My first visit to your blog! I don’t think anyone should ever change who they are to satisfy someone else. Please stay the way you are….its what makes you you!

I believe it takes quite thick skin to defend your thin skin, and that’s exactly what you did. Good on you!

Happy ICLW!

Dear Beth,
Happy ICLW!

Sensitivity is a gift and becoming hardened isn’t the answer, but I once heard something helpful about being a thermostat and not a thermometer. In other words, determining to set the temperature, not be affected by it. There’s something in that, I think. Guard your heart, it’s precious.

I too have been classified as “too sensitive”. I try to find a balance, as you are doing…but it sounds like you are doing a much better job than I am!

Have a great week.

I am a thin skinned sensitive person as well. I have so many issues with letting things go and having them bother me. The only thing that helps me is talking to people I trust and time. I hope that you are able to feel better about everything.

I love your manifesto. Esp this: ‘The edge of my spirit is my sensory tool for understanding the world better.”
