#HighlySensitivePeople: Do you accept yourself as you are?

I partcipate in many online forums. I’m distressed to find that many highly sensitive people, introverts, empaths, and people that are shy and/or have social anxiety would like to be something that they are not. You may be surprised at how many people lack the ability to accept themselves for who they are. Many people are able to put on a front so they appear self-confident when they really aren’t.
