Are you more sensitive than your friends? If you can’t brush off a joke or negative comment, the usual reaction is to blame yourself or escape the feeling. In other words, “fight or flight.” But what if there was a different way.
In moments when you’re feeling down, it’s worth it to dig into the feeling. Why did this particular statement hurt? Is it about this person or someone in your past who made you feel this way?
Feelings are always trying to tell us something. Whether it’s pointing you to an unresolved past or a potentially toxic person, listening and tuning in are the ways we heal and grow. So the next time you’re triggered, don’t wash away the feeling, try embracing it instead.
