highly sensitive people
This article resonates with me. I have been accused of being "too sensitive" all my life. I feel very deeply, take a long time making decisions, worry a lot about what others think, and am pretty hard on myself. It often makes me feel like an outsider in our fast paced, feel good, all about me society. so, of course it affects my depression and anxiety levels. I also find that because of it, I tend to gravitate toward others who have these characteristics. People who also feel deeply, who also have passion about what others need and feel. People who see things on a deeper level. Do you feel your depression or anxiety is affected by your sensitivity level? Do you feel you are more sensitive than most? Does it affect who you want to be around, or if you want to be around anyone?
