As a highly sensitive and emotional gay man, I have struggled with various mental health issues throughout my life, including anxiety, depression, and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Perhaps the greatest challenge I face is the fear of rejection, loneliness, and abandonment.
Growing up, I often felt like I didn't quite fit in with those around me. This feeling of being different, combined with my sensitivity and emotional intensity, led to a deep-seated fear of rejection. I constantly worried about whether or not people liked me, and I struggled to form meaningful connections with others.
This fear of rejection was compounded by my fear of loneliness and abandonment. I have always craved connection and closeness with others, but at the same time, I have been terrified of being left alone. This fear has led me to cling to relationships that weren't healthy for me, and to avoid taking risks that could potentially lead to rejection.
Despite these challenges, I have learned to work through my fears and continue to grow as a person. Through therapy, self-reflection, and self-care, I have found ways to better manage my anxiety and depression. I have also learned to embrace my sensitivity and emotional intensity, and to use them as strengths in my personal and professional life.
Now, as a coach, I am committed to helping others who may be struggling with similar challenges. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to overcome feelings of rejection, loneliness, and abandonment, but I also know that it is possible to find connection, meaning, and purpose in life.
I am here to support my clients through their own journeys of self-discovery and growth, and to help them build lives that are rich with love, connection, and fulfillment.
