Society is not renowned for its sensitivity to the needs, anxieties, and pains of humanity.

In fact we only have to watch certain TV shows to see how brutal it can be. Shows peddling the dog eat dog reality of a competitive world such as X Factor, The Apprentice, Dragon's Den etc, don't dwell for long on the impact of earth-shattering decisions on the individuals involved.

I would be much more interested in watching programs that focus on the other side of the coin. What if we could follow those people who have been chewed up and spat out by the insensitive machine.

How do they cope? How do they pick themselves back up? What do they do with their hopes and dreams now?

That would be a much more inspiring and helpful show for most of us. Exploring the realities of encountering an insensitive world.

Because this is where most of us are at.

We are trying to find ways to reconcile our insecrities, anxieties, and fears with a world that doesn't really care. We're all in that together.

In this episode of the podcast I look at 7 truths that we can use in order to shift our mindset and cope with high insensitivity. I believe that everybody has something positive to bring to the table and hiding away from the world is not an option.

But what do we need to understand if we are going to begin to survive and potentially thrive as sensitive people in an insensitive world?
