September 21 - Too Sensitive in The Beginning

I’ve always been a very sensitive person, I’ve always tried to impress people, I don’t like confrontation and I feel like a failure when I let someone down. This has been me my entire life. I hate it. I wish I could be someone else. It causes me a great deal of sadness and a great deal of frustration to those who don’t understand what I’m m talking about about. They think of me differently, they think its like a switch I can turn off. Its gotten to the point for the last few years, that if I kill an ant, I feel shattered. I’m too goddamn sensitive. Years of loneliness, years of other people telling me how I should be, years of failing to be somebody that I’m not to try to please them, years of relationship failure (both paternal and romantic).

Despite all of this, I am at a good point in my life. I just wish I could change it somehow. Maybe my secret wish is that I could be understood more and people respect me more. Perhaps, they already do. Maybe now I just need to build up my confidence, shatter the mould of self-crippling doubt that’s been built on top of me for years and just fucking go for it.

Practice.

But maybe there's nothing wrong with your approach either. Surely it has strengths?

I think there certainly must be strengths. I guess I'm not able to recognize them currently. Maybe I'll do some research.

That's the spirit!
