I Am a Sensitive Person
Lots of people don't realize this about me, but I can be really sensitive. Not to the point I'd cry over any little thing, but to the point it really effects my life.
For example, today me and my friend were discussing how to use the remaining money we had. I was just throwing out ideas, while he was more interested in just pursuing his idea than mine. I could easily tell the annoyance by his facial expressions, and his tone of voice when he said "I don't care what we do with it". Although I didn't show that it hurt me, it sent a chill down my spine. Not the scared kind, but the kind that only comes from being around negativity. It made me feel weird almost the whole time I was with him afterwards. I know I won't be thinking about it say, a week or two from now, but for the meanwhile it's going to kinda bother me..
I let little things like that get to me. I [b]know[/b] I shouldn't, but it's hard not to realize how much you mess things up and how little mistakes like that have [u]literally[/u] ruined my life in the past. Being a sensitive person really, REALLY has it's flaws. Actually, I found out a few months ago that there was a term for people like me - Empaths. I'm not the type to categorize myself with others by any means whatsoever, but it's the best thing to describe my sensitivity. Loud noises hurt my hears, I can feel what others are feeling most of the time, and nobody understands just how hard it is to express my [i]own[/i] feelings. I always feel like nobody will understand, even if I [i]tried[/i] to explain it to them.
I feel like the sensitivity I possess just further proves how [u]complicated[/u] of a person I am. I try not to let it be a problem at all most of the time, but sometimes, I can't help but just show how I really feel; Empty.
