I mean fist-fighting as a kid, singing in a doo wop group as a teenager, and fighting again as a Vietnam War infantry platoon leader. Next I was lured into writing. Worked as a journalist and then felt more compassion for my fellow workers and became a union organizer for the newspaper guild. I wanted to be a labor lawyer and went to law school only to get a sign from God in the form of a D in labor law. Switched to criminal law, where I got a whopping C average and defended the underdog for 20 years as a public defender in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. Now, I am on disability from PTSD from the previous generation's war. Got more time to meditate and find spiritual growth through studies of Eastern philosophies and fun things like Feng Shui and Reflexology. Still am sensitive, and more aware of it. Don't feel so all alone, thanks, in large part, to people like yourself. michael j Conshohocken, PA USA I acted the clown to get through the tough times, fought when that didn’t work.

This is how we are able to connect and learn from each other. I'd love to hear your thoughts about the YouTube book trailer that was made for my memoir about growing up sensitive. It explains high sensitivity and helps people to recognize the trait. Please write and say hello if you get a chance!
