This piece helps me to feel validated as a human in my last several years of life. Whether I find myself in situations where I thrive--safety, acceptance, encouragement--and situations where I don’t--criticism, pressure, rejection-- I possess a strong sensitivity to context. In any given setting I often am critical of my self and think that I am too sensitive and I just need to ‘toughen up’ when really I need to continue to listen to that voice that says when things are worth doing and when they’re not. This notion of support is worth investigating. Thanks.
