I hope I'm not the only one out there who cries so easily. It doesn't take much...a thoughtful commercial, a dead racoon on the side of the road. I feel too different from everyone around me. It's difficult to get along with people. I have a hard time making friends...with people (animals love me as I love them). People seem so thoughtless/uncompassionate at times. I don't have many friends, it gets a little lonely at times. Are there others like me in this tribe or others that can relate?

Re: so sensitive, so misunderstood
Wed, December 29, 2004 - 11:39 PMOH yeah. I was just watching "The West Wing" on DVD tonight and started tearing up at certain points.
I think this tribe is full of people who can relate. I've had problems making friends my entire life. I only relatively recently realized that my worklife was not uninfluenced by the same factors. It's probably held me back in my career, to be honest.

Sat, January 29, 2005 - 6:06 PMI'm having this problem right now and currently depressed. So, that's not helping. I'm crying at everything and people are losing patience with me. -

Re: so sensitive, so misunderstood
Sat, January 29, 2005 - 11:39 PMIt's ok to cry....just don't let their impatience get you down even more. I get into my bouts of feeling pretty down myself...happened just tonight matter of fact. Helps to have someone to chat with. Do you have any friends that you can call that can relate to you/more sympathetic? -

Re: so sensitive, so misunderstood
Sun, January 30, 2005 - 1:53 PMlife is just hard that way sometimes, things can seem impossible or harsh in this world. i think it is fantasitic that you feel the way you do. so many people would rather just suspress their feelings. maybe there wouldn't be as much violence and hatred if people were more honest with their feelings. i know for me life has brought me close to the edge on several occasions. real friends are very hard to come by, i am very sure that many people go through their whole lives without ever knowing a sincere friendship. quantity is for the bean counters quality is what should count.
btw zeelala what a facinating life you lead, judging from all your photos. the kitties are all adorable too! -

Re: so sensitive, so misunderstood
Sun, February 6, 2005 - 5:29 PMI think that's a good point (people who would rather suppress their feelings). I would go even further to say that there are people who can't identify their feelings. With HSPs, I think we are sometimes hit harder by certain things than others are, but, on the flip side, I would like to believe that that makes the highs all the more sweet. Still, I know that it's frustrating when you're feeling like you're on that lower end. -

Sun, May 27, 2007 - 3:25 AMI understand where you are coming from. I find it hard to make friends and sometimes it lonely. It is especially hard at work where you are precieved as ` sensitive` and they take the piss out of you because of it. Very frustating!!!

Mon, May 28, 2007 - 12:12 AMi hear ya sister!!! The stuff you wrote i can relate. It is hard and i am called the sensitive one at my workplace, hence the tears. I too find it hard to make friends, and poeple around me only think of themselves. I am so glad to find this group!!! :)
