- figuring out how to not take things personally as someone who is sensitive can feel almost impossible, but slowly with these few mindset changes we can really take a step back and see things for what they are:)
Hope this can help a few of you out!

hello my loves
It’s good to have emotions. It’s also healthy to cry. The problem isn’t emotions,it’s the fact that some people “don’t have them”. Therefore they think it’s weird when others do.
Yes I agree with you 100%🥺

This comment, 💯👌
The downside on having a good heart is we think everyone else around us has a good heart and when we see thats not the case, it backfires :(
This 😔
Lmao tell me about it. 😒

personally for me , i would admit that i am a highly emotional and sensitive person . i cry very easily and it is hard for me to control my emotions in front of others , but what hurts more is that other people say stuff like "WHY ARE U SO WEAK" , "JUST STOP CRYING" as this makes me feel that i am just irritating and my emotions are useless to pour yk. i am a cancerian and honestly i hate this trait of mine being "emotional" or "sensitive" as this just makes me look pathetic in front of others
As a young adult making the transition from school to the work world, a video addressing this was NEEDED, ignoring those bad thoughts is EVERYTHING. Thanks for the upload
its a pleasure, im glad it was helpful
@@MichelleGia thank you ♾️

Oh, yes. Working in customer service will really toughen you up. Also, something that I’m learning is not to hold on so much to either my strengths and weaknesses. Our best will look different every day and accepting this fact will help us move on from various situations easily.
Yess exactly!! I love that perspective, I don’t think I ever looked at it that way but it’s so true❤️ thank you so much for sharing:)
I did a year and a half and I can only say as time went bay I didn’t get tougher (I probably should have tho), I got more anxious and nervous and afraid, I had to go and try to be promoted to get out of that hell because I couldn’t take it anymore (and then I was exploited on that promotion and got severe burnout for months until I couldn’t take it anymore and had to quit even though I needed the job)
Trying to understand people by thinking that they are just projecting their bad moods or insecurities on me is calming, but then I’ll just go back with the idea that I will never project my bad moods nor insecurities on others; so maybe they are just really mean.
haha so relatable😭 there are moments where it can get tough to handle, but then again thats still on them and has nothing to do with you:)
it's the way i am feeling more understood by a stranger on the internet than people irl haha
Haha felt that😭
OMG ME me me ME. Ive never met someone more sensitive than me. After some therapy, reading books on letting go of the ego, and lots of exposure, I dont care that much anymore haha. I know now that the situation itself is not as serious as i make it out to be in my head and that it truly is NOT personal. Nothing is ever really personal. Peoples behaviors are a reflection of their perspective and past experiences. One of the most important things ive learned is that everyone is doing the best that they can
that’s amazing, what books did you read if u don’t mind?
@@_lynnloo9988 i started with books by brene brown. she speaks about shame, vulnerability, connection, and belonging. although when i read "a new earth" by eckhart tolle... absolute gamechanger. nothing spoke to me like the words in his book did before that point in my life. it made me feel like everything is ultimately gonna be alright and to surrender to what is happening in the present moment.
You don't care that much now wow, I am impressed, hope I will reach that level one day !! What do you mean by lots of exposure? Also please please please recommend as many books as you can, I desperately need help with this. Thank you sooo much !!!
Oh and which book by Brene Brown do you recommend I start with ? I'm going to buy "a new earth"and a book by Brown إن شاء الله
@@ElinoraMilanesi exposure to social situations, experiences, people. you really do wise up as you age. start with the gifts of imperfection!
WHY AM I LITRRALLY RECCOMENDED THIS AT THE PERF TIME
SO GLAD IT COULD HELP❤️❤️❤️
Whew!! Your life significantly improves once you get better at not taking things personal. It takes works, but the work is worth it!
Yes I agree with you 1000%😇!!
Working in retail was one of the best things I ever did in terms of stopping being overly sensitive! As much as it is good to have emotions, it is not good to want to cry every time you receive the slightest criticism!!
Yess same😭 it was rough at first but so worth it! I agree with you 100%🤭
For me retail is easy but coworkers are not especially bosses who are jealous
The customer service part was easy, it’s the coworkers who I had to keep an eye out. 👀
I would describe myself as a very emotional/passionate person so I tend to take things to heart a lot. Because of this I often REACT to things emotionally instead of LISTENING and accurately RESPONDING. I'm trying tho :)
No, I get this exactly🥺I’m the same way, at least we’re aware now and trying:) that’s the first step!
