BEING SENSITIVE
Kind of. Just don't rattle my cage. I can get a bit (lot) cantankerous. But it's only because I have the purest idealism at heart ..
Different different different
Not necessarily better, but not worse either, just a different way of processing information, a different way of seeing things, a different way of doing things.
And developing at a different pace in a different space. I was 'slow' at school, when having to work on the same things the same way with a group. The more I gained control of my own learning, the more I flew. Past 18 I took over classes. Frankly, I became rather .. domineering. The tutors went to sleep and fellow students gave up.
But it was all done with a pure heart. With just a little bit of grandstanding and showing-off.
As for “being very sensitive,” I once stormed out of an office I'd been confined in, shaking lifts and concrete walls and damning managers to Hades as I went.
The nice lady who was kind of in charge let me cool down for a month and then invited me back, saying they needed someone with my “sense of the ridiculous” to keep them all from storming out. She also cautioned me to “watch that “sensitive nature of yours.” I said I wear my (pure) heart on the sleeve and always will. She invited me back and took her chances. Being "different", I was well worth having around.
