Very interesting to see this here @heart-to-heart, and thanks for bringing this topic up!
I am definitely what you might call a "Highly Sensitive Person" (HSP) in the context of Sensory-Processing Sensitivity. Less so, in the psychic/empath realm... although quite a bit of what I turn into art might be considered "channeled information."
But to answer your question, I have definitely been told that I am too sensitive many a time... but I've been helped a lot since I learned about Dr. Elaine Aron's work on sensitivity, back in 1997.
