“You are not too much. You are just talking to someone who cannot hold what you carry.”
Let that sit with you.
So many of us have been made to feel like we’re too intense, too emotional, too sensitive, or too honest — when in reality, we were just sharing our truth with someone whose emotional hands were too small to hold it.
It’s not that your feelings were too heavy.
It’s not that your truth was too loud.
It’s that the person on the other end had not done the work to receive you.
And that’s not a reflection of your worth — it’s a reflection of their limitations.
When someone cannot sit with discomfort — their own or yours — they will shame, silence, or avoid you. But don’t let that confuse you. Don’t shrink to fit their emotional bandwidth.
Your depth is not a flaw. It is a form of wisdom.
Protect it. Nurture it. And be intentional with who you share it with.
Because the right people won’t flinch at your fullness — they will honor it.
