Today, I was called sensitive.

“You are such a sensitive person.”

 

 In a world where people say things like:

“Don’t cry, you are a man.”

“What is wrong with you?! Are you on your period?”

“No boy plays with dolls.”

I was called sensitive.

In a world where women are emotionally abused

Where the more objectifying of women you are the more claps you will get from your alpha guy friends

Where wearing masks and a poker face are more appreciated than expressing your feelings…

I was called sensitive.

When your friends, even the close ones

Use the word “sensitive” negatively to describe you.

Unintentionally stigmatizing you… shaming you…

I was called sensitive.

Today, I was called sensitive.

But for the first time, it was said in a positive way.

“You will do great! You are such a sensitive person.”

Surprising, huh!

You want to be more surprised?

It was said by a man, a straight man!

In a world full of judgement, negativity and abuse…

Be a ray of hope and call someone sensitive.
