    Description

    Have you ever been told:

    “Learn to take a joke."
    "Why are you so serious?"
    "Lighten up."

    In this episode, I explain which jokes I find offensive and how sensitive people think it's more important to not hurt people than to be funny.

    Are you highly observant and conscientious? Do you experience joy, discomfort, empathy, and emotions very intensely? Are you easily overstimulated or bothered by small changes in your environment? You aren’t alone. You just might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). In this podcast, host and blogger Kelly shares real-life experiences that may have you nodding and thinking: “I thought I was the only one who felt that way”! Introverts, people with shyness and social anxiety may also find comfort and camaraderie here. Remember--you aren’t crazy or weird…just highly sensitive!
