I’m very sensitive, too. Although I’m a lot more cynical now, just having been through some major shit over the years, I’d say: please don’t try to lose this quality. 💕

We are severely outnumbered, and took me awhile to accept that I am who I am: a kind person, up against a lot of unkindness and injustice in the world. I’ve always been different, and not really fit in; it bothered me growing up and I spent too much time worrying about what others thought. I now realize I wouldn’t want to fit in with cruel, ignorant people.

What helped me is learning how to set firm (but kind) boundaries, and not let people cross them. Even determining what your boundaries are is a good step. This can take awhile to practice! But now, I’m my kind, sensitive self, but also, not a doormat, either.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I bet she had a beautiful and very long life with you.

That’s your best friend… I still can’t look at pics of my old kitty boy without tearing up - but you’re right, most of my phone space is devoted to snuggling kitties, and it’s a good thing.

r/reactivedogs is a sub I just found - doesn’t answer your specific question about the school, but I found it helpful 🥰

They've been calling me a terrible person for asking about driving to DC, when I live in West Virginia, with ZERO infrastructure and no reliable public transport. What am I supposed to do... Cycle to DC from West Virgina, with a crippling disability...? 😂

They're obviously very privileged, full of hate, and they could have chosen kind words to get their point across, but instead, just woke up and chose violence, lol.
