You’re Not Too Sensitive

You’re Not Too Sensitive — You’re Wired for Deep Awareness

“You’re just too sensitive.”

Heard that before?

For many neurodiverse people—and anyone who feels deeply—this phrase lands like a judgment. It’s often said with frustration, dismissal, or even pity.

But here’s the truth:

You’re not too sensitive.
You’re precisely sensitive enough.

Your nervous system isn’t faulty. It’s finely tuned.

You’re wired to notice details, energy shifts, subtle sounds, tiny injustices, unexpected beauty.

Where others might rush by, you pause. You feel. You see. And that is a profound gift.

🌿 Sensitivity ≠ Weakness

Let’s clear this up: being sensitive doesn’t mean being fragile. It means being deeply aware.

You might:

Sense tension in a room before anyone says a word
Feel overwhelmed by bright lights, strong smells, or background noise
Cry during music, movies, or at the sight of something beautiful
Need time alone to reset after socialising
Notice patterns, inconsistencies, or small acts of kindness that others miss

None of this means you’re broken. It means you’re in tune. In a world that rewards speed and surface-level interaction, your deep awareness is a quiet kind of power.

🌀 The Link Between Sensitivity and Neurodiversity

Many neurodiverse people—especially those with autism, ADHD, or traits linked to sensory processing—experience heightened sensitivity.

This can show up physically (like noticing every flicker of fluorescent lighting) or emotionally (like feeling the mood of a friend before they even speak).

We’ve been taught to hide this. To mask. To “toughen up.”

But what if the world needs more feeling, not less?

🔍 What Your Sensitivity Tells You

Think of it like this: your sensitivity is feedback. It’s information. It tells you when something is off, when a space feels safe, when someone needs support. It also tells you what brings you joy, peace, comfort, and connection.

Instead of ignoring it, you can learn to listen. To trust it.

And to build a life that honours it.

💖 You Deserve Environments That Feel Kind

You don’t need to be less sensitive.

You need environments that are more aligned with how you function best.

That might mean:

Choosing quieter cafés
Wearing soft clothes in calming colours
Surrounding yourself with people who respect your pacing
Saying no to things that leave you overstimulated or emotionally drained

These choices aren’t indulgent—they’re necessary. For your nervous system, your creativity, your wellbeing.

🌸 You’re Allowed to Be Fully You

You were never meant to fit into a world that silences sensitivity.

You were meant to help shape a world that honours it.

So the next time someone says you’re too sensitive, you might pause… and smile.

Because now you know:

You’re not too sensitive.
You’re deeply aware.
And that’s your strength.

How to Stop Feeling Broken

by Lucinda | 17, Apr 2025 | ADHD/ADD, Autism, Boundaries, Neurodivergent, Uniqueness

How to Stop Feeling Broken – You’re Just Different

Have you ever had that sinking feeling that you’re not quite right? That somehow, you missed a memo on how to “human” correctly?

Maybe you’ve been told you’re too sensitive, too intense, too quiet, too loud, too much—or not enough.

That feeling of not fitting in can be overwhelming. It can convince you that you’re somehow broken.

But here’s the truth: You are not broken. You’re just different.

And different is NOT a flaw.

What Feeling Broken Really Means

That “feeling broken” sensation often comes from years of internalising messages that something about you needs fixing.

For many neurodiverse people, that message starts early: at school, in social groups, in work environments built for a different kind of brain.

Feeling broken isn’t really about who you are. It’s about how you’ve been made to feel.

When the world isn’t designed with your way of thinking, feeling, or sensing in mind, it can wear you down.

But your differences – your sensitivities, your focus, your perspective – aren’t errors. They’re signals of a mind that works uniquely.

Reframing “Broken” as “Brilliant”

Let’s flip the narrative.

What if those things that make you feel broken are actually signs of brilliance?

🌱 Struggle in noisy environments? That might mean you have finely tuned sensory awareness.
💡 Need time alone to recharge? You may process deeply and feel more than others.
✨ Communicate differently? That’s not a flaw—it’s another form of fluency.

The world needs all kinds of thinkers, feelers, and beings. Your uniqueness might just be the perspective someone else is longing to hear.

How to Start Healing That Feeling

If you’re stuck in the cycle of feeling broken, here are a few gentle steps to help shift that story:

Notice the narrative
Pay attention to the inner voice that says, “I’m too much” or “I don’t belong.”
Whose voice is that? Often, it’s not yours.
Seek spaces that celebrate difference
When you find places—online or in real life—where people get you, it’s like a deep exhale. Community matters.
Speak kindly to yourself
Start small: “I am doing my best.” “There’s nothing wrong with me.”
Let those words begin to soften the edges.
Recognise your strengths
Make a list of what you do well—not just achievements, but traits: creativity, compassion, pattern recognition, perseverance.
Start to celebrate you.
Get support
Whether it’s a coach, therapist, mentor or trusted friend –
Being seen and heard by someone who understands can be powerful.

You Are Not Broken—You Are Becoming

If no one has told you lately: there is nothing wrong with you.

