There is a particular kind of sensitivity that does not always look soft from the outside. You may notice what other people are feeling before they say a word, yet still prefer to make your own decisions. You may care deeply without wanting to belong to every group, absorb every mood, or explain yourself to […]

They feel heaviness in conversations that seem “normal” on the surface. They absorb moods, emotional shifts, and subtle reactions so deeply that it becomes difficult to tell where their […]
