Have been told by others I'm "too sensitive."

Require authenticity and dislike having to fake it with small talk if I'm not "feeling" it.

Easily drained by large groups, (i.e. shopping malls, concerts.)

Intuitively know when people aren't telling the truth.

Sensitive to the pain of others.

Easily irritated or stressed.

Overwhelmed by the negativity in the news media.

Can be depressed or deeply impacted by sad or violent stories/movies.

I consider myself a "fixer" or "healer." Too many relationships in my life have been "fixer-uppers!"

I'm a creative, idea person, who can visualize solutions to the problems I see in the world.

Self care is an issue for me. I tend to put myself "last" after taking care of responsibilities and duties.

I'm probably a recovering perfectionist.

Still seeking resolution to some childhood pain and dysfunction.

I struggle with self-sabotage in all it's forms (procrastination, insecurity, avoidance.)

I compare myself negatively to others.
