To Highly-Sensitive People: Love Yourself Inside-Out | Mingxuan Wang | TEDxGHCIS Youth
It seems that all the online discussions about high sensitivity are negative: "Stay away from highly-sensitive friends", "Don't date highly-sensitive lovers", confusing various "highly-sensitive", "anxious", and "avoidant" types and attaching negative labels to them all. The psychological isolation of highly sensitive people makes them even more trapped in internal conflicts. Mingxuan Wang doesn't deny that the improper use of high sensitivity can have a significant negative impact on those people around them, but the solution is definitely not isolation. Instead, she thinks that it should be about allowing highly-sensitive people to gradually coexist harmoniously with themselves, recognizing their characteristics and using them reasonably to make their lives more comfortable, while also maintaining stable and long-term relationships with the people they care about. She hopes everyone can love themselves inside-out.
