Let’s discover 6 strategies to increase your HSP self-esteem and deal with people who reject your high sensitivity. Your HSP and you have low self-esteem? You are wondering how to survive as a highly sensitive person in a world that does not always understand how and to which degree we can feel the emotions and suffer from our sensitivity? In this article, you will learn 8 strategies to deal with people who reject your high sensitivity. If you are a highly sensitive person, you might often feel rejected by people around you who tell you that you are too sensitive.  As a highly sensitive person, I know how you feel. Being rejected for who we are can be a violent feeling, especially being rejected for our high sensitivity. People tell us to be less emotional because they cannot handle our strong emotions and often leave us with a feeling of being a bad person, inferior or just not good, not ok. And we try to change, to adapt. I tried for a long time to change until the day, I learned to accept my HSP personality. From this moment, I met more people who accept my high sensitivity, too. So how did I do this? Well instead of doubting myself, trying to change or to adapt to other people, I learned to increase my HSP self-esteem and to better deal with people who rejected my high sensitivity.

If you are HSP and you suffer from low self-esteem, here you find 6 Strategies to increase your HSP self-esteem and deal with people who reject your high sensitivity:

1. Chose with whom you are talking about your feelings and not

From my experience, if you are a highly sensitive person (HSP), it is important to choose with whom you are going to talk about your deep emotions. People are different and not all people are able to hear, get or understand your strong emotions. Especially rationals have really difficulties to listen to your emotions. People who reject your high sensitivity do not know what it means to feel. It is scary for them. Therefore choose wisely with whom you are going to talk about: “I feel.”

2. Forgive others

Often this is not bad faith of people if they say “you need to be less sensitive”, even the contrary, people want to protect you, because they do not want you to suffer, because they know that the world can be cruel. And they think (because this is what they have learned) that feeling is dangerous. Also, they do not think like you, they do not think about the meaning of the words they use.

3. Know that you are ok

It can be confusing being surrounded by so many people who tell you to be different. It is important to foster a strong mindset and increase your self-esteem to remind yourself: Let me remind you: you are ok as you are. If you feel strongly, there is a reason for it. Listen to your feelings. You can reprogram your brain to love your high sensitivity. I created a free video with subliminal messages reprogramming your brain, changing your beliefs. By watching it you will feel immediate relief.

4. Excuse if you behaved badly

Sometimes it might happen that we have a conflict with others, people might reject us, because we behaved badly. This is ok. Everybody can make an error. Make the difference between your high sensitivity and bad behavior. If you behaved badly (called names, criticized someone, yelled etc.) excuse. If you have rage or anger issues, you can learn to better handle your anger. There are efficient and powerful methods to help you to shift your old conditioning and calm your mind here with this powerful tool.

5. Learn tools to protect your HSP soul and to handle your high sensitivity

When we are an HSP we often try to cope with tools that people who are not highly sensitive recommend to us. This does not work. You need to use tools that fit your high sensitivity. The first step is to do self-healing, love and accept your high sensitivity by reprogramming your mind.

6. Create a strong inner self

To be happy, healthy and successful and increase your self-esteem and self-confidence you need to build inner SUBSTANCE.

Do you know the following situation? You are unhappy, in the morning you have trouble getting out of your bed, you have stomach or back pain when you think about work, your workday is monotonous, your weekends consist of cleaning and going to the grocery store?  You would like to change your life, you have no concrete plan, but you are quite clear about which kind of life you would make you happier, you would like to change, but sometimes you have some minor doubts about your intention as your ideal life seems so different to other people’s lives. So in moments of doubt, you call your family – maybe your mom, your father, your sister or your brother or your friends – and you ask them for advice, and you follow their advice instead of realizing your dreams. In this article, I share with you the mistakes I made and that hindered me to follow through with my dreams and how I got out of it.

If you’re like most people, and I was like this too, by the way, chances are high that you are get easily influenced by other people. The majority of people who want to change their life never really succeed in their projects because they are seeking advice from other people, getting influenced and confused about what to do. They lack a strong inner self. Especially when you were raised by controlling and dominant parents, your brain is programmed to rather listen to others than to yourself. People lacking a strong inner self get easily overwhelmed by other peoples’ thoughts, energies, and emotions. The problem is most people still do the same they did when they were a child. They listen to the opinions of other people or waiting for approval from others. The thing is: Most of the people around us such as our friends or family don’t know what is best for us and won’t approve of our dreams, especially if they are quite different from what exists in this world and community.

Maybe you are quite clear about which kind of life you would like to live, but sometimes you have some minor doubts as your life seems so different from other people’s lives and what people are telling you what is best for you. You might lack self-confidence and have low self-esteem so in moments of doubt you call your family – may be your mom, your father, your sister, or your brother or your friends – and you ask them for advice. And they give you advice AND you listen to this advice or get angry at them but stay stuck. The problem is most of the time what they tell us is not adapted to our personality and needs. Why? Because they are different.

Do you want to know why many people fail
in the project

What helped me to change this pattern is to know myself very well, my needs, and my values. And to learn how to protect against other people’s thoughts, opinions, emotions, energy! Especially if you are a highly sensitive person and an Empath as I am, you might have never learned to make the difference between you and others. Most people don’t know how to listen to their gut feelings, their intuition. They have no guidance, no strategy, no plan. They are completely lost.

Here are the skills I acquired in order to successfully realized my dream life and I would like to share with you:

1. know yourself very well, your beliefs, your needs, and values
2. know how to protect against other people’s thoughts, opinions, energy, and emotions
3. know how to listen to your intuition and to follow it-
4. know how to listen to your body because our body is our compass. Our body knows very well what is good for us and if we are heading in the wrong direction
5. have a plan and a strategy

So if you want to succeed in your project to change your life and live a different happy, healthy, and successful life, what was helpful to me and I believe can help you too is to learn those skills. With those skills, my life completely changed. And yours can, too. I suddenly felt strong on the inner side. Sometimes it’s about small changes, but those small changes make a huge difference.
