Have you ever been told you’re “too sensitive”?
- Too emotional.
- Too observant.
- Too much.
For a long time, I thought my sensitivity was a flaw.
- Something to hide.
- Something to suppress.
- Something to downplay so I can ‘fit in’.
But what if the very thing we try to suppress is our greatest strength?
What if that sensitivity, the one that made you feel “too much”, is actually the foundation of creativity?
Let’s dive in.
Sensitivity as the Seed of Creativity
Here’s the thing about being sensitive: it means you’re attuned.
You pick up on subtleties others might miss.
You feel deeply.
You notice shifts in:
- Energy,
- Trends,
- People.
And that is the foundation of creativity.
As Pearl S. Buck once said:
“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive.”
The more I leaned into this truth, the more I realised:
Creativity thrives in sensitivity.
It’s what allows you to connect with others in deeper ways, to tap into ideas that resonate deeply, and to build something meaningful in the world.
This is why the creator economy isn’t about:
- The most skilled humans
- The most polished influencers
- The top voices of the world.
It’s for anyone willing to share their unique perspective and turn it into something valuable.
Yes, even you..with all your feelings, doubts, and dreams.
The truth is:
- People connect with people.
- And if you’re reading this, you have a story.
- And with that story, there is definitely wisdom you learned.
But will you have the courage to go for it?
Stepping Into the Creator Economy
So you might be asking: how do you go from being “sensitive” to thriving as a creator?
It starts with a decision.
This decision is usually the aftermath of hitting your pain threshold.
- You’ve had enough of your own suffering.
- You feel the cost of staying the same is too big.
- You realize that avoiding change is no longer protecting you but hurting you.
- You start to see that growth, while uncomfortable, is the only way forward.
The problem with sensitive humans is that they usually have a large capacity to hold pain.
- You’re friends with pain.
- You love holding on instead of letting go.
- You’d rather stay stuck because it feels safer.
So this decision doesn’t come quickly.
This is why alchemy and consciously doing the work to identify your own unconsciousness is a very important step.
When you do, you’ll learn that you bring an energy that no one else can.
- Your vibe.
- Your voice.
- Your vision.
With that you see that your sensitivity is not as a liability, but a superpower.
Here’s how sensitivity works for you as a creator:
1) Your Sensitivity is a Compass
Think of your sensitivity as a radar.
It picks up signals..
- what feels aligned, what doesn’t,
- what’s trending, and where there’s potential.
In the creator economy, this gives you an edge.
When you notice shifts in energy, whether it’s in your own life or the world around you, you’re already ahead of the curve.
You don’t need to wait for the market to tell you where to go, you just feel it.
But the challenge is:
- Are you attuned to it?
- Are you looking for it?
- Will you trust it?
Those are the biggest obstacles to sensitive humans.
Because they’re usually emotionally invested in whatever reality they’re living, they get carried away and stay in a loop.
This is due to emotional dysregulation.
With that:
1) They consume content to amplify their emotional state:
Sensitive people often gravitate toward digital content that mirrors their current emotional state.
Whether it’s bingeing dramatic shows, playing sad music, or doom-scrolling negative news.
While this might feel validating in the moment, it keeps them stuck in the same emotional patterns, like a loop they can’t break free from.
2) They mirror the energy they absorb ( unconsciously)
Rather than tapping into their creative potential, they unconsciously amplify the negative energy they’ve absorbed.
This could look like venting online, joining groups, or mirroring those same heavy emotions to their friends.
3) They let their sensitivity define them
Sensitivity can become a trap when it’s tied too closely to what they consume.
Whether it’s an online aesthetic, a narrative, or a persona, they cling to external influences instead of using their energy to innovate, grow, or create something uniquely their own.
This blurs the lens from which they’re viewing the world. ( Aka their perspective)
2) Identity + Skill = Creator Mastery
To thrive as a creator, you need two things:
- A strong identity.
- The skills to back it up.
Your identity is who you become as you step into this role.
It’s the version of you that:
- Trusts your sensitivity,
- Owns your creativity,
- And commits to showing up.
Even when it’s hard.
Your skills are what bring that vision to life.
Let’s say your dream is to have a 10 Million Business and you’re currently at Zero.
You can’t actually just dream or visualize it:
You have to think of the actual version of yourself living that reality.
- What are the ideas you’re sharing?
- What are the projects you’re channeling?
- What is the value you’re transferring into $$$?
- Who am I becoming and what lifestyle am I living while doing all of this?
You don’t become a vibrational match to that 10M without asking deeper questions and actually connecting with your intuition to answer them.
Because the truth is,
There are hundreds of ways to do it.
But is it the aligned way for you?
That, my friend, is why social media is one of the best ways to find out.
Think of it, it’s a free ticket to the lottery.
All you have to do is: show up and play.
- You don’t need to pay to play through Ads
- You don’t need to buy stocks, materials, or anything
- you don’t even need to have it all figured out.
You just have to:
- Feel your emotions and decide to channel them ( Alchemy)
- Write down what you channeled in a creative way. ( Writing Content)
- Build the vehicle that’s going to drive you to that higher vision ( Social Media)
The human mind wasn’t designed over thousands of years to dumb scroll on social media.
You can use it to create, instead of wasting its energy in consumption.
And when you use for creation:
- You turn your pain into creative work.
- You write your ideas in a creative way.
- You connect and build your soul tribe.
And that’s going to open up new doors.
And the cherry on top is:
because you’re attuned to your emotions, you have higher probabilities of:
- Feel the trends before they happen.
- You release the heavy emotions into creations.
- You attract through your unique frequency transmitted through your words.
And that makes you a unique creative.
You rise even higher in the game and you attract new and higher experiences into your life.
But it all starts with facing your own self, feeling your emotions, and actually deciding to turn it into creative, wholesome work ( or play).
Your Sensitivity is Your Edge ( Letter Takeaway)
The creator economy isn’t just about making content; it’s about making connections.
And if you’re sensitive, you have a natural advantage.
You’re already wired to sense what others feel, to notice gaps, and to create something that speaks to the heart.
The key is to
- Trust it.
- Embrace it.
- Turn it into your greatest strength.
Because here’s the truth:
The world doesn’t need more creators who follow the same formula.
It needs people like you:
Sensitive, creative, and willing to show up as your fullest self.
