On Being “Sensitive” to the Paranormal

It’s hard enough being sensitive. I’m not talking paranormal sensitive–I’m talking compassionate to the plight of others. On top of that, I’m sensitive to changes in season, temperature, and even the moods of others. I am apparently affected by fluctuations in EMF and temperature. It’s probably not surprising to find that I am sensitive to paranormal occurrences. Dreams, in particular. This isn’t anything I haven’t touched on before…but I want to throw it out there that when I say I’m ’sensitive’ I mean all of the above.

I’m terribly observant emotionally, though not entirely observant in other ways.

I’ve noticed in the paranormal community and on television, ghost hunters find it strange that some people consider themselves sensitive, or perhaps more attuned to the spirit world because of their spiritual alignment. It’s like the moment someone says ‘I’m Wiccan,’ they are rejected by the community (at times). I think that some Pagans find their spiritual path in part due to sensitivity (paranormal and otherwise) — so instead of taking advantage of this talent to possibly sense or connect with the paranormal, why do some spurn it?

I haven’t been on a ghost hunt, but sometimes I sense things and I just know. I’m not psychic or even particularly balanced as far as stress and all of that goes; it’s just something I am. I have a power of observance, but it’s not out of the ordinary. Why do others think it’s so weird? I am, for the most part, in control of my emotions. As a writer, I am able to accept rejections and move on with relative ease. Why the weirdness when I mention my sensitivity in any capacity?

What are your thoughts?
