You just described how I experience the world! I am actually flabbergasted, someone else think (or feels) like I do. My spouse always shakes his head at me, says I am overthinking things or projecting and that I need to just ignore it and accept whatever is on the surface… but maybe I’m just okay the way I am. Maybe my ‘surface’ is different, because I never quite understood how to turn off noticing things/people/minuscule actions.
Absolutely. And yet, if we’re never seen, we’re never known.
There’s a cost to visibility but an even greater one to invisibility. The key isn’t shrinking, it’s building the capacity to stay with ourselves when we’re fully visible. What helps you feel safe enough to be seen, Moorea? Thank you for being here.
I’m sharing a piece that came from a raw place in my journey — a moment of unraveling that became an unexpected doorway to deeper love, surrender, and truth.

Interesting! Never knew there was a test to see if you're a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or deeply empathic.... taking this now :)
Yesss 🙌 keep me posted 😊
I just learnt to get quieter.
And let consequences prove what I had decided not to say.
Not everything needs to be defended.
Some truths reveal themselves better in time than in words. 😊

You’re definitely not alone in this. So many people see, feel, experience things the same way.
Some of us just process the world on a different frequency.
Noticing isn’t overthinking. It’s how we move through life.
And you’re more than okay. You’re just deeply aware. That’s a strength, believe me. 😊
Do you remember when you first realized you were feeling more than others around you?
"If we're seen, we're vulnerable. If we're vulnerable, we're overwhelmed." So true!
Absolutely. And yet, if we’re never seen, we’re never known.

If something in it resonates, a restack or mention would mean a lot.
It helps the words reach others who are quietly holding it all together — and wondering if it’s safe to soften.
With warmth,
