You are not too sensitive
Sensitivity is your gift!
What Scott says
You are not too sensitive for this world. You are not too sensitive for your friends. You are not too awake for your family. You are not too conscious for your environment.
Your environment is insensitive. Your environment is not conscious. Your family is not awake enough. Often, people that are very sensitive and have strong emotions and a tendency towards awakening and increased consciousness, often they do not fit in with their family of origin.
It's we call it a fitness issue, meaning it's not that your parents didn't love you or didn't try to love you, but rather they didn't have the depth of seeing, knowing, sensitivity, and conscious awareness that you had. And so, when they looked at you, they could only see a small piece of you, as opposed to being able to connect, see, and value all of you as you needed as a child. And that creates the attachment wound, which drives the seeking, which drives the running from emptiness, which drives so much of the suffering.
And it just so happens that when we fully run, we fully suffer, we fully avoid our own emptiness, we rapidly fall apart, and the universe shows us what we truly are.
