Up until recently, I had always negatively questioned my own power and my sensitive energy. Through the process of heavily questioning myself, I discovered some of the awesomeness of being a very sensitive person. However, that doesn't mean this discovery process is over, it will continue for the rest of my life!
Are you a highly sensitive person? Do you feel like you process situations more intensely than the average person?
Here is a list of some of the awesomeness of sensitive people:
1. Intuitive
Most highly sensitive people are capable of knowing what's happening below the surface and in between the lines without being able to articulate a solid reason.
2. An ability to read the vibe
When entering a situation, conversation, or a room full of people, most highly sensitive people can tell what type of mood or vibe was taking place just before they arrived.
3. Picking up on the subtle
Highly sensitive people usually are capable of responding to someone's questions or needs before they even ask. They can usually tell when someone is hiding something or lying to them.
4. Empathy for what others are feeling
This goes far beyond the typical cordial sentiments. The empathy of a highly sensitive person is much closer to being able to walk a mile in a person's shoes with out ever touching their boots.
5. Experiencing the extraordinary
Highly sensitive people often are capable of experiencing, feeling, and seeing things that are beyond the ordinary. A sound, a sense, or a color not coined yet.
6. Mental telepathy
This one is quite interesting. It seems that highly sensitive people may have the capability to sense when someone is going to stop by for a visit, send them a text message, or call them before any of this ever takes place.
7. Storytelling
The highly sensitive nature of some people allows them to graciously and elegantly use descriptive words to create a divine narrative.
8. Going solo with confidence
Highly sensitive people are never feel lonely when they're by themselves. Sometimes their own company is all they need and sometimes even preferred.
9. Above average mindfulness
Someone who is highly sensitive will usually make room for a group of people coming onto the bus, or move the other side of the sidewalk so someone else can pass with ease. All in the name of making it easier for everyone around them.
10. Easy to cry
Showing emotions in the form of crying usually comes easier for highly sensitive people. However, it isn't sign of weakness, it can be a healthy release of constrictive emotions and thought patterns. More of a personal cleansing than anything else.
11. Work excellent in a team setting
The ability of being able to sense how other people are feeling enables a highly sensitive person to respond to the team's needs in the optimal way.
12. Hard working
Highly sensitive people usually tend to be deep thinkers and tad bit of perfectionists. They tend to put 110% into everything at hand, especially projects that involve other people.
13. Easily moved by artistic expression
The artists of the world find their inspiration and creativity from those who are moved by it and make it known. Acknowledging myself as a highly sensitive person has enabled me to also see it in others. These others are by far the most profound artists, dreamers, and teachers I have ever met.