You're really really wise at a young age. It took me 40 years to gain this understanding. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been so stressed this month and this is just one of her videos that have helped me to finally feel peace today while sitting in my car❤
I’m so happy to hear🥰hope the rest of the month goes a lot better for you!
ME. EFFING. TOO. I hate work environments so much because of this. I just finished school for real estate and am going in that direction, but I still work in the service industry now and between customers and my coworkers it's so draining. I'm constantly so aware of other peoples micro-expressions and tones etc. And I get so anxious and don't know what to do. I don't want to under react or overreact if someone is genuinely rude or disrespectful to me. I don't know how other people handle that shit so well.
You talk really nicely 😊 I really like your gesture and smile while talking
Awe thank you so much🥹🫶🏼
@@MichelleGia your welcome ☺️
Thank you. I've never heard "have the space to learn to regulate those emotions well is a privilege not everyone gets to have". As an oversensitive and highly emotional 52 yo male, this really helped me. Over empathy is exhausting.
1. Not everyone is like you... :(
2. Not everything is about you :)
3. Be companionate to someone that made you feel this.
4. Know yourself to not really take everything serious.
5. You can choose what to take close to yourself. Everyone have very different points.
6. We all have things to improve and problems with us.
I love how your actually being sweet about it because when I try to ask my family for advice they always say it in a mean way so I’m glad u understand
On a positive note, yesterday at work my coworker reacted really abrasively to me over a simple question, and even my other coworker made a face at me (signaling 'wow that was rude of him'), and I just said "oh ok", and as the shift went on he made comments about how anxious he was that day and how he had a really rough night etc. I definitely understood that he was trying to explain why he reacted the way he did earlier, without talking about it explicitly. That helped remind me to not take these things personally, I don't know what they're dealing with. I'm a very bubbly, friendly person who leaves their emotions at home. For better and for worse, I don't think my emotions are other people's responsibility. So I don't understand people who do, but that's okay, I don't need to. I just need to move on and stay in that happy mindset.
*Me: It is OK to be sensitive and profound; it is part of me.* Growing up in a strict household affected me. And everyone isn't the same, but we have similarities on some level. I'll take today (1st April) a hiatus from online for 2 months which is a good thing. Taking care of yourself and your time is essential.
Hope you have been well, Michelle. Take care of yourself! What you said is true. Logically and do it right with "don't react" to things that are bad to you. Your videos inspired me.
Thank you so much❤️ Hope youve been doing great as well:) I relate so much to this
And I agree😭 time is flyyying!! Wishing all the best to you:)
I feel like this is the most SPOT ON video/piece of advice I've seen when it comes to this topic. All of these tips are the same ones I tell myself when I feel hurt by what others say and this helps me feel validated. As you said for yourself, I used to dwell on an unpleasant social interaction for days after it happened. I still do that sometimes but not for as long as I used to. Thank you for this 💜
this was an extremely helpful video Michelle, thank you!
especially coming to terms with "not everyone is like you" because like you said, people have different behaviours, values, morals etc. eg. one person might only ever yell at someone for doing an absolutely terrible thing and even then might feel bad and wonder if they were too harsh, but someone else might view yelling at others as a normal behaviour for venting their everyday life frustrations/anxieties and not give it a second thought, they may feel better after doing it
But we have to accept that's just them and we can't control it!
This is such lovely, warm, compassionate advice. And super helpful too! Thank you :)
This hits home. I've always been a sensitive person. But I can always manage it when other people does or says something which made me angry or hurt me but when it comes to people whom i love and care about it's a different story. Like i get hurt so easily, and I'm someone who doesn't like to hide it when I'm displeased. I always end up telling people how what they did hurt me. They get defensive. I don't blame them. It's not like they're doing it intentionally but still I'd have loved it if they were little considerate. Anyway. Because of all this, everyone's becoming little distant because they don't know how to behave around me, neither do I. Again I don't blame anyone but myself.
I have decided to change it, want to take baby steps and not let everything evryone says get into my heart.
I was a special education teacher and I am now a social worker and being a highly sensitive person made me realllllllly be mindful of my emotions and my own mindset. It took a lot of working on myself.
saving this video for when I feel like im overthinking a situation, this was very helpful 👍👍
It's okay! Be yourself who cares what others think.
