i remember specifically NOT showing this article to my friends on SU. Well. I guess they found it anyway! {{Thanks Pixie, Gracey, and Ariadelle}} Yeah...I've been in molting or something.

Article: Sensitivity in an Insensitive World

Hopefully this will offer

Validation of your sensitivity
Your unique traits
Perception shifts so you don't have to feel the insensitivity of the world

...a snippet... You have the God given and God spirited right to be as unique and as different as you need to be. God has blessed people - some more than others - with an exceptionally large light and if we try to quench that light for the sake of other peoples' perceptions and hurtful words, well, for me, I realized I was going against myself, my intuitive voice, God, and the "who I am". It's wrong to do this on a basic level, but for me, it was life-threatening as I turned to alcohol and other harmful substances in which to keep me numb. I hope that if you are currently hurting yourself trying to *fit* and keep your light at a "low brightness" that you reconsider and realize the resources at your disposal in which to help you be the best that you were meant to be.

Taking Care of Ourselves - Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally: Apr 28, 10:48pm 5 reviews mental-health, self-improvement, emotional-health, hsp, codependency
http://samsara.ihostyou.com/taking-care-of-ourselves-physically-emotionally-m...; Taking Care of Ourselves
Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually
We take care of ourselves because no one is as invested in our own serenity, usefulness, and happiness as we are. We take care of ourselves because our path is individual and someone else on a different path may be stunted and we do not want to follow them, knowing that if we do, we will be stunted. We gain courage by recognizing that fear is normal when we're about to embark on change but that we can feel the fear and do it anyway! We will understand that sometimes we may feel alone and even often lonely but know that though we may walk our path sometimes alone, we are never truly alone; There are others walking this path too.

We understand that agreements in this life can change anytime we need to; Anytime we realize these agreements have quit working or never did. We acknowledge and get that there will be people in this life who disagree with our path and though it may be disappointing or even hurt, we rise anyway.

That was the conclusion.

http://lifestyle.msn.com/relationships/friendship/articleoprah.aspx?cp-docume...; "Joanna describes herself as sensitive, and she is. But her reaction to my comments wasn't sensitivity; it was defensiveness. The two may feel identical to the person experiencing them, but actually they're worlds apart."

That's right. Being an HSP has nothing to do with being defensive although the two can exist in the same person. [Like the article, "Sensitive like TNT" is the Highly Defensive Person, where classic HSP is "Sensitive like an overclocked computer."]

However, because a person uses the term "sensitive" in order to paint nicely their defensiveness, it gives genuine Sensitives - who are not defensive - a bad impression onto people who'd otherwise not know the difference.

I love HSP's. My closest friends are all HSP's which basically means we can go days without talking and come back together knowing precisely where each other *were.* If I had a relationship with an HDP [Highly Defensive Person], I'd have to end it before I got too enmeshed, as I quit walking on eggshells about 4 years ago.

The 22-year-old man was given the posthumous award for a remarkable act of selflessness: In August of 2006, he was giving a skydiving lesson to a young woman in Missouri when the plane they were flying on began to have engine trouble. Robert knew the plane was going to crash - but he believed it was his duty to save the life of Kimberly Dear, the 21-year-old Australian woman he'd taken on board for a skydiving lesson.

Thanks to the dear Miranda for sending this my way
