This really resonated with me. My wife often reminds me that some people just can’t handle my level of care but that doesn’t mean I should be different. It hurts when I feel like I’m too thoughtful or want to spend too much time with friends, but also, isn’t that what you do with people you care about?
As a highly sensitive person, I sometimes wish I could just turn the feels meter off for a few hours and experience the peace of not having to worry about if I’m too much.
Datrianna, thank you so much for this. I know exactly what you mean! I've occasionally wondered how "too thoughtful" can even be a thing. It's definitely jarring when people you've invested in aren't able to give the same in return. Keep caring--where it feels safe and generative, that is--the world needs it, and we are lucky to have you.
This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. ♥️♥️♥️
