Being labelled a Highly Sensitive Person was validating and empowering – until it wasn't | Miranda Luby

I think its crazy how our online lives can kinda mess with our heads 🤯. I mean Miranda's story is super relatable - we've all been there where we're trying to find answers and validation from online quizzes or forums, but sometimes it just makes things worse. I feel like society puts so much pressure on people to be 'in control' of their emotions and whatnot, but honestly life is too unpredictable to try to micromanage every little thing 🤷‍♀️.

We need to find that balance between being aware of our own needs and not letting them define who we are as people. It's like, Miranda was trying to be an HSP and love herself for it, but then she got stuck in this anxiety loop because she was too self-aware 😳. We gotta learn to acknowledge our feelings without getting caught up in the 'what ifs' and 'maybes'.
 
I'm totally with Luby, you know? Taking an online quiz can be super tempting, but we gotta be careful not to get caught up in what others tell us about ourselves 🤯💡 #SelfDiagnosisMatters #HSPsUnite #FreeFromLabels 🌟

It's like, being sensitive is a part of who you are, but it shouldn't define your entire identity 😅. We need to find that balance where we can still celebrate our uniqueness without letting it control us 🎉💖 #EmpowermentThroughSelfAwareness #BreakingFreeFromExpectations 💪

I mean, think about it - if someone's telling you which sounds are gonna trigger you, aren't they kind of creating a mental prison? 🚫🔒 We need to learn how to be our own guides and not rely on online advice 🤓💡 #MentalHealthAwareness #PersonalGrowthJourney 🌱
 
🤔 I gotta say, when online quizzes start promising to change your life, it's like they're creating this expectation of 'fixing' you, you know? And for some people, that can be super empowering at first. But then it becomes an all-consuming thing and you start to lose yourself in the process... 🙅‍♀️

I mean, think about it, when we tie our identity too closely to a label like "Highly Sensitive Person", we're basically saying that's who we are, period. And if we're not careful, that can lead to overthinking and anxiety... 😬

It's like, Miranda Luby in the article found solace in knowing she wasn't alone as an HSP, but then her identity became tied to that label and it started affecting her life. She lost touch with what made her happy and fulfilled.

I think it's so important for us to be mindful of this when we're self-diagnosing or labeling ourselves. We need to remember that our worth and value come from within, not just from a label... 💖
