"Highly Sensitive People see the world not just with their eyes, but also with their hearts. Sure, they can be hurt easily, and those wounds can run deep. But they also love and inspire others like no one else can."

- Jenn Granneman

"If you’re a sensitive person, you have a special ability: you love deeply. Sometimes this leads to pain, because not everyone can match your level of caring and intimacy. In a world that is often harsh, protect your heart and choose your inner circle wisely."

- Jenn Granneman

"As a sensitive person, your empathy can be a double-edged sword. Narcissists often exploit it for their own benefit, leaving you feeling used and unable to express your feelings and set boundaries. If you’ve ever experienced this, you may have been with a narcissist."

- Jenn Granneman

"Being a sensitive person can make you more vulnerable to narcissists, who exploit empathy for their own gain. If you’ve ever felt used or unable to assert your needs, rights, or boundaries in a relationship, you may have been with a narcissist without realizing it."

- Jenn Granneman

"Narcissists are drawn to sensitive people because they crave the validation, attention, and support that sensitive people naturally provide. However, this dynamic will drain and damage the sensitive person. Know the signs of narcissism and protect yourself."

- Jenn Granneman

"Being a sensitive person is like having a super sharp ear in a noisy crowd. Although sometimes it’s painful, you can hear faint sounds and whispers that others don’t catch."

- Jenn Granneman

"If you are a sensitive person, your body and mind respond more to the world around you. You respond more to heartbreak, pain, and loss, but you also respond more to beauty, new ideas, and joy."

- Jenn Granneman

"All humans are sensitive to some degree. There are times when all of us cry, get our feelings hurt, or reflect deeply on life. But some individuals are more responsive to their surroundings and experiences than others are. These are the Highly Sensitive People."

- Jenn Granneman

"Too often, we think of sensitivity as a flaw or a weakness. Society tells sensitive people to “toughen up” or “stop being so sensitive!” The truth is that sensitivity is a gift and an advantage in life."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people like a slower pace of life. We like pondering all our options before making a decision and regularly reflecting on our experiences. We hate busy schedules and rushing from one event to the next."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people need downtime not because they’re weak, but because they experience life in high definition. Breaks are key to processing the world’s vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and profound emotions. Embrace the quiet; it’s where the magic of deep understanding happens."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people feel the weight of the world, absorbing emotions like sponges, and sometimes, it can really hurt. But sensitive people also feel joy more passionately and give compassion more generously. When we love, it is deep and enduring."

- Jenn Granneman

"For sensitive people, a little support can go a long way. A kind word, a listening ear, or a safe space can make all the difference for them. Let’s show compassion and understanding for those who experience the world differently."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people are usually very aware of their own emotions. They pay close attention to how they feel and think about it later. They can also understand how others feel and empathise with them. These are just a few of their many superpowers."

- Jenn Granneman

"If you’re a sensitive person, your emotions can feel overwhelming at times. You may worry that your reactions are “too big” or not justified. Instead of trying to suppress or ignore your emotions, hear their messages. Don’t act on every message, but listen and consider it."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people build strong and meaningful relationships. They understand emotions well and can often tell what others are feeling even without them saying it. They tend to be kind and supportive, which makes people feel emotionally safe with them."

- Jenn Granneman

"Don’t let anyone tell you that sensitivity is a weakness. It takes immense strength and courage to navigate this often callous world with deep emotions and an empathetic heart."

- Jenn Granneman

"Here’s to the sensitive souls. To the observers, the empaths, the hearts-on-their-sleeves. You who go through life noticing and feeling more, which is both a gift and a challenge. Embrace your sensitivity because the world needs you."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people are driven by an internal quest for meaning. When something doesn’t feel right, it can be difficult for them to push through and just “do it anyway.”"

