When Feeling Everything Becomes Your Superpower
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately sensed tension no one else seemed to notice? Or found yourself replaying a brief criticism for days while others shrugged it off in minutes? Perhaps you've been told you're "too sensitive" so often that you started believing something was fundamentally wrong with you. Here's the truth: nothing is broken. You're part of a remarkable 30% of the population whose brains are wired to process the world more deeply, feel more intensely, and notice what others miss. This isn't a flaw to fix-it's a neurological gift that science is only beginning to understand. The challenge isn't your sensitivity itself, but learning to thrive in a world designed for people who feel less.
