The Power of Storytelling for Highly Sensitive People

Highly sensitive individuals excel at storytelling due to their acute awareness of others' emotions and behaviors. However, they often create negative narratives about themselves based on their concerns about the feelings of others. This tendency can lead to distorted perceptions wherein they believe they are the cause of someone else's discomfort, which may not be accurate. Challenging these personal narratives and recognizing them as mere stories can empower sensitive individuals to adopt healthier perspectives and appreciate their emotional insights more positively.
