I think it helps to think of our actions as completely separate from others’ actions. To know that what others do or say is a reflection of who THEY are. And then, what we do or say is a reflection of what WE are. In my experience, changing the way I look at sensitivity has helped as well. This world would have us believe sensitivity is a weakness. When actually, it’s a huge strength. It takes STRENGTH to swim against the current of this world, and be kind and sensitive DESPITE what everyone else is doing. So having pride in ourselves for the beautiful sensitivity that allows us to be empathetic and heartfelt in such an emotionally barren world is so important.
