Yes Paul. The scars do run deep and especially for an HSP whose world of Spirit is so contrary to this material-idealized world. This is why I am an anti-bullying advocate I think also.

We’re all different personalities and we all have our own path to walk. There is never an excuse to intentionally inflict pain on people.

And HSP’s seem to be especially targetted… As far as this world goes, it’s a special kind of handicap that we’ve been trained to hide.

I say “Quit hiding for we are legion.” So let’s comes out this stifling closet and do support each other instead!

I know that i have built barrier’s mentally to protect myself from emotional hurt , i guess that’s what you do when you’re young and going through this kinda thing … I have never let anyone get too close , i wont be vulnerable … a victim . I still do my best to be a good human being but the scar’s run deep and even though i’m in my fifties , the barrier’s remain .

John - you are so right. I talk to people quite often, even well into their 50’s who are STILL so deeply scarred and hurt from the hurtful words of their parents more than 40 years earlier.

I would like to think, though, that healing of one’s spirit *is* possible! How is the million dollar question right? Well. This will be my next article. I will dedicate it to you. :)

PS. I took hiatus this summer and am now in the process of moving the website but I want to answer this because I think it is important.

Word can hurt even more than sticks and stones. Broken bones can heal, but sometimes the spirit never heals from the damage done by someone else’s words.

[…] Unlike some other people I imagine, I know I am capable of being hurt by words. I am very sensitive to unseen energy, paranormal or metaphysical happenings as well as sensitive to words. So if I already “feel” a negative energy from you, trust and know that I [as well as other Highly Sensitive People / HSP’s or psychics or energy readers or whatever] already know how you feel about me. I really do not need for your words to try to send me any “subtle” message. […]

[…] And just because you may not find the acceptance you want from certain “normal” people does not mean you have to be subjected to abuses by others. If you are like me and suffered at the whims of people either making fun of you or overtly going out of their way to seemingly make you feel less than, belittled or odd, then I suggest you spend some time at the Codependent recovery section in that you learn that just because you are different, does not give anyone license to berate or belittle you! Or if you already know about Codependent Recovery but need help with knowing how to respond to some of the words people use, or caustic manners of their speech, I would advise looking at the Words can Harm category or see the Words can Harm. Words can Heal series. […]

Absolutely, Ron! I am glad I am not the only one who thinks it’s a nursery lie to try to diminish the power of words by attempting to lie to children that words don’t hurt or shouldn’t.

Words can cause more misery and dis-ease than anything else I can think of. And when used harmfully, it can cause dis-ease to spread faster than any physical form of cancer ever could.

Physical cancer rattles our physical bodies. Spiritual cancer rattles our spirit…that uniquely *us* thing that breathes life into our bodies.

This is why today I choose to be a messenger of encouragement and hope to everyone suffering from people who misuse words. If we can spread dis-ease, I KNOW we can transmit the opposite! I know we can transmit, health, happiness, tolerance, and peace.

Thanks for commenting Ron! :)

words are the only weapon people know will do the most damage, and that will be the most permanent. words in the hands of truly cruel people cause more paim and suffering than any gun or bomb will ever do in people’s personal, day-t-day lives. if you really want someone to know how much you hate and despise something or someone, just toss out a few well chosen words and you can cause hell to brake loose in very large chunks.

luv,
