Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong or that you didn’t fit in? It’s not a great feeling.

As a highly sensitive woman you’re primed for connection—deep connection—and when it’s lacking, or the people surrounding you aren’t wired the same way, you might feel like you’re the “problem.”

But is that really true? Are we—highly sensitive women—the problem? How can we be when we’re born this way?  Something in the universal genetic sequences created our sensitivities and continues to create more sensitive beings. I know that’s not a mistake.

For me, part of “the problem” was because I didn’t have enough other sensitive people in my life who could appreciate me as I am. And who reflected back a back a positive role model for living life as a highly sensitive being.

When you must mold yourself to try to fit into environments or friendships that aren’t supportive, you’re left feeling like an outsider.
