Assalamualaikum! Some people feel the world more deeply — and maybe you’re one of them. You notice every tone in someone’s voice, every pause between their words. You read between the lines of what others miss. You can’t ignore sadness in someone’s eyes, even when they are smiling. You carry the weight of others' emotions as if they are your own. That’s what it means to feel too much, too often. ![2151103671.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQUX5oLqXaDwcSHyXP6qr8VfE3F1xevkkS9pAEvvNkJcb/2151103671.jpg) _{[source ](https://www.freepik.com/free-ai-image/view-3d-book-with-student_133758881.htm#fromView=search&page=2&position=11&uuid=de9f0b26-9864-4a8a-98d0-fed80469588a&query=Psychology+book)} This has no official diagnosis. It does not qualify as a disorder. Yet it is true. It may be lovely -- and expensive. You can also become emotional over a movie or something you do not even get a single person to respond to, and also you can even go to bed due to the problem of another person. You are easily hurt and this is not due to your weakness but rather because you are open. You are vulnerable to energy, words, even a lack of words. And being deeply emphatic with that makes you worn out, as well. Others refer to it as emotional intensity. It is also referred to as hypersensitivity by others. But with you it is only like this, as though you had your heart out of your body. It is impossible to just turn a blind eye. There is no way to stop caring so much. That is the easy part. But the thing is like this: to be sensitive is not a vice. When most people around us value cold reasoning and the lack of taking anything personally, it is a wonderful ability to be sensitive emotionally. The world is in shortage of those who care, who cry out and who identify with, even at the expense of giving themselves out. Still, boundaries matter. You’re not meant to carry everyone’s sadness. You are allowed to say “no,” to rest, to care for your heart the way you care for others’. You deserve peace, too. So if you have ever thought, “Why do I feel everything so deeply?” hmmmmm , know this: it’s fine 👍 . You are not brokenn . You are built with a heart that listens louder than words. And while that heart may feel heavy at times, it also holds a beauty most people never experience. Wasalam.
