“You’re So Sensitive” and Other Things I No Longer Apologize For.
A field note on reclaiming your nervous system, your intuition, and your right to feel everything
“You’re so sensitive.”
It’s usually said with a smirk. Or worse—pity.
As if sensitivity is a flaw. A glitch in the system.
Something to grow out of. Push past. Toughen up against.
But here’s the truth I’ve earned—through blood, burnout, and every time I swallowed my instincts to keep the peace:
“Sensitivity is not weakness.
It’s wisdom in its rawest form.”
It’s your body telling the truth before your brain can edit the story.
It’s your nervous system reading the room when the words say one thing, but the energy screams another.
It’s your intuition refusing to be gaslit.
And yet… the world wants you to take it and shut up about it.
Smile through the discomfort.
Numb the ache.
Ignore the vibe.
Especially if you’re a woman. Especially if you’re “successful.” Especially if your truth might disrupt the room.
Let me be clear:
I’d rather be too sensitive than dangerously disconnected.
From myself. From my values. From what is actually happening underneath the surface.
Because sensitivity isn’t just about feelings.
It’s about discernment.
It’s about energetic intelligence.
It’s about power.
And I no longer apologize for it.
I work the way I do because I feel what others don’t.
I see what’s not being said.
I choose environments, clients, collaborators, and partners based on resonance—not just resume.
That’s not weakness. That’s strategy. That’s sovereignty.
So the next time someone calls you “too sensitive,” remember:
They’re not criticizing you.
They’re revealing what they’re unwilling to feel in themselves.
Let that be your cue—not to shrink, but to rise.
