?? Too sensitive? Or just too real for a world that doesn’t get you?
How dare you say she’s too sensitive like that’s a bad thing! How dare you stand there judging her, like you're any different? She could be you. You could be her. Sensitivity isn't a flaw—it’s a deeper way of experiencing life. She feels everything intensely. And the world tells her to just “toughen up.” But it's not that simple, is it?
?? Your heart is heavy because you feel everything—but how long can you carry this weight?
She’s constantly exhausted. No matter how much time she gives herself to rest, she feels beat. Out of it. And that, on repeat every day. Why? Because she connects with others and the world on the deepest level. When someone says, "You could have done this differently," she doesn’t hear a choice. She hears: "You’re not good enough."
?? Why are you letting their words destroy you over and over?
The criticism doesn’t just sting once—it replays in her mind over and over. From doubting herself, she slips into feeling paralyzed, trapped by self-criticism. She wishes she could just dig a hole and disappear sometimes. Her life? Built around avoiding disappointment, avoiding confrontation, protecting herself from being hurt again.
?? How long will you let your own mind torture you?
It’s hard for her to get out of her own head. She replays mistakes and worries about how others see her. So, she takes on the role of a perfectionist, saying yes to everyone and everything. She feels their needs. And the thought of not pleasing them? That makes her anxious. Where is she in all of this? Where are her needs?
? Who convinced you that being perfect is the only way to be worthy?
Her brain tells her this is just who she is—constantly trying to be perfect, trapped in a cycle of self-neglect. But how her brain functions isn’t who she is. The brain is a muscle, and she has control over it—not the other way around.
??♀? Your mind is controlling you—but what if you could turn the tables?
She can change how she communicates with herself. But first, she needs to understand why she talks to herself this way.
?? How much longer will you ignore your own needs?
Don’t make an excuse or tell yourself, “I’ll get back to it later.” Let right now be your new ‘later’.
Record these phrases on your phone, then listen back and answer with the first thing that comes to mind. Don’t overthink—just let your guts speak:
? I feel triggered when people say something about me because…
? I care so much about how others see me because…
? I doubt myself because…

? I push myself beyond my limits because…
? Enough for me is when…
When was the last time you gave yourself the compassion you so easily give others?
When was the last time you gave yourself the grace you so naturally give others?
?? What if letting go is the only thing holding you back from real freedom?
I want you to picture how freeing that would be. What if, just for one day, you care but not that much? What if you were to start your day serving your needs, your wants, and desires? How would you then experience approaching the outside world? Sit with those thoughts for a moment.
?? Five minutes to break free from the chains in your mind—will you show up?
This Friday, I’m hosting a live event—just 5 minutes of deep self-reflection where we’ll go beyond the surface and get into how you can shift your inner dialogue. This is your invite. Let’s make your life lighter, together.
?? Your inner voice is shaping your life—and it’s time to take control of the conversation
Just like you, she was told to toughen up. She thought she had to live like this forever. But she didn’t. She learned how to create new patterns, change her thoughts, and transform her life. And so can you.
?? You’ve handed over control of your life for too long
When will you take it back? Change isn’t some big, faraway goal. It’s a decision—one you can make today. You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of other people’s expectations or keep pleasing people. I’m not talking about jumping from wall to wall or being ecstatic 24/7, no! Let’s be reasonable. I’m just asking you: when is Now a good time for you to start feeling good again?
?? You’re on the edge—either fall or take a step toward peace
Let’s talk. Look, there’s only one reason you’re still reading: You’re sick and tired of feeling overwhelmed and burned out. I want you to consider turning sensitivity into your superpower. Send me a private message and let’s continue this conversation—but let’s make it truly about you and your hows. Bring your self-reflection to a one-on-one chat with a professional who cares about getting you where you want to be. Change is a decision away, and if it is to be, it’s up to you.
Say it with me: “If change is to be, it’s up to me.”
With love and care,
Maty x

6 个月Yes, I am very sensitive, when I see news on TV I break down, an instant headache.. Strikes me down. But I have started cutting off unnecessary pains and struggles that put me down. I focus on what actually matters to me. That's really helping me. Thanks Maty Mariko
