Is Being True to Yourself Worth it Every Time?

Isn’t it funny how you tell someone exactly who you are and they act surprised when you’re yourself?

I’ve spent a lot of time working on myself. Therapy for about a decade, self reflection since the dawn of time. I even spend time alone and find it peaceful. But with all of that comes a deep. understanding of who I am, what I want, and the things that I need to get there.

I’m sensitive

Not just any type of sensitive. The type that will cry at he drop of a hat. I find all things funny and am amused by the pure structure of the human race. I feel all emotions, and I wear them loudly. This is something I’ve known since I was a child. Not because someone told me it was a bad thing, but because I was taught how to manage my interactions because of my sensitivity levels.

You can’t talk to people about their problems all the time because it will make you sad too.

That was something my mother told me before I was 10. She told me I was “empathetic” which, can often be used to replace sensitive but only in certain situations.

I cry when things are funny, sad, heartfelt, and infuriating. It’s a gut reaction. Tears. I wish it weren’t but alas, we’re here. But I also laugh at everything. Which goes against this right? I’m easy to please. Easy…
