A Vulnerable Heart Share on Hermitness & Relationships Naturally Sensitive
-
- Alternative Health
This week Jessi is sharing a very personal episode around healthy introversion and relationships. She opens up about how she navigates relational expectations from others as a solo-time loving Natural Sensitive. If you too need seasons of healthy ‘hermiting’ as we like to call it then you know it can be a very difficult aspect of life to explain or even consistently honor. Choosing to intentionally live as you're uniquely wired is daunting when 99% of the population isn’t going to understand your boundaries and needs. We are here to tell you that you are not alone! Jessi shares the lessons learned from a lifetime of wobbling between people-pleasing and her own needs and desires. Despite the current societal perspectives, choosing to spend your life or chapters of your life with a very small inner circle can be an incredibly delightful and peaceful way to live. Even more importantly, if this is how you're wired to function, fighting against it for the sake of other people's wants will only drain you and prevent you from living out your true purpose on this earth. We hope this episode inspires and empowers all our fellow hermit Natural Sensitives!

Quotes
“The hardest line to walk of my entire existence is learning how to love someone while not over-committing to them.”
“Living authentically doesn't give you permission to say screw other people they need to figure me out on their own. That is true selfishness. For me, it's about honoring and respecting who I am while also recognizing that 99.9% of people are different from me and being gracious and kind enough to put myself in their shoes and to then find the right words to communicate to them who I am so that they're don’t get hurt.”
“I am proposing that it is quite possible to be healthy while having little engagement with others.”
