(a) Let your feelings flow.Bottled up/flowing emotions are a good source of data which makes emotional people more insightful and intelligent in making complex decisions. So all you ladies- its time to cheer up. We are NOT Dramatic. And those who carry the gene of sensitivity are better at making real time decisions that could result in bigger gains or losses.
(b) Channel your sensitive side. You are a good listener and speaker. :)
(c) Chill, you are sensitive (Hyper :-)). It is totally acceptable and agreeable. Channelize, show-up, relax and drive your feelings..because you are your only master and no-one other than you can understand you better.
(d) If you get wound up and drop a tear at your workplace, you might come across as a dramatic/manipulative/weak woman (So pricky that people get afraid to come too close to you- NATURE + NURTURE)
(e) Sensitivity spurred behavior can hit too hard on romantic relationships as well. If your " vanilla-swirl-chilled" guy ignores you for a fantasy NFL football match, make sure not to dial-back in any "suffer-in-silence-he-does-not-love-me" kind of reaction.
Oooh..don't beat yourself up because the magic key cannot open the lock to your bottled up emotions. Accept your emotions and channelize them.
(f) Stage a rehearsal. There are some situations that you just can't avoid. When you are aware of a periodic, potentially dangerous approaching Irene, make the evacuation attempts before hand. Practice the scene with some mature, rational responses to the typical questions you will be hit with.You will feel less.
(g) Please avoid trigger points. Learn to press 'pause'. Oouch-it hurts you-whenever you feel that-you are under attack :)
Sensitive (Give me a break !! ) People who are able to think rationally in public (even for a second) are able to prevent their emotions from broiling in public.
SO Beautiful!
You are fine; stop thinking of yourself as a dorky-soft-sensitive-hyper sensitive-vanilla swirl kind of a female. The Stanford scholars are in sync with your nature that applies to nearly 20% of the people in the world as well as who are genetically pre-disposed to be hyper-sensitive.
Be proud, cool and mature in reactions to your strawberry-vanilla-swirl inside; its acceptable, its rational, its beneficial and its controllable.