- Jenn Granneman

"Because the sensitive mind is wired to go deep, sensitivity is often linked to brilliance. Sensitive people notice details, make more connections between topics, and don’t give up easily, which often leads to better solutions and more creative artwork and ideas."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people have a special gift: they experience emotions deeply. This profound connection to the world around them can help them create art that resonates on a deep level, whether it’s painting, writing, or music. Their art isn’t just seen or heard — it’s felt."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitivity often goes hand in hand with creativity. The same depth of feeling that sometimes makes the world overwhelming also fuels creative energy. Sensitive souls have a rich inner life that often manifests in art, writing, or music."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitivity is often treated like a problem to be fixed. But being sensitive doesn’t mean you’re weak or easily breakable. It means you feel and experience things on a deep level… including other people’s bullshit."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people are often misunderstood as fragile, when in reality they possess an incredible strength and resilience. Their ability to feel deeply, reflect, and overcome life’s challenges is a testament to their true inner power."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people aren’t “too emotional” or “overreacting.” They possess the ability to feel deeply and observe keenly, sparking creativity, empathy, and insight. They aren’t broken — they have a gift. Treasure the sensitive people in your life."

- Jenn Granneman

"You’ll never be seen as “too sensitive” by someone who respects your feelings."

- Jenn Granneman

"“You’re too sensitive” is a harmful phrase that invalidates the experiences of sensitive people. Emotions are valid and should never be dismissed as weakness. Let’s create a world that celebrates emotional depth and empathy, and reject toxic narratives that shame vulnerability."

- Jenn Granneman

""Too sensitive" is a superpower that makes insensitive people uncomfortable."

- Jenn Granneman

"Being sensitive doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re beautifully in tune with the world around you. Your sensitivity is a special radar that picks up so many little things. Sure, sometimes it feels like too much — but your sensitivity is also a superpower."

- Jenn Granneman

"If you’re sensitive, your deep emotionality is why you’re an exceptional listener, why people naturally trust you, and why you’re probably the go-to confidant when anyone in your friend group needs advice."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people crave meaning in their relationships. Often, they are masters of connecting with others and creating emotional intimacy. In a time when society is more divided than ever before, they seek to draw us closer to one another."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people crave a deep sense of meaning in their lives. They want to make a difference and live a purposeful life. This desire drives them to pursue their passions and make a positive impact on the world around them."

- Jenn Granneman

"Don’t be fooled by the stereotype. Sensitivity isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength. Being deeply in tune with your emotions and your environment can help you navigate life with empathy and power."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people possess superpowers that include deep empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence. Their ability to read people and situations is unparalleled, making them great leaders, partners, and friends. Stop seeing sensitivity as weak and start celebrating it!"

- Jenn Granneman

"High sensitivity is not a disease or a disorder. It’s not something that needs to be overcome or fixed."

- Jenn Granneman

"Although society thinks sensitivity is a flaw, it’s actually an asset. Sensitive people are artists, leaders, and creators who think outside the box."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people might get overwhelmed by loud or intense situations, and others might not understand why. It’s helpful when friends or family see when a sensitive person is feeling too much and say, “It’s okay to take a break.” Having people who get them makes a big difference."

- Jenn Granneman

"For sensitive people, feeling overstimulated is normal. Instead of beating yourself up when you feel overwhelmed, remember that your brain is doing what it does best: going deep. Focus on the positive aspects of your sensitivity and remind yourself that it’s OK to take breaks."

- Jenn Granneman

"If you’re a Highly Sensitive Person, downtime is non-negotiable. It’s not about being lazy or avoiding responsibilities. It’s about giving yourself the space to recharge your energy and process your emotions and experiences."

- Jenn Granneman

"Change can be especially stressful for sensitive people, who feel more deeply and pick up on subtle cues in their environment. Make self-care a priority and find healthy ways to manage the stress, whether that’s through exercise, therapy, or building in extra downtime."

- Jenn Granneman

"It’s OK to cry. It’s OK to feel things deeply. Let yourself feel how you feel. You’re a sensitive person."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people may once have been our weather predictors, spiritual advisers, and trackers. Take that same trait and apply it to a teacher, a stock market trader, or a CEO, and you can see how sensitive people are still built to thrive today — even if society doesn’t think so."

- Jenn Granneman

"Sensitive people feel their emotions strongly, whether it be joy or grief. While it can be tough, it’s important to honour their emotional depth. We need to banish the idea that it’s not OK to show our feelings and create a world that prioritises empathy and support for all."
