Sensitive men are strong men, but we have to learn how to channel it.

Sensitivity is linked to creativity and empathy, but this can be double-edged. The sensitivity can make you react more strongly to criticism, discomfort or rejection. We can also absorb the emotions of other people around us and take on their negativity.
Here are three ways you can deal with being highly sensitive:
- Ask yourself why do you feel this way?
- Avoid the negative self-talk
- Don’t take things to heart, or personally.
Sensitivity is a strength when matched with taking the time to breathe, to slow down and to reflect.
Each day means a new 24 hours. Each day means everything is possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment, you take it all in one day at a time. Marie Lu, author of the Legend series
