7 Reasons Why High Sensitivity Is A Gift

Surely you know as well as I do that there are both advantages and disadvantages to being a highly sensitive person (HSP), but first and foremost, being a highly sensitive person is a gift.

It is time to change the popular belief that sensitivity to our experiences is not good. The time has come to understand that sensitivity simply means that you are connected to yourself in a very active and productive way.

If you still think this is something negative, I would like to invite you to read the seven reasons why it is a gift to be highly sensitive.

1. Being sensitive makes you more honest

Being highly sensitive makes you act on what you are feeling. Because if you don’t do that, you block yourself emotionally. This means that you share your feelings more easily. You express the emotion you are experiencing through every pore of your skin. It doesn’t matter how positively or negatively this could be interpreted.

You allow yourself to be authentic and to be who you really are. Blunt and limitless. Many people may think that there is a certain degree of extravagance to experiencing life in such a way. But the only thing that really matters is what your heart tells you. Because others will never be able to silence that. The more you develop this quality, the more freely you will be able to shape your own life the way you want.

2. Intensity determines your feelings

You feel twice as much as other people. You feel every single one of your feelings full of intensity: love, pain, disappointment and joy.

We are so shaped that we perceive intensity as something bad. The belief anchored in it is that if we don’t know how to handle it, we can’t control ourselves either.

However, I wonder what is so wrong with not letting everything in life slip by? Learning to deal with your own intensity that lies in every feeling, every word, every moment in life and our existence will be incredibly wonderful.

3. You connect with life

For me it is one of the greatest gifts that comes from being highly sensitive, the ability to fully connect with life. Every single day is incredibly meaningful. Everything is inexpressibly valuable because there is a hidden meaning behind everything. This allows you to experience all the magic that surrounds you. This way of being shows you why you are who you are. It shows you the hidden meaning of who you are and who you love. Actions are no longer commonplace and clichéd. You accept life in its flow and with all its changes completely and are grateful for what you feel and enjoy. Above all, you allow yourself to go with the “flow”. That makes you so free. So free to be aware of the hidden meaning behind absolutely everything.

4. Your heart shines for you and those you love

Due to the high sensitivity you perceive everything emotional on an extraordinary level. As a result, your empathy also develops to unexpected proportions and makes you more compassionate when you use this gift in a positive way.

You can take on an external situation because life gives you the task of listening and helping unconditionally. You learn that you can say no, but you always like to offer your help to those who deserve your unconditional love and your big heart.

5. Your intuition is precious

You have such a strong sensitivity that you can perceive things that are beyond what is accessible to most people. If you give yourself to the “flow” and leave even the most elementary things behind you, your intuition will awaken in a supernatural way. And you can make it a powerful tool to help you feel fulfilled and happy.

Then you allow yourself to feel situations and emotions, both your own and those of other people. In this way you can deal with your being and above all with the love for yourself, for life and for those you love. You subconsciously help them. Your heart will get bigger and make you a better person, believe me.

6. You are good with people

Admittedly, this happens to me here with my partner. When you are a highly sensitive person, you feel the radiance of the people you interact with. It’s like a treasure map. This radiance leads you to the real potential of this person, their needs and intangible secrets.

You are very receptive. You feel intensely what others need and know a lot as a result. All of this enables you to create unconscious connections full of intensity with your loved ones and your surroundings.

7. Being highly sensitive is part of who you are

There will always be a lot of people who don’t understand you. They may try to discourage you by underestimating the fact that high sensitivity is something wonderful and good. Because people tend to reject something immediately if it scares them. They don’t even think about whether it will help the other person or not.

As has happened to me, you have probably felt misunderstood endless times and had the feeling that something was going wrong in your life. But I hope that based on these 7 reasons you will recognize the enormous potential and the important gift that lie in high sensitivity and your right to enjoy it.

“Sensitivity is the self-centeredness of the self. It is about what is sensitive and what is not, in the feelings. The human being as the measure of all things – in other words, measured against nothing – who compares everything but is incomparable, is confirmed in his feeling. “

Emmanuel Lévinas
