1 day agoThe Sensitivity Paradox
About 20–40% of people have highly sensitive nervous systems, which can increase bullying risk but also provide thoughtful, intuitive strengths.
Picture this: You've just spent an amazing evening with friends. The conversation was great, everyone was laughing, and you genuinely had a wonderful time. Yet the moment you get home, you collapse on your couch feeling like you've run a marathon. Your social battery isn't just low; it's completely drained. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. And despite what many people might tell you, this doesn't mean you're antisocial or that you didn't truly enjoy yourself.