🥰🥰🫶🏼
Tbh I also tend to take things personally and it's something that I've been really wanting to change. Maybe it's due to some insecurities or little 'traumas' that I have but I tend to get offended or really mad over anything. I really liked when u said 'not everyone is like you' because I think u got a point. Not everyone knows how their actions can affect you, and I actually think I'm gonna be keeping that on mind from now
Than u for posting this vid 💌
I'm also very sensitive and take things too personaly. Thank you for this video, it is really helpfull ❤️
YES omg I needed this I feel EXACTLY like this especially in my new retail job I was so scared of disappointing people and upset when they got slightly annoyed or anything
Omg congrats on the job🥳 you’re just like me😭 don’t let it get to you:) you’re going to do amazing!
You really made my day with this video to help me not take things personally in life
I needed to hear this. Thanks. Men don’t really make content of this kind, so I’m glad I found this video.
Of course:) all genders are welcome here🫶🏼
If you are the queen . I am the king of taking this personally
😭😭😭
Hey Michelle! Just wanted to say I discovered your channel a few days ago and really like your content! I've dealt with depression and anxiety pretty much since the start of college but somehow I'm about to graduate in a month lol. I've worked in door and window sales so I know all about not taking things personally aha. It's good to see you're open to change which is definitely something needed in any sort of customer service :)
Omg welcome:) thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoy it! Congratulations 🥳I’m so proud of you for graduating despite everything! And I wish you all the best:) haha tell me about, it was rough at first but def worth the growth
@@MichelleGia thank you so much! Didn't think I'd make it but somehow I did lol, i would definitely recommend if you're really looking to handle rejection and your social skills I would definitely work in sales! I've heard some guys in the states make a lot of money in car sales much more so in comparison to the UK. Not sure if that sounds appealing to you but maybe worth exploring?
As an HSP, this video means a lot. Thank you for doing it.
This is sooo timely. Thanks, Michelle!💕
Awe no worries🤭🥰
i needed this so bad
😘🫶🏼
U r my comfort youtuber who somehow knows the things I am dealing w and makes a video abt it that I need luv u ❤
Ahhh that makes me so happy🥺❤️love you sm!!
I love your channel so much! Also you’re so pretty omg😭❤️
Awe thank you so much🥰❤️
@@MichelleGia omg you replied 😭❤️❤️
I have this issue too...
Your voice is so calming 🥺❤️
Thank you❤️
Thank you. I can relate to many things that you said.
my mom drives me crazy 24/7. it's hard not to crack and give in to her arguing and pestering, and I often start crying when she gets to yelling at me.
thank you.
too me if I take it personally just try to clear my mind and take a deep breathe cause i’m not gonna waist my energy arguing with somebody
yess exactly!! i love this for you:)
I’m also a sensitive person, always have been, but I’m nowhere near your personal growth haha, I’m such an overthinker, I overthink the slightest thing out of believing someone will think badly of me if they took it the wrong way because I failed to explain myself clear enough, so I gotta get tangled up in my explanation like I usually would, just to make sure they understand my intentions.
Working in customer service has honestly been the worst experience ever (not the money, the actual yelling and abuse). It got to a point I got very anxious every time the phone ringed (it was a call center for a huge American company) I would sweat and my heart would rush, it was horrible, I was so afraid they would yell at me and gift them money in advance so that they’d be happy, but even before that, I would think to myself that it would be the last customer service job I’d do out of how horrible it was. For sure I’m always on the brink of crying every time someone raises their voice at me tho, whoever that may be.
