I am grateful to all people who have accepted the intensity and extreme nature of my being. I tried to conform. Worked to behave. I have failed at even with professional help for over half a century. Any ideas how I can explain it without feeling such shame and failure?

That's a really good question. Because I live in isolation and make very few friends and the ones that I find that I like sometimes reveal sides that are this. I'm tired of losing people I'm just tired of losing the Beloved ones.

Both that and your original tweet are so relatable. I have the same issues, it's weird to read it from someone else.

I suppose it can feel weird but to me it seems like it's empathy we feel sad and horrified because we feel empathetic towards the situation which is horrifying these are children. Highly sensitive people react like that we feel it deeply. I'd rather feel empathy than feel nothing

I meant in a general sense. I don't relate to the issues of the USA. I'd expect to be shot if I ever landed on that soil.
