Eating grapefruit & I'm reminded of the time me & Person X had to supply breakfast for a group. I talked over ideas with the host, we settled on store-bought croissants, muffins & grapefruit. At the breakfast literally nobody (except me) ate what I brought, not even the host who approved the items. Person X's food was finished & I had to bring home all my leftovers. I felt so embarrassed & slighted.

This is why at any potluck I always make sure no dish is untouched.

Dnes (6. 10.) je Medzinárodný deň vysokej citlivosti.

👉 Vysoká citlivosť, známa aj ako hypersenzitivita, je osobnostná črta, ktorá sa vyznačuje intenzívnejším vnímaním zmyslových vnemov a výraznou citlivosťou.

👉 Vyčerpanie, strata výkonnosti, znížená koncentrácia a pozornosť, kardiovaskulárne problémy, podráždenosť, úzkosť, poruchy spánku a dokonca aj tráviace poruchy sú opakujúcimi sa príznakmi u vysoko senzitívnych ľudí. V dôsledku nedostatočného pochopenia a dôveryhodnosti zo strany okolia sa znižuje ich vlastné sebavedomie a trpia, čo môže viesť k duševným ochoreniam (depresia, úzkostná porucha).

I was photographing highly sensitive child yesterday. It's important with them to communicate. You do not touch without a permission and you need to hear if the child is comfortable in the situation. When you touch you communicate how, why and where you are touching (like hair on the face). Best compliments came from the child, she loved the images. She thought herself kind of ugly because many times adults do not know or do not want to know how to act and behive with highly sensitive children. Because of that the images they get... Well, it's not a good thing for a childs developing self-esteem.

Just had a small reminder that when dealing w/ The Outside World, one must always #SelfAdvocate! Not especially easy for a #HighlySensitivePerson like me, who is uber-conscious of overstepping.

I called to re-schedule an annual appointment.

Me: Hi, I'd like to re-schedule my July 2024 appt to August 2024. Is the August calendar open yet?

Them: No.

Me [suspicious]: Um, when will it be open?

Them: Next month.

Me: Uh, I got a July 2024 appt in July, so shouldn't August 2024 be open now?
