For Highly Sensitive Humans And Empaths | Slow Living In English Countryside - Gentle Living

[@IamDaria]

Are you a sensitive person? I've started reading this wonderful book by Elaine N. Aron called The Highly Sensitive Person and I highly recommend it to those who want to learn more about their emotions and feelings. A quote that I couldn't fit into this video is this: “Our trait of sensitivity means we will also be cautious, inward, needing extra time alone. Because people see us as timid, shy, weak, or that greatest sin of all, unsociable. Fearing these labels, we try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming distressed. Then that gets us labeled neurotic or crazy, first by others and then by ourselves.” I thought this explains pretty well why we often start seeing our own emotions as a flaw. Perhaps it all comes from the "one-fits-all" type of mould that we're trying to squeeze ourselves in. It's okay to feel and it's okay to be different. 💕

[@DomBloch]

It took me years to be able to understand that all the emotions I was feeling were not mine, but, in fact, from the people around me. It's not easy being this sensitive, but feels like a super power sometimes. The best part is the tears of joy the second I feel the gentle warmth of the sunlight touching my skin. And definitely there is no bigger happiness than the happiness we empaths feel when we see another person truly happy.

I don't know how to thank you enough for this amazing video of yours my loveliest 🌸💮🩷🌷 It's so relieving knowing we are not alone in this world, just most of the time people like us don't live next door and we really feel that only animals and nature stop for a while and truly "listen" to how we feel making us visible 🐕🐈🐈‍⬛ Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing 🥰🤗

[@Escudera_de_Roble]

😃 Yes, yes, and yes!! 👌Sorry I'm late to comment (and ended up leaving a too long comment above 😅), but I cannot thank you enough for addressing this topic, Daria!! 🤗🥰👍👏👏👏

[@keithlomas6107]

Personally with respect I don't believe in labels. That said, to be sensitive and empathetic is a positive thing 👍

[@pasha3147]

I, too, am a highly sensitive person. I just learned this a few months ago, and it feels like a great transformation. I feel so empowered and happy that I learned it relatively early in my 30s, so I can carry this energy forward with me every day and be very intentional. Your videos help me feel grounded and make me want to be mindful and do things more slowly and with intention - thank you.

[@thinkoutofthelemon9087]

Melancholy & Happiness at the same time. It is difficult but also rewarding to feel so different emotions. Nature & Art always help us find our way. Wish you all a Happy Sensitive Journey in this life just Embrace yourself. With respect, Lemonia.

"I need not to be fixed or toughened up" ❤

[@Irene.Shalom]

It's life changing to finally understand who you've been your whole life. Not wrong, not crazy nor strange just highly sensitive. Every word of your video touched me...as it was an exact recounting of my own childhood and personality. Thank you 💗

[@atashakgem]

I am highly sensitive! I got it literally inherited from my mother, she suffered a lot in this world, incredibly beautiful soul yet ppl never appreciated her not even my father, they gave her more hard time, am sameeeee, I wish never been born, because I m not easily satisfied, every little injustice hurt me so strongly! I wish I were like most masses, didn’t care and be cruel, rude, loud , mean,,,, 😢,,,, but just like this video, love poetry, so naive, so honest, loved only classical music and my interests is as if from other universes,,,, 😢😢

[@Phantom_093]

It's so liberating to simply let yourself feel 🌼

[@IamDaria]

So so true ✨

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom in this very beautiful video! 🌸 Even though other people's advice might come from a good place, a place of wanting to help, they often overlook that a sensitive person might not need advice or help - because being sensitive is not a flaw. It is nothing that requires fixing. In my opinion being an empath is a beautiful trait in a world where there are so many self-centered individuals whose world only revolves around themselves.

[@IamDaria]

Ooh so true! I’ve been hearing this advice all my life and it never helped. Only made me less confident in myself & made me question every move and experience. Isn’t it so lovely that more people are talking more openly about this subject now and there are even books with actual research written about it!

[@amandayoder4456]

Another video that resonates with me! Oh, to be understood and accepted without feeling that I need to be fixed!

[@hannahhatt]

I feel so seen. Wow So glad that I discovered your channel ❤

[@anacarenina5447]

I loved this video. Nowadays, the society is not very open to the people that show their feelings. The emotional control is very wanted with pills and other stuffs. But it's okay to feel sad, cry and happiness.

