Perception shown and feeling hidden

We've always thought that simply doing the right things was enough to cultivate peace and harmony in our daily lives and in the lives of those around us. But divergence can bring happiness to one person and unhappiness to another. Human perception is so complex that it constitutes a chapter in psychology in itself, which is further divided into several sub-sections, all equally important. Nevertheless, there is a category of people who, on their own, can experience more than ten different personalities simultaneously. These are the people we call highly sensitive.

A normal person usually focuses on what is most important for them to accomplish. They will tend to do everything they can to achieve their goals. A highly sensitive person, however, differs from others because they see the situation from all angles, and when they perceive a danger, they are determined to do everything possible to avoid it. They might be accused of always dramatizing things, but how can you blame someone who is being cautious? What some perceive as a flaw is actually a rare quality that, when used effectively, becomes an unparalleled asset for the person who possesses it.

I have a question for you, my dear readers: If you were to learn one day that you are different from "normal" people, what would be your first reaction if you were obligated to move forward no matter what? Some might say they would do everything to stand out, but let's be honest, the best thing you would do is try to blend in while adapting to their daily lives. This is essentially the dilemma an highly sensitive person faces at every moment of their life. Sometimes they even think more about what others might think than about the problem itself. Their choices, their joy, their fears, their social circle—everything is calculated down to the second. Their life becomes a constant questioning of everything, to the point where they begin to wonder if their own existence is truly worthwhile.His questions seem meaningless to him, his fears trivial, his actions worthless. In the end, he hides behind a false smile that actually conceals endless sorrow and a person searching for their identity. But few will see through the facade and decipher the pain that lies within those who have ceased to see their reflection in the mirror of life. A highly sensitive person is far from being a liar, and yet there is no greater liar than him when it comes to his own feelings. For him, the happiness of others comes first, and his own concerns are insignificant compared to the needs of those around him. He is ten times more generous, ten times more sensitive, ten times more considerate, ten times more thoughtful, and this characteristic brings him perilously close to extreme depression.

In life, you will meet different kinds of people: those who will hate you, and those who will love you for who you are and what you do. You will also see those who force themselves to smile but who are inwardly suffering and silently crying out for help. These people will be willing to do anything to make sure you have what you need and will ask for more because that's how they hide their pain and keep going without giving up. They are far from strange or impossible to live with. They simply want to be loved and accepted for who they are, because the more they try to please everyone, the harder it will be for them to cope. Instead of this endless dead end, let's create a path so that they can finally use their full potential and focus on what truly matters: their own happiness and the happiness of others at the same time.
