As a highly sensitive person, you've heard these words, I am sure: "you are too sensitive," "stop crying and get busy," or "hold it together already". 

Debbie Lynn Grace describes the empathic or intuitive or the highly sensitive person as someone who does not have a built-in buffer to withstand the normal outside energies that we all experience.
