Some people feel too much. They are often told they are :
too much,
too sensitive,
too emotional,
too intense,
or too dramatic.
**************************
You experience emotions to an unusual level of depth , intensity and complexity that makes you feel both very alive but also very painful.
You have a constant stream of both positive and negative emotions; sometimes at the same time.
You plunge high into bliss and low into gloom in a rapid recession.
You know the meaning of despair but you also know beauty and rapture. When music or art moves you, you are flooded with waves of joy & ecstasy.
You are intensely passionate with deep empathy and sensitivity
You tend to form strong emotional connections
with people , places and things
You experience life with tenderness and nostalgia
You have deep concerns about others well being . When others are being abused you act like it’s happening to you
You intuitively respond to other peoples energy which can make you feel overwhelmed
Being so open and sensitive makes you vulnerable to social injuries which you create by getting too close to others
Your heightened sensory system makes you extremely sensitive to your surroundings which causes you to become overwhelmed from too much sensory input.
Highly acute perceptivity means you see beyond superficialities
You are bothered by hypocrisies, unfairness and struggle with people and situations
You are always the one to point at the elephant in the room when everyone else is trying to avoid it which makes everyone uncomfortable
In family situations you are easily scapegoated since you are the squeaky wheel or the problematic one
You have an innate urge to push boundaries of conformity , to question or challenge traditions, get frustrated easily with unfairness , corruptions and inequality even if it isn’t your cross to bear
You have a rich inner world that you escape to that’s all your own which you may have created as a child to escape pain
You have a strong need to seek and understand which causes you to analyze . This often gets you into trouble and you then appear to be critical and impatient to those who don’t understand you
You mix intellectual concepts with deep feelings which causes much frustration so often feel like you can’t keep up with others
You experience zealous enthusiasm about certain topics and your mind runs faster than your words can keep up
When you are absorbed in your personal passions , the outside world ceases to exist
You are highly capable of contemplative thinking and self reflection however you might be overly occupied with obsessive thoughts and self examination to the point of perfectionism and self criticism
You are extremely open minded
From a young life you may have felt deep depression at the meaninglessness of life, death and loneliness
You get frustrated with those around you who don’t share your perspective which creates panic within you and manifests into a sense of urgency
You feel a sense of responsibility for things that don’t concern you which cause you to learn and expand in areas you are unfamiliar with . This can emotionally paralyze you temporarily
You have so many hobbies you can’t keep up with them
Emotional intensity isn’t a pathology itself but people who feel intensely often feel like there is something wrong with them. Note: not to say that other pathologies don’t exist - depression, anxiety, paranoia can be present at times
Internalizing this leads to a sense of isolation and depression.
People who feel too intensely are very creative individuals who need to keep their minds distracted to prevent self sabotaging themselves
To those of us who are abnormally sensitive : sometimes ;
A torch is a blow
A sound is a noise
A misfortune is a tragedy
A joy is an ecstasy
A lover is a god &
A failure is death
too much,
too sensitive,
too emotional,
too intense,
or too dramatic.
