I use to be in an emotionally and psychologically abusive relationship. This person made me hate myself and everything about me. I was gaslit, humiliated, manipulated, yelled at, punished and ridiculed. I was told constantly that I am "too sensitive" and I need to change that about myself or else people won't like me. I hated this about myself, I HATED how sensitive I was (of course not taking into account that I was dating a literal narcissist). I wanted to change this about myself, but I didn't know how to make my feelings not feel so loud. It was a dark time in my life and I saw no way out. I saw no way of things getting better and me being better. A friend (this friend) helped me see the light. They helped me see the abuse I was enduring that was hidden as "love". Love is not supposed to make you feel like shit about yourself. Love isn't about gaslighting your partner to make them feel literally crazy and love certainly isn't about making someone feel inferior to you because you're so deeply insecure about yourself. Fuck that shit. I saw the red flags and I got the fuck out. I am NOT too sensitive for this world and neither are you. And no one should ever feel like they need to change this about themselves. Being sensitive is a strength - I'm intuitive, empathetic and STRONG. Never let a small fragile man make you feel like you are not the strong woman that you are. You are better than what they say. They want you to feel small because they're afraid. And they should be. @amy.abajian shot on @lomography #redscale #120film using my Yashica Mat 124G #womanwhoshootfilm #sheshootsfilm #girlgaze #heylomography #unvaeljournal #taintedmag #mediumformat #afilmcosmos #taintedfilm #analogphotography #theanalogclub #womanartist #fucknarcissits #fuckabusers
