Being human we are not perfect we often learn new things from the time we are born till we perish. There are things that we at first disregard either because we don’t feel up to the task or don’t feel confident. State what area you felt weak in and turn into a strength of yours. I’d love to hear your stories as this can provide motivation to someone else.
 
I’ll go first. For most of my life I was very timid shying away from conversations and spotlight. However, as I gotten older I have become much more confident in my abilities being able to go from not wanting to speak at all to my classmates saying I speak eloquently. Of course I’m naturally shy so there are still moments where I get nervous but even though that is the case I still am up for the challenge now being able to speak in front of large audiences. :bloblul:
 
Obv teenage years feeling depressed the sensitivity feels a burden.
Got burned a lot when in my early (Still on going) young adult life, was homeless standing for my own goals/my relationship cus others just were too close minded.
It made me quite angry, confrontational etc for awhile for the slightest thing cus it felt like "Life has already done enough" (and tbh it did, destroyed a bond with the love of my life awhile, we lost a kid being forced to be homeless - we are still close by grace now, but that was a hard time too.)
to get to the *POINT* MY SENSITIVITY i once thought was a weakness but was a strength all along. helped me see through a lot, understand more, and accept if for nothing but peace in my own life.
I don't just understand my own feelings cus of that sensitivity and can stand for them, I can also be there for my friends and family/lady I care for cus of that as well and not be so self absorbed like i hear so many issues with amongst my friends stuff lol.

I grew up writing poetry (since my mom did so much like physical art and i didnt have the patience for drying or etc) ill just write for that exact reason - ill blast my soul on the page to trap the feelings but word it in a way anyone i share it with can relate to and hopefully help all that comes from that.

Getting older having some sensitivity isn't even just "Emotional" anymore, it's just understanding life as it goes on and being like "Aight well we gotta handle this so might as well make best of it"

theres a more serious answer for ya lol

Once I had a crippling ketamine addiction that cost me my job, my house, and my family, but now I realized I can fight the police and I'm pretty sure I'm bulletproof

many such cases!! if you can fight the police you can probably fight your family and knock some sense into them by now.

I used to have a lot of mental health issues and insecurities related to my social life but I've pretty much solved all of them and now I'm confident and don't have mental health issues. Most of them weren't hard besides vaping, but I do considerably less drugs than a year ago and I'm pretty much always sober minus some mood enhancers. Quitting vaping was a gamechanger, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. Quitting weed was second best, as it turns out it was making me a lot dumber and lazier than I thought. That said, when I'm off probation I'll have to make a real decision as to my consumption of that one.
