@catwolff I think this is a great article... I happily resteemed it as part of the #newbieresteemday project... The reason I like your article is it is genuine and you connected with me with your words.

I also want to tell you something else that you probably wouldn't ever knew. I am also very sensitive. Over the years with maturity I have learned how to overcome that sensitivity and use it as a positive. I have learned how to channel people's negative thoughts and either turn them into positives or ignor them (whichever is appropriate).

I think it is a gift that I am sensitive and has helped me very much in my life to be happy. It has taught me how to empathize with people and see things most people don't see. I truly look into other's hearts and try to build them up and protect them when attacked. I like this about myself because it has enabled me to have some very deep connections to many different friends in my life.

I am also very shy... I have run 1000 man organizations as an executive, given speeches to decent size crowds, but every time I have to "push" myself to do it. I have to be determined to get my messages out. But when I go home or someplace where I'm new, I am the guy who would sit in the corner and be content just watching everyone. I guess people would think that is weird, but really its just that I'm shy.

I hope this helps you in some small way... I know you are much younger than me and don't have as much experiences as me. So I'm telling you that you are not alone and you can also have hope. You can be terrific if you choose to be, and there are many that will help you if you stay genuine and true to yourself.

I'm so glad you contacted me and wanted me to resteem your post. Its nice to meet you and I'm connected to you now so I hope we stay in touch!!! Welcome to steemit!!! :)
