Highly Sensitive People: Can You Teach A Cat To Moo?

Post category:Self Awareness

As a highly sensitive person, how often do you expect others to act in a way that they are not capable of? I often do this! Frustration over the behavior of other people is a major source of stress for highly sensitive people.
