Many perceive being a sensitive soul in this cruel world as a weakness; but what we forget is that it is a true sign of strength to be able to reveal your vulnerabilities and express your ability to feel for others.  

If you are a sensitive soul, you know it.  You love closeness, you love connecting with people, and you love love.

If you are a sensitive soul, you absorb the energies around you. You are perceptive and you pay attention to details in people. Your ability to empathize with people is remarkable – but not everyone can understand you.

If you are a sensitive soul, your compassionate and conscious nature attracts many people to you – sometimes even the broken ones who need more help than love. You are a ‘helper’ and sometimes as you keep helping those who need it, they will suck the energy out of you. You are attracted to the lonely souls that need to be fixed, but you don’t always understand that you cannot change people. Regardless, you keep trying anyway.

If you are a sensitive soul, you will have a painful past because you loved someone so much who could not love you back the same way. You are honest, loyal, and true, and you see the best in people; but sometimes, people see your genuineness as a temporary game for their amusement. You will carry the baggage of that pain, wanting to love but scared to fall – because you have fallen before.

If you are a sensitive soul, you will not settle for just anyone. You will wait for someone who is good to you and good for you. You will wait to give yourself to the right person rather than throw yourself at the first person who comes your way. You may get distracted temporarily, but deep down, you know what you want and you will not settle for anything but the best.

If you are a sensitive soul, you want a deep and meaningful relationship where you can grow together and become a better person, even while living in a world of instant gratification. You are not someone who is looking for a fun and easy tryst. You do not have time for that. You want something real.

If you are a sensitive soul, sometimes you fall hard for the wrong person because they concealed their inner darkness. By the time you see the ugliness inside them, you are so invested that it is hard for you to walk away. It may break you but you will never easily give up.

If you are a sensitive soul, you show who you are and how you are. You don’t play games, and you don’t believe in keeping mysteries. You expect the same in return, but most of the world keeps their masks on for too long.

If you are a sensitive soul, you forget to take care of yourself and you forget to focus on your own needs, because your intuitive nature means you can read people’s feelings and you end up doing more for them while neglecting your own self.

If you are a sensitive soul, you suffer more because you feel more. The beauty of a sensitive soul is that you dream more, you live more, and you love more. It is just not as easy to find someone who imagines life the way you do, even though they may be out there.

If you are a sensitive soul, you want to have a connection with someone without getting hurt because someone has hurt you in the past. You guard your heart and protect your soul while doing all you can for others. You do not try to fall quick because you know how hard you fall.

If you are a sensitive soul, you know what you are looking for and you know it is not easy to find – and that is why you have the hardest time falling in love.

But if you are a sensitive soul, always remember that there is someone looking for you the way you are looking for them. And one day you will find each other, and every struggle and every heartbreak along the way will make sense, as it was bringing you closer to your person.  

Falling in love with a sensitive person like you is rare but not impossible. When the two of you fall in love, it will be the love that musicians sing about. It will be the love that poets write about. It will be the love that you were always capable of giving and now you are getting it back – just the way you dreamed of, just the way you deserve.

If you are a sensitive soul, you will have the hardest time falling in love but someday you will fall in love and it will be beautiful. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