[@IamDaria]

That’s so true! I feel like emotions scare people. Of course - they are an inconvenience to some, an obstacle in the current fast paced world. But I think a lot of people believe that learning about emotions and expressing them means doing so completely uncontrollably as if almost throwing a fit. I don’t believe it’s the same thing. Working through feelings and knowing the cause and effect is important. Numbing them will only create an even more broken human.

[@melindaferreira9879]

My daughter is the same. It's difficult for her to make friends, she often misses jokes, doesn't respond swiftly or wittily, doesn't speak in " teen language" you know those phrases teens use.. I never realized.. I think she's a highly sensitive person.. this is very insightful.. thank you .. beautiful words and content.

[@IamDaria]

Oh she might be! I was like that when I was a child/ teen but was always put in the environment where I had to “toughen up”. Which is not a bad thing, but I needed more time to come up with my strength, which I wasn’t often given & then just felt awkward and ashamed of my own inability to perform the same way as everyone else. If only I was given a bit more time and patience. Right now I’m not as shy anymore & I understand jokes much better and even developed my own sense of humour, but that took a lot of work through my own feelings. I’m sure she will be just fine! 🥰

[@melindaferreira9879]

@@IamDaria thank you. I agree. I'm glad you finally feel comfortable with who you are! 💯💕

[@debby891]

I was like that as a teen too, now 64 and am so glad I’m the way I am and not changed by others

[@gurkmeja2021]

Beautiful video in every way. ✨️ I'm also a HSP, took me many years to understand (I'm 63 now). I need much alone time to even function. Wishing you a wonderful weekend 💚 /Ditte 🤓 🇸🇪

[@miladyanne8411]

Thank you very much for this very touching and delicate video. I couldn't agree more... So for instance, crying when listening to a certain music is not being mad, then, it's just being sensitive... That'll help me feeling more comfortable with myself. Thanks again dear Daria !

[@TheNordicFairy1]

Thank you for a lovely and touching video. It’s true; it may not be easy to be a sensitive person and feel things deeply in this world with an overload of stimulation. But I see sensitivity as a strength nonetheless, not a flaw. It’s what makes us artists, mothers, poets, writers, video makers or what ever it is we wish to be and do. Have a beautiful summer weekend ☺️

[@onepartwild]

I've always been called over-sensitive by people who seemed very insensitive to my way of thinking, or abusive in nature. I am now at an age where I embrace my sensitivity, but it took many years to get to this point. You're way ahead of me. Congratulations!

[@dgl7568]

You are such a beautful human. I absolutely love your videos. They always teach me a bit more about myself. Thank you 💚

[@abakerscravings]

A beautiful and thought provoking video once again. You capture the beauty of nature so effortlessly, I’m in awe. Your words really touch home. Continue the great work that you’re doing in bringing peace, happiness, joy and a sense of calmness to this crazy world we call home. Thank you 🙏

[@IamDaria]

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! ❤️

[@vlad-mundi]

Whilst we are young and still clueless about the world and ourselves it's really easy to take others advice or ways of living as a gospel. The problem is that by far not all people actually know how to live, at least not in a way that would work for us. There's going to be as many views and experiences as many people are in the world so it's a journey that we have to embark on and find out, what is it that makes you feel alive, for ourselves. Beautiful video and thank you for sharing such deep topics!

[@IamDaria]

Absolutely agree! I think emotions get labeled as bad pretty much early on. On one hand, of course we do need to know when to express them loudly and when to control them, but control doesn’t mean suppressing! Life is so much more vibrant when you let yourself feel and when you teach yourself how to navigate those feelings rather than hide them for good

[@bluetoadflax2486]

oh that first sequence!-every frame is so beautiful and expressive, there's so much emotion in the wind and landscapes and you capture it so well

[@alexthai2456]

my grand mother said people who cry easily are good people. They cry because they are very sensitive....That mean they have good heart....that is why they easily feel touch of something

[@ankitapal8523]

I really loved your videos . Thanku so much ❤.God bless you so much sis❤

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

Gosh, this describes me to the "T"!!! I was ALWAYS told I was different, but this video is showing me there are others out there just like me! I am not alone!! 🙌🙏

[@Escudera_de_Roble]

