5 Reasons Being Sensitive is a Good Thing

Too often sensitive people are judged harshly. Often feedback is one-sided--"you are over-emotional--you take things to personally..." the list goes on. Well, it's time to acknowledge why being sensitive is a good thing, and here's why.

1. You FEEL. Many people walk around and they don't feel much of anything. They may stuffed their feelings down with food or substances because feeling can be scarey.

2. You LOVE. Your heart is out there. Yes, sometimes you may love too much--giving yourself to someone who takes advantage of your kindness, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put yourself out there--just discriminate when you do.

3. You CARE. You try to be helpful more times than less. You are concerned about what happens to other people and try to make a difference.

4. You're INSIGHTFUL. You see the deeper meaning in situations and often understand what's going happening on different levels.

5. You TAKE CHANCES. More times than not, if someone is in need, you try to be there for them, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone.