Yes, the world can be confusing, harsh, and overwhelming. But you? You are still whole.

You’re allowed to feel tired. You’re allowed to feel lost. And you’re allowed to rest.

But please don’t mistake being different for being broken.

Because in your difference lies your depth, your strength, and your quiet brilliance.

5 Signs You’re Different – And Why That’s a Gift

by Lucinda | 28, Feb 2025 | Empowerment, Neurodivergent, Uniqueness

5 Signs You’re Different (And Why That’s a Gift)

Do you often feel like you don’t quite fit into the world around you? Have you noticed that you’re different? Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too much” or “too different,” but what if those very traits are what make you extraordinary?

If you’re wondering if you’re different, the truth is—you probably are.

And that’s not just okay; it’s a gift.

Here are five signs that set you apart—and how they can empower you to create a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and completely your own.

1. You Struggle to Fit In

It’s not always easy to blend in with the crowd, and that’s okay.

Many people who are different find it hard to conform to societal expectations.

But here’s the thing: trying to fit into a box that wasn’t made for you only dims your true light.

The fact that you don’t fit in means you have the freedom to create your own path and live authentically.

2. You See Things Differently

People who are different often have a unique perspective on the world.

Whether it’s how you process information, approach challenges, or create solutions, your mind works in ways others might not understand.

While this can feel isolating at times, it’s also an incredible strength—your ability to think outside the box allows you to bring fresh ideas and innovation to the world.

3. You Don’t Mind Standing Out

While many fear standing out, those who are different often embrace it.

Whether it’s through your personal style, beliefs, or passions, you’re not afraid to be yourself.

This might intimidate some people, but it’s also incredibly liberating.

When you stand in your truth, you inspire others to do the same.

4. You Experience Emotions Deeply

Being different often comes with heightened emotional sensitivity.

You may feel things more deeply than others, be highly empathetic, or experience an intense connection to the world around you.

While society sometimes labels this as “too sensitive,” it’s actually a profound gift.

Your emotional depth allows you to form meaningful connections and understand people in a way that others can’t.

5. You Feel a Strong Sense of Purpose

If you’ve always felt a deep drive to do something meaningful—even if it’s different from what others expect—you’re likely someone with a strong sense of purpose.

People who are different don’t follow trends; they create them.

Your passion and vision are powerful forces, guiding you toward a life that truly matters.

You’re Different—And That’s a Strength

Recognising that you’re different is the first step in unlocking your full potential.

The world needs people who think differently, act boldly, and embrace their uniqueness.

When you lean into who you truly are, you not only empower yourself—you give others permission to do the same.

Why I Created Different… and Loving It!

Have you ever felt like you just don’t fit into the mould the world expects?

Maybe you’ve been called too much or too different, or you’ve had to work harder than others to be understood or even (somewhat) accepted. I know that feeling.

It’s one I’ve carried for a long time—and it’s exactly why I created Different… and Loving It!

This YouTube channel is more than just videos. It’s a community and a movement—a place where unique people can feel seen, heard, and valued.

The Spark That Started It All

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the people who see the world differently—those who think outside the box, feel deeply, and live in ways that don’t always follow the ‘norm.’

Whether through coaching, sound healing, or education, my work has always been about supporting people who feel different to embrace their brilliance.

But I wanted to reach more people.

I wanted to create something accessible, uplifting, and free, so that anyone who needed encouragement could find it—no matter where they were in their journey.

That’s how Different… and Loving It! was born.

Too often, the world tries to tell us that being different is a problem to be fixed.

But what if it’s the exact opposite?

What if your uniqueness is your greatest strength?

My hope is that through this channel, you’ll not only see the beauty in your differences—you’ll embrace them fully.

Your Uniqueness Is Your Superpower

by Lucinda | 10, Jan 2025 | Inspiration, Uniqueness

Is Your Uniqueness Actually Holding You Back?

Do you ever feel like you’re just… different? That your uniqueness is not really okay?

Maybe you’ve felt like you don’t quite belong or that fitting in takes more effort than it should. Perhaps you’ve even wondered if there’s something wrong with being the way you are.

Let me tell you something that took me decades to learn that —

Your Uniqueness is Your Superpower.

I get it.

For years, I felt out of place. I struggled to understand how to navigate a world that didn’t seem to have space for someone like me.

But here’s what I’ve discovered: the very things that make you feel different are the same things that make you extraordinary.

When you embrace your quirks, your passions, and your true self, you step into a light that only you can shine.

It’s liberating, powerful, and transformative.

Why Being Different Matters

Being different allows you to see the world through your own unique lens.

It gives you insights, ideas, and perspectives that others might miss.

I have to tell you – the world needs your creativity, your sensitivity, your courage, and your individuality.

In fact, embracing your uniqueness can be a gift to yourself and those around you.

How to Start Embracing Your Uniqueness, Your Superpower

Release the Pressure to Conform
You don’t have to fit into anyone else’s box. In fact, the world is more exciting when we colour outside the lines!
