Why don’t I fit in-Why can’t I be more logical and rational?

Why don’t I fit in? Why don’t I think, feel, act (and react) like other people?

We could easily add, “Why aren’t I more normal?” to this series of questions—all of which remind us, the Highly Sensitive People of the World, that we don’t experience life the way “everyone else” does.

It turns out that it’s actually less about our assumptions about ourselves than our assumptions about “everyone else.” Because although some research has suggested that 20% of the population is highly sensitive, my own work suggests that number is much, much higher.

We’re going to look at 3 ways that understanding how “Empathetic Logic” can help put things into perspective and easily cause a shift in our greater consciousness.

What does it mean for you to know that lots and lots and lots of people are more sensitive than you think?

1. When you’re really, really sensitive, the world can seem heartless. Full of heartless people…bullies…the uncaring and cold. Yet, as mental health professionals the world over can tell you, the truer picture is that, most often, bullies started out as victims themselves, and the cold and uncaring often started out as openhearted and tender, only succumbing at some point to the overwhelming need to protect against their environment by shifting their reaction to it.
2. If, for a moment, you consider that all these people began their lives as souls capable of exercising free will, do you think any of them consciously chose misery as their life plan? Probably not. And yet, free will is the gift we receive when we make the choice to enter into human form for a first, second, or eighty-ninth lifetime. Choosing to enter as a highly sensitive being gives you the chance to understand connection to others profoundly and deeply. It also gives you the chance to maintain that connection without fear of negative repercussion, if and when you learn to understand the nature of that sensitivity.
3. When you define people as sensitive or not sensitive according to their self-described personalities, you are missing the boat. Sure, some of us are more sensitive to pain, to smells, to thoughts. There’s no denying that. Yet, the more accurate analysis reveals that we are simply the ones who have been unable to shut down aspects of ourselves that we absolutely know, on some level of our being, that we would rather not shut down. We want to feel. We want to sense. We want to connect…and are given the opportunity to learn from our abilities every single day.

In other words, most people are highly sensitive! Most people, however, have, for a myriad of potential reasons, felt compelled to defend against and live their lives by buying into anger, fear, the “win-or-lose” mentality, the “weak-vs-strong” mentality, the “me-vs-you” mentality, and the “be the shark or be the chum” mentality.

Here’s what I know, and what I hope you will discover as you enter the Intuitive Logic Project.

• Being an empathetic soul/human is a good thing that innately expresses its own form of logic.
• Being a high-sensitive is a LOGICAL way to live your life when you know how to view your intuition as a logical process.
• Using your IGS, your Intuitive Guidance System, to tap into what you know and trusting what you know, is an inherently logical process, one that will serve you unfailingly once you learn that “logic” is not only for those who see themselves as objective, as realists, or—more aggressively—as the sharks of the world.

Highly Sensitive People are no less objective, no less functionally capable, and no less qualified. We just think differently and move through the world differently. All we need to do is be more intentional with our sensitivities—our insights—and apply them to understand ourselves and contribute to the world.
