Sensitivity is my Superpower

Sensitivity is often misunderstood as a weakness, a vulnerability that makes one seem

fragile in a world that often expects strength. However, I have come to view sensitivity as

my superpower, a gift that allows me to think deeply and creatively in ways that others

may not.

In my highschool days, whenever I found myself in minor conflicts with my friends, they

were so quick to label me “sensitive” and an “overthinker.” Over time, I’ve come to see this

as a compliment rather than an insult. My sensitivity enables me to engage in meaningful

conversations, delve into profound thoughts, and truly grasp others perspectives.

Challenges come with sensitivity, such as moments of vulnerability and the potential for

overwhelm. Yet, I have learned to embrace these challenges as opportunities for growth.

Being vulnerable nurtures my authenticity.

Looking ahead, my goal is to keep using my sensitivity to tap into deeper emotions and the

experiences it offers. Sensitivity isn't a weakness; it's a strength, a super power that allows

me to explore the world in a different way. It forms the core of my creativity, and I embrace

it as I aim to better understand myself and the world.
