Sensitive people like me sometimes suffer a lot emotionally.

I was extremely caring, loving, and considerate of the people around me. I never said anything that would hurt someone. I would be kind to their needs. I would praise them, make them feel special, and always try to do everything to make them happy.

But as I started to grow up, I saw that people always took advantage of this side of me...

I was expected to do more, give more love while I usually never received it...
Because I wouldn't say a bitter thing or bad thing, people would say anything to me, blame me sometimes, expect me to make others happy at my expense, and still not say a word...

I was also scared of being left alone... So I would tolerate a lot and people whether at work or in personal life, knew this fear... And they would take advantage of it...

And since I was sensitive, their small words, their gestures, their silent treatment, and nonverbal expressions, all get to me. all were understood by me...

Also, people attacked me because of my sensitive side... As I also was popular because of it...

I would become the center of attention because of my soft self and people didn't like it...

Due to my sensitive nature, I started having deteriorating mental health...

This is because people would attack me knowing I would not attack back...
It was very easy to make my self-doubt or make my self-esteem be hurt... Because I took everything so seriously...

A few bad words would make my confidence drop... And also I never could have the strength to fight back or stand for myself...

My sensitive self was becoming a reason for my depression... I joined IWill therapy 1 year ago... I was heartbroken, in a miserable emotional state, with so much emotional PAIN that I just cried all day...

It was in therapy that my therapist first helped me respect myself... It was rare to have people like me, who cared for others around... But at the same time, she helped me see how asserting for self, is not being "Wrong". "or being bad to someone". I had every right to speak for myself... I had to stand up for myself...


She helped me develop a stable sense of self... and also not be so self-doubting... she helped me learn to protect my inner core from words of those who had agendas... I had to put people who were intentionally hurtful in perspective...

I had to stop seeing the world in black and white and stop giving that much importance to those who wanted to attack me...

She also got my loved one in therapy after a few months and helped him see things from my perspective, my hurt, my emotional pain.

Therapy helped me become stronger for my own self, to not be so sensitive that anyone can break me, to not be so sensitive that others who have an agenda break my spirit, to not be so sensitive to keep tolerating those who are so nasty towards me.


Being sensitive and soft is good but it should not become your weakness and damage your mental health and life.

I am glad I started therapy and heal myself and become stronger and responsible and sensitive for myself and my needs too.
