Violet! Thank-you for another enlightened discussion! I have been told a few times "You're too sensitive!" and it really does hurt... Don't ever change! :)
thankyou Elo, I'm glad for another random chat video I was just thinking about the one's done in the past, kind of make me feel less lonely. They are always nice to play and let my mind wonder in and out and go where the topics take it.
I was called weak and sensitive all my life. I now know that its just my heightened sense of justice and logic.. The only person that got that was my mother, and i lost her last year around this time. And the family i had that dont understand me or how i think have pretty much cut me off. So this talk about being sensitive and others not understanding totally hits home. Thank you for this topic.
As a mom, trying my best to make sure my kiddo knows her feelings are valid, that her voice deserves to be heard, that she can take up however much space she wants, your comment was so encouraging. Tonight her little 3yrs old self had the boldness to tell her dad he hurt her feelings & while I was telling her she was brave for doing that, I actually thought about how brave it was. Like, grown adult men aren't brave enough to stand up & tell another grown man that & she did, to someone 3x her height to boot. It made me feel like, ok, Im doing something right, but your comment was sort of the cherry on top. So many times as a parent you wonder if being there & listening & all that stuff will ever be noticed or remembered so it was so encouraging to know that your moms way of being did have a lasting positive impact.
I have been told I am sensitive all my life. My parents, grandparents, teachers, and friends have all told me I let people’s opinions shape me too much. They tell me I cry too often about things they perceive not to matter. They say my emotions are too strong. I am now a labor and delivery nurse who also works in an infant nursery. I have been told by my current coworkers that as I get older, I will “grow out of it”. I disagree. I don’t think I will ever grow out of it, and I don’t think I ever want to. Here’s why. I have held mothers’ hands on the best days of their lives. I have encouraged them through their fear, supported them through their pain, and celebrated them in their victory. I have eased the transition from “I’m scared it won’t be just us anymore” to “I’ve never been more excited”. I’ve let them see my joy. I have been vulnerable with my emotions. I have watched it make a difference. I have also held mothers’ on the worst day of their lives. Their tears have soaked my shoulder as they sobbed. I have made funeral home calls that nobody should ever have to make, because I know it’s hard. I make mementos for parents so they have a reminder, if and whenever they want it. I sit beside them, answer all the questions about the terrifying unknown, and say no matter what, “I’m here with you”. I have let them see my sadness. I have been vulnerable with my emotions. I have watched it make a difference. Your sensitivity is NOT a weakness. It is a strength. It allows you to join hands in celebration and kneel with people in their valleys. It allows you share their pain and their joy. It allows you to live with others. It allows you to love others. It allows you to love.
Thank you for the video, Violet. It’s important to acknowledge the strengths of being sensitive. It’s been hard for me to frame it as positive as I’ve been trying to get on my feet and find my place in the world. Finding a career that doesn’t make me want to unexist has been an excruciating journey. The world is unfortunately so unkind to people like us, but I’m determined to keep going and stay authentic to myself.
Lots to unpack here. I can definitely relate to being seen as prey by others around me growing up. As I've gotten older I've learned to be friends with people who think and feel differently from me but are compassionate to my sensitivity. I think it's kind of a survival thing for me, but it's also good to learn from people who can see things diffferently and help balance my own reactions to things and vice versa. Thanks for sharing. Columbus says hello.
I really love your chatty videos! 😃 This time I was a little bit astonished at first. Because what I thougt to be the German translation of "sensible" (I'm a and in German/y 😉) is something really positive. So I looked it up and just found out that there are over 12 different translations of "sensitive" in German. So I think in this case we are able to express oureselves more precisely because we differ between the positive and less positive aspects of being sensitive. Maby this is why I've never been called 'weak and sensitive' or something similar in German. Although I'm a very sensitive person, too. People could say quite precise which of my sensitive behaviours they didn't like without critizising the whole thing. This makes communication a lot easier. (Sorry if my English is not the best!)
That is extremely interesting! I love that other languages have more precise words/meanings for words. English has SO many words, but will still use the same ones to describe complex ideas and feelings - like love and sensitivity. Maybe some day we will learn!!
I thought of this early on in the video. Although, it's not about "sensitivity", I've heard in religious circles, "We must love the unloveable, or the hard to love." That didn't sit right with me. I feel if we were to ask the "unloveable" person, they would say the feeling is mutual, lol. I feel that understanding goes a long way, and that there is no unloveable person. I feel we're all unique and if everyone could understand each other there would be no need for boxes, labels, groups, stereotypes, etc.
I am a very sensitive person. I am on the Autism spectrum And I am a disabled person. And I am 39 years old. And I am a male. I am a very shy person and I am an introvert and I have social anxiety.
