@sitwithmandy_ being highly sensitive and a people pleaser can be a rough combination. especially when you feel everything at a louder volume than most people, tension in a room, someone’s disappointment…the shift in a tone of voice, all of it so saying no feels unbearable, because you’re already absorbing what it might do to the other person before you’ve even said it. that’s why your nervous system reacts first and the yes rolls off your tongue and is trying to keep the peace before the discomfort even lands. hearing “you can take some time to think about it” allows us to take a breath, check in with ourselves and make a decision based on what we want vs what we think others would want to hear. Send this to someone who you’d want to hear this from and save it for yourself, the next time you need a reminder that your sensitivity is not a weakness, but rather a strength and testament to your character - your empathy and consideration for others, as long as it doesn’t come at the cost of your well-being 🫶 follow @sitwithmandy_ for weekly tips and insights on healing your inner child and nervous system. - #highlysensitivepeople #healyourinnerchild #peoplepleaserrecovery #childhoodtraumahealing #highlysensitivesoul
