If you’ve ever felt embarrassed for crying too easily or found yourself wanting to hide your emotions, this episode is for you. As a highly sensitive person, you feel deeply—and that often means your emotions show up as tears.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why crying a lot is actually normal for HSPs, why it’s not something to avoid or be ashamed of, and how those emotions are actually guiding you back to your true self. 

I’m also sharing a few practical steps you can take when you feel like you need to hide your emotions—especially in public. If you’ve been trying to shut down your sensitivity just to get through the day, this episode will give you permission to feel, process, and reconnect with who you are.

You’ve tried venting, distracting yourself, and even ignoring your emotions—but nothing seems to make the overwhelm go away. That’s because most approaches only scratch the surface, and even journaling can feel ineffective if you’re just dumping your thoughts onto paper. 

The key isn’t just writing—it’s intentional journaling. In this episode, we’ll explore why journaling is one of the most powerful yet underrated tools for emotional healing, the biggest mistakes that keep people stuck, and how to use journaling to truly process emotions instead of just circling around them.