I really don’t know how I’m going to get to the point you’re at, maybe I’ll read some book that’ll enlighten me in a way no one did before, or I’ll grow out of it to the point of catching and ignoring ppls bs, but I sure hope it happens soon because I need to get a job and I don’t have a degree, so it will have to be customer service again 😥 (I’m just 23 tho)
Are you an INFJ tho? I recently found out I am and also found out what this personality type is characterized by and I’m shook at how accurate it is, and based on your videos and the fact you like thinking and reflecting and growing (like, a lot), and me recently finding out my fav activity IS thinking and reflecting (always gotta throw a random fact I learned about anything to ppl 🤣) I’m thinking you may be! But that is the coolest thing, finding someone with the same interest as me, I’ve always felt misunderstood bc no one’s ever shared my interests and point of view

Okay first of all I got to say that I love your dark hair, Michelle! I liked the bleached version too ofc 🧡 and yeah, I’m the case of being sensitive I’m just like you for real xD but somehow the older I get, the more thick skinned I become (also my boxing exercises have done miracles to my self confidence!) Although the worst type of criticism that would immediately set me up is criticizing my writing and all that, I’m always like I TRUSTED YOU, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FUN NOT CRITICIZE ME XD buuut maybe I’ll get it fixed in the future. Thanks for your insight, Michelle! And happy spring holidays to you 🧡 (we have Easter this weekend here and somehow my house has never been more disorganized before, our fridge is literally running on empty xD)
OMG, sorry i missed this, but thank you so much Jules😭😭❤️ yes you always get me, it definitely makes sense though, and its valid to feel that way especially considering how much you care about your writing, I still have my moments as well. But we're all still learning and trying and I hope you are able to find peace in any comments that come your way! Hope your spring had been treating you well:) wishing you all the best this season🥰
literally the video I needed hehe
❤️❤️
Damn…we’re really just a big spirit family🥰❤️✨
🥰🥰🥰
May I speak Michelle about the (I) in Spiritual Literature the( I) is attached to our Egotistical personality rather than our Soul personality. When we say i, as you know comparing our ( i) to there’s. I’ve learned as you stated at the end of the video we begin to think in alignment with a more understanding perception. What have they been through, why are they upset today.
We should be more constructive in our criticism. CG Jung is pretty famous for this. He has a Theory that condemning people causes oppression in most cases.
But enough of my advice you have yet again expressed your uniqueness.
I swear I relate to every single video you release! 💀I think I have found my ex-people pleaser community 😅
welcome to the family
you're growing up into a beautiful girl in and out...
i have been a consumer of your video since quite long..
i hope you post more frequently or should make an ig so that more people can connect with you
Thank you so much for your kind words and support it really means a lot😇😄!!
Oh this video is for me
Twin💅🏻
sending love
😘❤️
Honestly, I take things personally when people are unfriendly. I get so frustrated that I want to punch walls and use profanity and get upset
We the same person 🤦🏾♂️ I’m really cautious about things that can happen so I overthink
You get it😔it’s rough for us
i really would love to see how you do your make up 🥺
🥰🥰I can def do an updated makeup routine one day!!
I’ll admit I am sensitive and my emotions explode when I am compared to someone in a negative form
Or when people wont accept my POV and still put me in the wrong
(It’s why I left my apprenticeship, and it’s why I am left with not knowing where I want to be)
Same case with me
❤️
Social and general anxiety here 🙋🏽♀️
You’re so beautiful!!😍
Thank you🥺❤️
What cripples me is not being able to put people who talk shit in their place - I ain't built for this kinda environment.
❤❤❤
❤️🫶🏼
I take things personally too much because certain things upset me
Make a video of stop trying to prove your point everyone and let it be how it is
Why are you literally the best at giving vid suggestions?🫶🏼
I really want you to start your podcast pleaseeeee
hehe sorry love, ive just been caught up with stuff but hopefully soon😭
@@MichelleGia that'd be great 🥺
The saying that people come up with such as "Dont take things so personally", " you need to get thick skin" or It was just a joke, Its not that serious, doesnt sound realistic. While yes we should do everything we can to not react in ways that does not create violent situations. To entirely say for someone not to take anything serious doesnt sound logical because while some people tell others or themselves that, your denying something that someone said from being heard and repressing your emotions to get over it. Its been scientifically proven that if you say bad affirmations to a plant the state on the plant will deteriorate compared to a plant that is overly healthy by positive affirmations, daily sunlight and water. The problem is that in todays world people have been taught to overlook their emotions to make others around them comfortable, others meaning the people who have everything figured out, liked by everyone,etc. They probably never been in a situation that has caused them stress by what someone has said or done to them. Thats why the term narcissist or narcissistic is prevelant today because people have been taught to dimiss their own feelings and what is presented around them. This is why its almost impossible for others who are empaths to find relatable individuals for friendship because someone around them is telling them in advice or through argument for them to not take things so personal. Its dismissive, insensitive and causes damage. Telling someone not to take something so serious, or that its not personal can cause feelings of hatred or anger. This is why people are committing violent acts against others in society because its the refusal to listen or provide useful advice that shows one cares.

I hate my fam they always get mad at me just for not taking something from them and if i do they get mad still
