Today it suddenly occurred to me that when someone says: "You're TOO sensitive," what they are actually communicating is: "I don't want you to take my opinion of you too seriously. I want you to be more detached from my thoughts and feelings about you or about what you are doing." Taken in this way, their statement is actually quite liberating.
However, as with all personality traits, our flaw is ALSO our gift. That means that sensitivity has its positive aspects as well. I hope I never lose my sensitivity to beauty, especially to the beauty of Nature. For that sensitivity is what enables me to remain passionate, and to share that passion with the world!
