As a HSP male there are two phrases that basically summarize my approach to life and interactions. "Know thyself"and "live authentically" talking about occupations and feeling alone your story is similar to my story. I joined the Airforce at 21. Deployed to afghanistan witnessed and experienced things there that shook me to my core. When i came back. No one (not even fellow airman) understood mr or even bothered to ask me about my experience. I was making money but decided this was not it. I got out of the military pursued my MOS in the civilian sector and went to college....got my degree in history with an econ minor. Wasnt happy in my work. Pandemic hit. I was laid off from a 5 year job. Decided to become a middle school social studies teacher. Recently found where im moat happy. Being a male teacher in a core subject has its own challenges (lots of stereotypes) but i find myself in a position to make a HUGE impact. If i had lived authentically from the jump i would have gotten here sooner. Dont be afraid to embrace who you are. The world will tell you its stupid, its dumb its impossible, your weird and who you are in unacceptable. That all BS be who you ARE everything else will fall into place. *namaste*

Brah!!!! Your story sounds like mine. Just joined the navy after 911. Ended up off the coast of Iraq. But man. Wanted to be a teacher. Never got the chance. Got a girl knocked up and decided I had no time for college. Like an idiot. Hate my job still. But I'm the manager so it's OK. Would rather love being a teacher. And man. Know thyself. Wow. Glad to know I ain't alone. Peave and love.

[@nicelikejesus]

Bro i see you stop posting. Dont give up. Just thought you needed to see this. Great video. Found out i was HSP at 40. Dont give up. Thanks for videos like this. Had to scroll a while before finding someone who looked like me posting on HSP.. Dont give up Brandon. ✌🏾

[@vonettawilliams3754]

Thank you for living your truth and for advocating for sensitive men. Being a highly sensitive woman is one thing but I can't imagine what it's like for you all being that society frowns upon sensitivity, especially in men. Bless you!

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

Thank you for being you Vonetta, and for your kind reflection. This is such a beautifully amazing time to be alive and thrive in the world, as the opportunities are limitless (which includes said opportunities for the highly sensitive men who are willing and ready to step deeper into their life's calling) 🙏🏿💜

[@rikubear6549]

Its been a tough road. But you roll with the punches learn and always come back more in tune. When a friend, co worker or loved one goes through difficult things you are able to show up more than most other men. It makes a hige impact. Im proud of who i am. Screw everyone that targets and ridicules good people like me

[@Markiiee300]

I feel this, as an ENFJ I have a thick skin, but I still feel intensively. In some situations I was like why am I tearing up or crying, I'm a man, I shouldn't cry here

[@paulcooper-n2v]

I hate being highly sensiitive as a man.

[@behroozshahdaftar4209]

I can relate.

[@YourPointOfViewPodcast]

Same here I'm too sensitive

[@AhmedDiiriye-gm6um]

I also hate being sensitive man how can i become unsensitive

[@NFSMAN50]

So relatable, This is me. On the test, I got INFP and I've always felt out of place with other guys. I am a HSP, and I was ridiculed for it lots. Glad to be here!!

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

It's an honor to have you here! Know that you are loved and you are needed 🙏🏿

[@orangejuicesimpson7233]

I'm an INTP, but I still feel as if I have sensitivity issues also

[@williamshaw8106]

Ditto!! 😊

[@Sonicxis4ever]

I’m Enfp and mostly get along with infps. You’re not alone but in terms of the mbti, being a xnfx type is very rare because most of the world is sensing + thinking or a combination of sensing and feelin

[@danielowen9210]

You are a beautiful human being. I love your vibe and everything you are saying resonates with me. I'm an HSP and felt like an alien growing up. Subscribing.

[@afroprince5262]

ENTP but I can def relate , there have been times where I wish I didn’t care .

[@woodworkerdaniel6394]

I can see your sincereness. Not even reading this up. Straight from the mind 👌🏻. I still don’t like that others don’t value your ethical better way of living. Hsp can be proud men!

[@stevenlomon]

Wonderful video and message! I'm a 27 year old INFJ and I wholeheartedly resonate with everything and appreciate all the wonderful wisdom in this. Truly grateful that you have taken the time to put all of this into words so thoughtfully. Thank you for sharing and expressing 🙏

[@BlackMagnolia]

Being HSP isolates you from being treated like a normal person you get made fun of for being too sensitive that s*** sucks

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

BlackMagnolia, there's a beautifully sensitive power in being an HSP. My heart goes out for thr pain in which you're feeling, but please know that your sensitivities (when harnessed correctly) are a much needed gift in the world 🙏🏿

[@art_different_happylife]

Hi Brandon thank you for your video, just found you here on youtube. I also noticed your last video is one year ago, I like your style and authenticity, I am not a man but I enjoyed your videos (-: I also work with highly sensitive people, INFPs, intuitives, creative (mostly woman). Thank you for making this world a better world. (-:🙏

[@criticalthinker72]

Not to take away from the van but lot of women feel like those too

[@starrynight6817]

I was just going to say that. I'm not a man, but I've experienced this also.

[@DivineSoul-gd8sd]

I can feel your energy, your so gentle, and I know you make people feel super comfortable who are around you ❤

[@lizardluminals9324]

Hey brother, this is as great video. I can relate to you so much and it’s really nice to know there’s other guys like this

[@AM3RICAN]

Thank you man! For real

[@georgehopes939]

Thank you for this ♥️ i am also an INFJ and just found out about HSP and I am one, I am grateful to know my kind and this is really meaningful and something i am grateful for turly.

