“First and foremost, embrace your sensitivity rather than fight it. For a long time, I saw my sensitivity as a flaw that needed fixing. I’d hear people tell me to “toughen up” or “stop being so sensitive,” and I took those words to heart. But the more I tried to suppress my sensitivity, the more miserable and anxious I became. It wasn’t until I began to accept myself for who I am that I started to see my sensitivity as a gift. It’s what allows me to connect with others deeply and write stories that resonate with people on a personal level. Embracing who I am has been empowering, and it’s allowed me to harness my sensitivity as a strength.”
