Are you too sensitive or are they being a disrespectful human? This question came through from a listener and I'm diving in to answer!

Welcome to SelfKind, a podcast for Highly Sensitive People who want to understand and befriend their sensitivity while finding ways to navigate the tricky bits.

In today's episode I'm sharing how you can figure out if your sensitivity is the issue or if someone else's behaviour is actually disrespectful or unkind.

Let's dive in.

You will hear:
- How insensitive comments are often framed as humour, which can lead to confusion and masking our true feelings
- Why knowing how you feel (and believing it) is important
- How your sensitivity can make it more difficult to identify disrespect
- The role of self-awareness and self-reflection
- Why overstimulation can make everyone your enemy
- and more.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
