Handle With Care

Often, we come across parcels and show pieces in showrooms with a tag that says, ‘ Handle with care. ‘ At once, our hands start handling those things very cautiously. The sole reason is, ‘Who will bear the cost of its damage? Better stay away.’

My dear friends, sensitive people are the same as things with an invisible tag of “Handle with care.” They have been this way since childhood, or circumstances have forced them to be. The most common traits of sensitive people are overthinking, assuming, taking things too deeply to heart, avoiding people, and, most importantly, crying.

Handle Sensitive People With Care

Being sensitive, I have heard statements like, “Stop crying, grow up.” “Why are you crying?” “Please stop crying; it’s not good for your health.” “Be strong.”

Now, how is crying related to growing up? Tears flow when the heart is whole, of children and adults. The reason for the heart being entire can be either sorrow or joy. But crying is an involuntary act, just an expression of emotions. So let us not tell anyone who is crying hereafter to grow up.

“Why are you crying?”

It can sound offensive if asked by the wrong person or at the wrong time. In our busy lives, we seldom care to go into the details of a matter. Please do not ask this question if you are not honestly concerned about the person. Trust me, if asked by someone who genuinely cares for you, it might hurt an emotional person. Because people who have spent years with him/ her are expected to know the soft, tender heart of the same. Try to figure out the reason from your end first. And only if you cannot, ask. But with good intentions. If you cannot, then leave the person alone.

When people say, ‘Stop crying, as it’s not good for your health,’ they should try to understand the reason behind the crying. The person might not have any option but to cry. Sometimes, when words fail to communicate emotions, tears come to aid. Only those close to the person will be able to make out the cause of these salty-flowing rivers.

The fuuniest statement

Of all, it is when they say to be strong. Physical strength has nothing to do with sensitivity. A sensitive person might handle physical tasks more effortlessly when needed. Also, if the advisers cannot be emotional, they should not expect the other way around. Displaying emotions is a trait of, in fact, strong people. Showing what you are feeling takes a lot of courage, willpower, and a crystal clear heart. Do not take emotional people for granted, for sure. Because if not backed by anyone else, such people have God. They are fondly called God’s children.

A person who has faced trauma

needs extra care and affection from their loved ones. Because they might be attacked verbally, personally, through texts, or even through gestures. People just comment and give advice and opinions but rarely help. If you cannot do the last act, just leave these people alone. Words get etched on a soft heart and stay there forever. They wake up, live, and sleep with those words thereafter. So, be very careful when dealing with emotional people. They actually come with two tags: Handle with care or Stay away.

Go for the second option if you cannot do the first.
