What It’s Like To Date a Highly Sensitive Person
Him: Are you okay?
Me: Yes.
Him: Laura.
Me: NO.
*begins to wail*
*buries her head under a pillow*
Him: What happened?
Me: I WAS LISTENING TO LES MISERABLES ON MY iPOD.
Him: …
Me: It’s just so s-s-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. But then, TOUCHING.
*cries harder*
Him: I…hm.
Me: (looking up from pillow) DO NOT TELL ANYONE THIS HAPPENED.
A few minutes later…
Him: Do you want to order some dinner?
Me: *bursts into fresh tears* I WOULD LOVE TO. I LOVE DINNER SO MUCH.
Him: Woah, seriously, are you okay?
Me: I don’t know. I think I’m tired. Also, I just went to yoga so I’m feeling particularly vulnerable right now.
Him: Between that and the Les Miz comment, can I just say that you have never sounded so incredibly white.
Me: And insane. OH GOD I FEEL CRAZY.
Him: DON’T CRY.
Me: TOO LATE.




I just love you.
