You keep hearing “you’re too sensitive, get over it.”  But you feel like you can’t.  You cry easily, whether from sadness or joy, and no one seems to understand.  Instead, they make you feel like something is wrong with you.  You feel like you need to take care of everyone yet you find it so draining and feel wrong for wanting time to yourself. Sometimes you start to resent those around you for not getting it. Loud noises can be startling while a tag in a shirt can be so irritating that you can’t focus on anything else. And crowds, well, they can be intolerable.  You feel the need to get away and be alone.  You feel like the misfit, the weird one and nothing you do seems to change it. You are made to feel like you overreact.

Yet, it’s your biologically wired highly sensitive nervous system.
