Hypersensitivity in toxic ages
We live in a very toxic generation. Little boys are taught that crying is a sign of weakness while girls are supposedly oversensitive.
Hypersensitivity... what is this all about?
First of all it is not a flaw, it is more of a gift.
It means that you can feel more. That also means that you can feel more pain. This is the reason why most hypersensitive persons are training themselves to close up, not let anybody in. Because when they do, they give their whole heart and that sh!t can become extremely painful.
So when you had your heart broken at least once, when you felt betrayed and abandoned, the first thing you do is reach for safety.
This is a natural survival instinct, you are protecting yourself from getting hurt.
If there is one thing that this journey towards enlightenment has taught me, it's that you can't run away from who you truly are no matter how hard you try.
So I'll break it down for you: You can't "cure" hypersensitivity no matter how hard you try.
But you can definitely try... to close yourself up to other people, new experiences, you can definitely shield yourself from pain if you're isolating yourself enough (how ironic during covid right?).
Once again you loose 100% of the shots you don't take.
Being aware of your feelings, being understanding of your true self, this is true power.
Hypersensitivity means that you feel more.
It also means that you have the power to be much happier than most people.
Life is a choice after all. You can definitely try to bury this part of yourself deep, deep under all the trauma, deep under all this pain, deep under all this history. But believe me, it will sooner or later catch on to you and at that moment, your whole world will shatter.
This is a crucial step in your journey towards enlightenment, in order for you to become your higher self, you must question all your beliefs, all your habits, everything that you used to be.
Just remember that it is ok to feel. It is not something to be ashamed of, on the contrary.
It takes a lot of strength to be kind when you've been wronged.
But this is how you'll be able to raise your vibration and meet people who are as genuine and inspiring as you.
One day at a time.
