Too Much?

Is there something wrong with me for feeling so deeply?

What This Might Be

A flushed face.
A cracked voice.
A swallowed sob in the middle of a meeting.

You try to hold it in.
Hold it together.
Hold it back.

But maybe the real question isn’t
“Why am I like this?”
It’s:
“Why does the world fear this kind of softness?”

Graceful Reflection

Sometimes the world treats deep feelers as if they are unstable, dramatic, or weak. But emotional depth is not a defect — it’s a capacity. A gift. A language. A form of truth-telling.

This card invites you to notice the stories you've absorbed about what is "too much" — and whether they still belong to you.

You are not broken.
You are a mirror that refuses to go numb.

Soft Places to Land

  • When was the first time I was told I was “too sensitive” or “too emotional”?

  • Whose voice do I hear when I start to shame myself for feeling deeply?

  • What might shift if I saw this depth as a gift instead of a flaw?

Gentle Grounding

The Mirror Practice

Stand in front of a mirror.
Look into your own eyes for 30 seconds.
Notice what feelings arise.
Then say (softly):
"It’s okay to feel this much."
"I’m allowed to stay soft."
"I’m still whole, even here."

This isn’t about performance — it’s about presence.

Closing Whisper

Feeling deeply isn’t weakness.
It’s the cost of staying open
in a world that taught you to close.

Let your softness be your strength.
