I spent a lot of my life being told by family, ex friends, ex partners, school admin, etc. that I was too sensitive. Turns out that I was just unwilling to sit silently through mistreatment/abuse. Sensitivity is a strength. Never let weak people convince you otherwise.

Never allow anyone to tell you that you are overreacting, that your feelings are overblown or that you are too sensitive. 

Feelings are feelings and they are meant to be felt, acknowledged, understood and then they begin to move through the body, releasing you of the pain and suffering Period.

Never deny your feelings or push them down thinking that they will simply disappear eventually.

If your feelings are not acknowledged and felt, they will come out sideways somewhere in your life as anger, resentment, fear or even illness.

If your feelings are not acknowledged and felt, they will come out sideways somewhere in your life as anger, resentment, fear or even illness.

If you are hurt, you're hurt, so feel the feelings, understand how they are impacting you, take the actions that are in your best interest and do no harm to others.
