human being regardless of age, s*x, or race, can come under the all encompassing heading of abuse.
No one deserves to be belittled and beaten either emotionally or physically, for being in touch with their own feelings.
It should be celebrated as positive.
You have a heart ❤️ allow it to be open and feel everything it needs to.
It is especially important for you to be aware of when you are NOT feeling ok physically, mentally or emotionally, and seek out those who can hold space for you to feel anything that comes up for you with care, compassion, and safety.
Never hide your sensitivity or emotional feelings to make others feel comfortable.
If there is someone around you that has no positive feelings about themselves and / or others, remember that they too need space held for them, in order they gain an understanding of the why's.
Allow support and guidance to be forthcoming, if needed, to help them to put in the work to fix what is defined as broken.
Most people strive to become a whole, feeling, living, 'human' being, following a period or periods of traumatic and / or emotional stress or difficulty.
Emotions are magical doorways into how we are really feeling. When
used correctly they are a guidance system to help us to understand where healing is needed the most.
I am thankful that I am blessed with a wide range of healthy emotions, good, bad, or ugly all are valid.
I am thankful that I am in a place where I can hold space for myself as well as for others who may need help to connect with their feelings, and accept that they are there and that they have a greater purpose than might be realised..
It doesn't matter how things look on the outside its about doing the right thing for the 'inside' for yourself and those around you, regardless of who you think is or isn't watching.
