Highly Sensitive People: Am I Being Too “Sensitive” About This Pet Peeve?

Post category:Friendship & Relationships

I read something recently about men posing with dogs on dating online sites. It turns out that they didn't actually own these dogs! They were trying to attract women through the false pretense that they were dog owners. I've been out of the dating scene for over forty years. Am I being too "sensitive" to believe that this is reprehensible behavior? I definitely have a pet peeve about this!

Highly Sensitive People/Introverts: Can you shift from sorrow to joy?

Post category:Grief Happiness

If you’ve never let yourself fully experience sadness, you’re missing one of the great character-building elements in your life. If you’ve never fully embraced joy, you’re missing one of the most potent building blocks to success and true happiness.

Grief is a normal part of life, the same as birth and deaths, but if you dwell too much on the sad times, you’ll never get to experience the joy that life has to offer.
