Hi,
I am sensitive in the way that I am really empathetic and thus I understand people really well, it’s really easy to have a deep connection with most people I meet, I do have many friends and acquaintances. My mother wanted us to be able to communicate well as her old-school family did not really help with her and her brothers and sisters shyness. (I have many uncles and aunts on both sides) But I have trouble putting barriers so that I do not get overwhelmed by others emotions and mine thus I spend a lot of time on my own. Which is one of the reasons I am very independent as I go on doing things on my own like going to a concert, things ‘most’ people would do with others.
My father has made us travel and move places a lot because he wants us to see the world. He’s wanted us to be autonomous since we were little. He doesnt really know how to ask for help so I never really did until last year. I am studying abroad, earn a “living” etc.
My sister was around 6 when my mother passed away and I was four. My father barely mentioned my mother until I asked him to last year, he did not want to hurt us. Thus I did not know much about my mother (scarcely knew what she studied/if she worked) until recently.
I was told a few times by my mother’s cousin however that I reminded her of her as she was quite free, really honest and laughing all the time. (sounds very cheesy I know, but in reality people find those features about me weird)
