I Was Told My Emotions Were Too Much — They Were Actually My Greatest Gift

✨ Follow along on Instagram & TikTok: @shaniamyselfandi Growing up, I was told I felt things too much. That I was too sensitive. Too emotional. Too intense. So I learned to shrink that part of myself down until it barely showed. It took me years to realize that the thing I was taught to be ashamed of was never actually a flaw. It was one of my greatest gifts. In this video I share my own story of believing my emotions were a problem to fix, what it actually cost me to suppress them, and the moment I started to understand them differently. I also talk about how common this is, especially for people who were called sensitive or too much as kids, and what it looks like to finally stop apologizing for feeling things deeply. If you've ever been told you feel too much, this one is for you. Homework from this video: Think of a trait you were taught was a flaw growing up. Ask yourself, what if this was actually a gift nobody knew how to receive?