😊 I can recognize myself so much in what you say!!😍 I already know I'm an introvert, which I didn't realise until I read a scientific article describing it😅, and I'm having the same feeling now about high sensitivity!💡I suspect both character traits are intertwined, one being the result of the other. 🤔Ever since the culture of flamboyant personality and networking replaced the old culture of character and merit, the world has become more difficult for us. Weak? It's just the opposite! 💪 We are the strongest, given the level of intensity and suffering we so stoically endure! 😁 On the other side, we can connect with levels of reality others cannot even imagine, and experience beauty and happiness in a unique way. 😊 It's only our natural reluctance to exposure (that so often prevents us from speaking up) what has kept our traits under the "character flaw" label for so much time, even to ourselves! But neuroscience has already stated that it's just the way we are, and is perfectly fine and even necessary for a healthy balance and advancement of humanity. 😊 Thank you so, so much for this beautiful and enlightening video, Daria!! 🤗🥰👍👏👏👏😘

[@brookeshaffer4377]

[@gojiberry7201]

I believe people want us to change not for our benefit, but for their benefit. We make them feel uncomfortable. I believed people when they said I was emotional and broken, and I ended up lost in the mental health system for many years. It never fixed me and solidified my ego as a broken, worthless person. After a tough awakening process (still ongoing), I've left the mental health system and am spending more time in nature, visiting my local psychic center off and on to take classes in energy work and get support from other people who don't fit in, reading books about mindfulness and spirituality. It's a process. Thank you for your videos. They are peaceful and I resonate with them. Love from the western deserts of the USA

[@IamDaria]

[@jessicalabier4559]

Simply watching this made me cry. I cry a lot simply out of appreciation and because I feel emotions strongly. I used to loath this about myself and as I get older I have learned to love it because for so long I would suppress my emotions and it felt as if I was dying within faster. Now I feel the most alive as I ever have because I allow myself to feel whenever I feel it is needed to express myself. It’s very rare to find others that can understand this or that are alike. I don’t think I have met anyone who is like this. I’ve seen others online that talk about it but it’s so strange to feel and notice that everywhere I have gone I’ve never encountered anyone that is like this. None the less, thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@dianeknott3655]

This was especially meaningful to me. You are so correct. Being sensitive is not a flaw.

Ohhh myyyyy is just like ME! Naive, cry easily, cry when I am so touched by sunset, by the moon light, talk to trees, animals, love peace and quiet, and,,,, I can’t wait I find my place on earth, I can’t wait long waiting longing 😢

[@Rocdag]

I have read that the gift of empathy arises from a childhood injury where in we had an instability for which we learned to be hyper sensitive to everyone else’s moods and our surroundings in order to protect ourselves from the potentially upcoming storm. Understanding from whence it came, we can learn to use that sense without the internal personal conflict that can still lurk underneath.

[@aisha7643]

I've been an hsp since childhood got told so many times I'm over sensitive. Never realized I was born this way. Decades later I learned about hsp and it just clicked. I don't think people who aren't hsp understand what it's like being one. I know exactly what you're talking about.

[@itsacharminglife]

"it's all about making sensitivity your strength" 🙌 thank you for your beautiful words and imagery! I'm an empath as well and cry very easily at beautiful (and tragic) things 🥹 p.s. the lighthouse shots are so incredibly beautiful!

I found your channel yesterday. Im so loving your slow soft videos, a true breath of fresh air. I can so relate to you. I am sensitive and have a sensitive daughter who struggles, I try to teach her to be comfortable in her own skin, also to cope with the noise and rush of the modern world. Thankyou for your thoughtful, peaceful videos they touch my soul ❤

[@IamDaria]

Ah thank you so much for your kind words! Sometimes it seems like the modern world isn't made for sensitive people, but I think there are more of us than it seems. To a different extent perhaps. But I'm so glad to know that more people come to accept their feelings, instead of right away labelling themselves as something bad. 🥰

To be a sensitive person in your life is not good thing. you could not face the hard experience ; there are person who seized this weakness of our feeligns .for that we must be reasonable and able to control our emotions.

[@IamDaria]

Being reasonable and controlling emotions is important indeed. But I don’t think that being sensitive means you can’t do that or can’t deal with hardships. Everyone is living through their own difficulties in life, though sensitive people and empaths feel that pain and pain of others more vividly (as well as joy). Hence we, as sensitive ones, have to learn to face these feelings, understand and process them because simply numbing or ignoring them doesn’t work.
