It Is Usually More Fragile Who Looks Less

Those who appear less so are usually more fragile. Who wears thick armor and gives smiles of admirable courage and bravery, often hides a heart of glass that reflects and cries secret bitterness. Chasms of deep sadness that he has not managed to resolve.

The secretly fragile person is also often incredibly touchy. Sometimes a small act of gratitude or kindness fills them with happiness. However, the slightest mistake or disappointment experienced leads them to extreme despair. We speak of that “hypersensitivity” with which the fragile person so often collides with his environment.

We all know those people who apparently can handle every burden that life has placed on their shoulders, but make no mistake: because they wear masks the color of false integrity. And they even wear the armor of heroes from other times. However, it is enough to touch their armor a little to see that they are full of rust from these internal sufferings. For those tears shed secretly.

Every fragile person hides the sensitivity of those creatures that although wise, have a high need for esteem. Their skin is very fine and they will react instantly with any alteration. With any reproach or misinterpretation of a context that sometimes feels like a threat.

We suggest you delve into the complex issue of human frailty.

The fragile person and emotional vulnerability

Let’s first define what we mean by emotional fragility. Being fragile does not mean being weak at all. It is above all, seeing and understanding reality from a more intimate perspective, from one’s own heart. However, this in turn brings a complex reverse: that of emotional vulnerability.

To protect this delicate interior, they are usually armored with different armor. There are those who show a strong and energetic character, setting limits. They are people who, at times, seem to be at war with the world. However, and this we have to take into account, whoever is always on guard ends up exhausted by so much psychological and emotional wear.

Because whoever understands life as continuous self-defense, the only thing that accumulates is suffering.

The fragile heart that has been badly damaged becomes distrustful. Little by little he develops a touchy character that interprets any act as an offense. An inconsequential conversation turns into a battle. A phrase spoken with a certain tone feels like an offense. .

However, we can all channel that fragility in a creative, healthy and powerful way to delimit said suffering.

Learn to survive in a world of pins

People reject fragility almost instinctively. Perceiving ourselves as more sensitive poses a threat to us and therefore we choose to shield ourselves. However, the real problem comes when after some bad experience, the fear of being hurt again is added to anger and even the continuous search for guilty.

• To avoid these states we must be able to mitigate hypersensitivity. If you perceive that your whole environment is edged with pins, your fine skin and your sensitive heart will explode at the slightest touch.

• Put calm in your mind because sometimes, the worst enemy is yourself. Let balance inhabit your mental palace from today. Don’t focus your existence so much on what others do or say to validate yourself. The only person for whom you must be valid is yourself.

• That overly subjective view of everything that surrounds you causes you to derive obsessive thoughts. Remember that people will not love you for who you are, but for what you make them feel. If you are always on the defensive looking for pins in every corner, what you will get is that they avoid you. Don’t fall into these vicious circles.

• Sensitive people find adequate channels of expression in dimensions such as art, painting, music … Look for that medium where you can channel your sensitivity, it will serve as an adequate outlet.

Finally, remember that being sensitive is a great virtue, but being hypersensitive is a flaw. Even if you are a little more fragile and emotional than the rest, do not make a curse of it. Because being fragile is not being weak, it is having a more intense internal perception about what surrounds you. Take care of your self-esteem and take advantage of this ability.
