There are many different directions I could go with my thoughts on this, but if I waited to come up with the perfect way to say it I probably would end up not commenting at all so here goes.<br /><br />The first thing that comes up is a universal truth that while it applies to everyone I believe HSP's in particular need to keep this in mind. "What you focus on grows" Which is why no matter what we've been told it is of utmost importance for us HSP's to maintain a positive focus about ourselves. This is not always easy to do and I'll be the first to admit I have fallen of this wagon several times.<br /><br />Another thing I've noticed happens a lot is when a person (especially an HSP) believes they have been guilty of dumping, dwelling on problems & being stuck even if it's in the past then that person often feels it is their duty to put up with the same behavior from someone else. To use a term we're all familiar with they enable.<br /><br />I've come to realize that to make a person comfortable in a behavior that is self destructive to them and physically & emotionally draining for me isn't really the kindest thing I can do in the long run. <br /> <br />I'm most definitely an HSP and I have been called "brutally honest" & "mean" before by people I have ultimately had to let go from my life because they were unwilling to look at their behavior. I'm in no way implying that my own behavior has always been stellar, but I honestly believe that "pity party's" should happen alone and cause enough discomfort to promote real change.Lotus21https://www.blogger.com/profile/14467570565719003295noreply@blogger.com
