It's not easy being the sensitive girl; many people just don't understand us.
1. We cry easily… Obviously, this is a given for most of us anyway.
Whether it be something that was said, how something was said, or even just the beautiful words of a love song, those tears start flowing faster than we know how to stop them.
2. We take everything personally… Even stuff that's not meant to be.
Regardless of what it is, we tend to feel like it was a personal attack in some way or another.
Anything you say can and will be used against you. If we are hurt, we tend to search for what is wrong with us or what kind of ill intentions you may have had from the beginning to bring this pain upon us.
3. We're "fixers"… We feel everything so deeply; whether it be happiness, sadness, anger, etc.
Making someone's life better or putting a smile on their face makes us feel amazing. After all, we are very empathetic. We hate to see others in a bad position, and we feel obligated to help them.
Doing so genuinely uplifts our soul; this is why we get taken advantage of.
4. We stick up for the underdog… We know all too well what it's like to feel hurt, disrespected, or insulted.
This is why we refuse to sit there, as an innocent bystander, and allow someone to hurt someone else for no reason.
Sometimes people are scared to stick up for themselves, but someone has to.
5. We are extremely detail-oriented… Everything around us, we are constantly soaking in.
We analyze, analyze, analyze. Whether it be a conversation we had two hours ago, or the colors of the sky when the sun sets, we notice it.
We realize how beautiful the world is and all that it has to offer, but we also realize the way a person diverts their eye contact as they tell a lie, or the slight change in tone at the beginning of a relationship change.
People say that we think too much into things, but honestly, that's because they don't like when someone notices their bullshit.
6. We are hypochondriacs… Because of our analytic thoughts and our racing minds, we constantly recognize the worst possible outcome in any given situation.
Because we are used to being sensitive in an insensitive, cold world, we are used to being hurt, so we expect the worst things to happen all the time.
7. We can't help it… Oh, I'm too sensitive and it's annoying? Let me ask you something. Do you think I want to be this way? We cannot help it.
This is who we are, and likely who we will be for the rest of our lives.
Being sensitive is not a weakness. It takes strength to stay true to who you are, to embrace every emotion, in a society that tells you that showing emotion is weak.
It is a gift to not have been tainted by the bitterness of the world; to still have such a tender soul.
Hold onto these people, they are the most genuine.
