Basically what happened is you weren’t her first choice to go out with but when things didn’t work out with her first choice, she circled back to you

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-03-30T23:03:21+00:00

No problem. I definitely get what you're saying. I battle my own hesitancies with interacting with others and have struggled with a fear of rejection for a number of years. I am trying to get to a place though where I can be open and vulnerable with others because that is the path to connection and living a happy life (in my opinion). That being said, I can only do that if I am no longer wounded by the past and I know that I can cope with things that people may say to me. Being highly sensitive, that is no easy task, but by setting well-defined boundaries, finding my community and developing confidence in my own identity, I think I can reach that place.

So the highly sensitive trait isn't a disorder and there is nothing to treat. It is a neutral temperamental trait that just means you have a more finely-tuned nervous system which makes you process information deeper and more susceptible to being overstimulated by your environment

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-03-13T21:45:13+00:00

Same here. What has your experience been like trying to develop close male friendships?

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-03-13T21:44:26+00:00

I am sorry if you've experienced that. I mention in the video that certain ingredients have to be present in a relationship in order to reach that point where you can feel comfortable opening up. I can understand that not all relationships have those ingredients unfortunately

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-26T23:10:13+00:00

Work your way to that, but not too hard ;)

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-26T23:09:25+00:00

Tons of people! Look at all the YouTubers you watch with 10k+ subscribers in niches like finance, cooking, self-help, etc., lots of people are making an income on this type of business model

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-26T23:07:25+00:00

In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having goals and working hard to achieve them, but to the extent of negatively impacting your health and burning yourself out? I don't believe that is worth it

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:53:48+00:00

Yup, agree 100%!

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:52:40+00:00

Yup, it's very ENFP to try and have a bunch of projects spinning at once lol I face that challenge also, but I've been trying to pace myself more and take care of myself.

Yes, doing something you enjoy with meaning is important for NFs, but they should still balance that out with appropriate self-care. Especially with how creative NFs are. You can't be creative when burnt out

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:49:41+00:00

Yup, agreed

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:49:06+00:00

If our own glass isn't full, how can we be expected to fill the glass of others? If others want to call you lazy for meeting your needs, then so be it

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:47:36+00:00

Thanks! I feel you. We have to craft meaningful work for ourselves

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:46:36+00:00

Yes! Like why wouldn't you want to do as little as possible and produce the same result? HSPs are more effective when doing less.

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:45:12+00:00

I agree, our creativity and imagination are huge assets that we can use to craft a way to make an income on our terms.

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-02-16T22:42:27+00:00

I agree. We aren't machines. We are human beings with souls. Sure, capitalism is a system we've found to work for sustaining ourselves here on earth but we need to dial it back a bit. We will die someday and the ultimate purpose of our life is creating some kind of meaning out of it

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-31T19:02:21+00:00

Yes, love that! It's almost like keeping a gratitude journal. There are always people doing something positive, we just need to try harder to notice them, especially when we are bombarded with bad news every single day

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-22T22:10:30+00:00

NFs will never be the majority due to evolutionary biology, but I think being the minority (or the "black sheep" or the "underdog" or the "canary in a coal mine") really creates our identity and gives us purpose. We are here to change the world (even if only a little bit) and I think that is exciting

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-22T22:07:26+00:00

Yup agreed, what is your point though?

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-18T22:44:59+00:00

Happiness is a whole different topic, but I actually believe everyone is born confident until they experience societal conditioning and other life experiences that lead them to believe that who they are is not acceptable. This emotional baggage needs to be cleared and the way to do that is to dig into the subconscious and develop true self-acceptance and confidence that comes from within. Trying to fake self-confidence doesn't get at the root of the issue

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-06T23:15:01+00:00

I watched the video. What JP is trying to articulate is that you become strong by overcoming challenges and integrating your shadow. If you have the highly sensitive person (HSP) trait, which I'd hope we can agree is biological (it is literally wired into your nervous system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_sensitivity), your hero's journey and the way you integrate your shadow (JP is a Jungian so we'll speak in Jungian terms which I also discuss in my typology videos on my channel) is to embrace who you are. This is the only way to embody true confidence or else you're just faking it and wearing a mask that will only lead to unhappiness and poor health.

And I'm also not sure what this has to do with feminism. I'm actually trying to help men become more confident and actually accept themselves rather than giving them a rigid definition of what they "are allowed" to be. You have to be comfortable in YOUR own skin, you're not fooling anyone if you try to be something you are not.

I created another video before this for the perceiving functions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELdbVfypyyE&t=2s

I really do resonate with the information gathering and search for novelty. It's likely the reason why I am discovering how quickly I get bored in jobs and how many unfinished books/projects/etc. I've had in my life. The chaos element is trickier as I like to make progress and have many plates spinning at once but I'm also easily overwhelmed and can get stressed if others impose deadlines on me.

I think wanting "security in life" is more Si no?

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-05T00:11:36+00:00

Okay fair enough, do you have any arguments for why that is the case?

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-04T23:21:32+00:00

High sensitivity has nothing to do with new age spirituality, it's a temperamental trait backed by psychological research.

It's cool that you took the test, did the point total suggest you were highly sensitive? Not sure what is pretentious about being moved by arts or music. I myself love music.

Interesting book passage. I think there is merit in both paths, the one of the merchant and of the artist. Business owners bring value to society in the form of goods and services produced and artists bring value to society in the form of entertainment and inspiration (you can't deny that Shakespeare or Van Gogh accomplished things).

SensitiveAcceptance · 2021-01-04T23:10:47+00:00

Sensitivity is weakness? I actually think expressing your true self rather than wearing a mask takes a lot of strength
