About

You've been told that you're "too much" or "overly sensitive." You've been told this a lot actually. And every time you hear it, the cut digs a little deeper. After awhile, you start to think maybe they're right. Why else would you feel so chronically overwhelmed? Why else would you come home and burst into tears “for no reason.” Why else would you be so picky? Or learn to dig your nails into your skin to keep from crying? If you relate, you may be a highly sensitive person. Many highly sensitive people are neurodivergent in some way, and there are reasons for why you're sensitive. It isn't just because you're "being difficult.