[@jacobfingeret2087]

This is awesome Brandon, Thanks for sharing. I relate 100% as a HSP/ INFJ Male. Keep posting please!

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

Thank you for sharing Jacob, I'm grateful to know you found some resonance with the message 🙏🏿

[@keanescott9501]

All of it makes sense. Everything stuck out and harmonize within me. Thank you very much for both sharing and expressing this.

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

Thank you for your openness in receiving it Keane 🙏🏿

[@BigManTate7364]

Damn, I didn't know I needed to hear this but I'm glad I clicked on this video! I relate 100% and I realize I need to find some other men (or women) who can talk about this and understand it so I don't have to feel like an alien as much and can share my gifts with the world. Thank you for sharing this 🙏

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

Glad you found resonance within it Tate, thank you for the heartful reflection 🙏🏿

[@YouTubechrist]

Brother! Thank you for your message. I always felt like I didn’t belong and this made me emotion, because I thought I was always so weird. Now I’ve learned how to love and accept my gift and see how god is using it( my being) to help others ❤️🙏🔥

[@kallebroxvall5641]

Hi Brandon! I guess I just want to say I'm really happy I came across this and that you opened up to talk about this. I am a fellow alien and connecting with people has always been a difficult challenge as far as someone who could actually understand me and not just me them. But I could tell immediately as you began to speak that we're of the same tribe. Bless you man and I hope your channel grows!

[@RR-fe8yt]

Appreciate your initiative .... 🤗 Sensitive men are adorable

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

I'm appreciative of your reflection RR 🙏🏿

[@radicalhonesty3628]

I try so hard to focus on the video and I cannot. I just can't. I can barely breathe through the pain I'm feeling. It's like a 999-trillion pound weight on top of my chest. I am breathless in my agony. My soul is raped. I am tormented and tortured by grief and sorrow.

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

I invite you to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths into the base of your belly, and know that you are deeply loved. I acknowledge you for sharing your authentic feelings, and I send peace and kindness directly to you from afar 🙏🏿

[@radicalhonesty3628]

@@BrandonBennettCoaching bless you

[@freddelegrill]

Hey! I really appreciate this, almost everything you described resonates with me, i feel this is the time 🙂👍🏻 / INTJ

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

Thanks Fredrik, I'm glad to hear you felt some resonance within the video 🙏🏿 And yes, I indeed do agree that this is the time (as it's more needed on a collective level now, than it's maybe ever been) 👍🏿

[@AI-cp1jg]

I always felt like I was outside in the cold lookng into a warm restaurant seeing happy people enjoying their meals. It's tougher for a male when you are an HSP. Males are not supposed to show certain emotions or our tender side. Because of that we can't really tell others how we feel which makes us lonely. I am an HSP but not sure whether he cause is nature or nurture. I don't necessarily blame my parents for my being certain way but I do believe that they don't and never understood me.

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

Thank you for sharing A I. Know that your sensitivity is an absolute gift and when fully embraced (outside of whatever societal stereotypes that may be present), you will create an impact within others, just from you 'being' around them. You got this, keep stepping into your greatness and allowing your full light to shine forth 🙏🏿

[@RR-fe8yt]

Appreciate your initiative 🌸🌸🇮🇳

[@BrandonBennettCoaching]

🙏🏿💜

[@636lexington]

I'm an infj and for years I thought I was crazy. I couldn't understand why I felt the way I did.

[@erik9157]

Thank you for this video

[@brandonjackson5142]

Is there like a HSP group or something? I've never felt more seen than when I spend time with other HSPs like myself.

[@zentzu4003]

it's very normal to be highly sensitive as a man that's one of the biggest problems, people beat themselves up for being highly sensitive because it's not considered normal, whereas we literally evolved these tendencies to increase reproductive success as men, for example male Gorillas are one of our closest relatives and have some of the highest levels of jealous known in the animal kingdom, yet people often say to be an 'alpha' male means to not be jealous and sensitive... but in the rest of the animal kingdom it is quite literally the opposite, but you often find these things, it's similar to this idea that the men provide for the women, when in reality the only things we provide is protection from attack and sperm... not even food... we are hunter gatherers, the women gather the food while the men hone their combat skills while hunting, 9/10 hunts fail and the vast majority of calories comes from the food women have gathered, like nuts underground and seeds and plants, it was far more useful for men to become closer to eachother rather their mates and learn to work together as a team to hunt so that they could fight off other tribes and such, it's the reason 99% of murders and violent crimes are commited by men, in some sense it does annoy me because some of this new age feminism, although unintentionally, has really made it hard for men, alot of lies have been spread about mens anger aggression sensitivty jealously, what they call toxic masculinity, all these emotions have been shunned without understanding that that has been men since the dawn of time, it's in our DNA, we cannot change that, and suppressing emotions is not the right way, it's why alot of dude spend the majority of their life in the gym

[@nothereyetlost]

“Unintentionally has made it hard for men” so to make if easier for us, women should let us kill them? Rape them?

[@thiacari]

Commenting, to boost youtube algorithms. Maybe you could improve the audio, e.g. get a microphone or wifi earbud microphone.

[@hiperventilat8064]

I feel like we are similar. A big part of feeling like an alien can be the result of unconscious unhelaed childhood trauma (you seem to have a first awareness but i feel like you would profit greatly from therapies such as brainspotting and somatic experiencing)

[@hiperventilat8064]

art therapy maybe too
