Are you too sensitive or are they being a disrespectful human? This question came through from a listener and I'm diving in to answer!

Welcome to SelfKind, a podcast for Highly Sensitive People who want to understand and befriend their sensitivity while finding ways to navigate the tricky bits.

In today's episode I'm sharing how you can figure out if your sensitivity is the issue or if someone else's behaviour is actually disrespectful or unkind.

Let's dive in.

You will hear:
- How insensitive comments are often framed as humour, which can lead to confusion and masking our true feelings
- Why knowing how you feel (and believing it) is important
- How your sensitivity can make it more difficult to identify disrespect
- The role of self-awareness and self-reflection
- Why overstimulation can make everyone your enemy
- and more.
