Hey,
"You're too sensitive!" If I had a dollar for every time that was said to me, I'd be very rich.
I am hyper-sensitive, and it can be really hard with school and people in general.
Not everyone is accommodating to us more sensitive people, and majority of people are really blunt.
Being hyper sensitive means a lot more than just your average sensitive person, hyper sensitivity means really tiny things to other people can be huge problems for you. I know personally, I react a lot to other people's emotions, I can sense someones bad mood and it actually affects me, and dampens my own.
I get overly agitated by noise, in the wrong setting. As weird as it is, I cannot stand to be in the same room as anyone when they're doing the dish-washing and putting them away, when my father does it he clangs plates together and doesn't notice how it can feel like physical pain.
Hyper sensitivity is usually a genetics thing, and a lot of my family are sensitive. And I think sensitivity is usually talked about in such a negative sense. Once when I was around seven, a group of 'friends' rounded on me, and had all three of them say 'You're just too sensitive. We don't want to be friends with you.'
The funny thing is sensitive people are more empathetic, caring and loving then anyone else. Being sensitive allows you to wear your heart on your sleeve, and show your emotions whilst everyone else is too scared to. Being sensitive has allowed my English (school subject) writing skills to blossom. Because I'm sensitive is why I can write this blog! I can open up to people because I don't know any different.
I'm sick of people telling kids to stop being so sensitive, to stop showing so much emotion, to stop. We can't help the way we're born, and I was born with an extra dose of sensitivity.
Just recently, in class we were watching Dead Poets Society, (which, by the way is the most amazing film I've watched in a while, I recommend to everyone) and when we reached the final ending scene of (SPOILERS) Todd standing on the desk, I got chills. My hand was trembling and I was just caught in an emotional wave. I truly truly felt that moment. The weirdest thing was, I was the only one in my class to feel it. When I looked around everyone was talking normally, and gossiping. I turned to a friend, and said "were you not moved by that?' to my surprise nobody else felt anything.
I think it is a gift, to be able to feel so much and so deeply. I take everything deeply and to heart, because I'm hyper sensitive. And to be honest, Its one of the best things about me.
Love,
Georgia Maree xx
