Books on self-love and understanding myself

Hi everyone!

How are you all?

It has been a while since I have been here. Trying to recover from a break up, then ended up falling into bad habits. I seem to never be able to escape the past, it’s like I have an attachment.
After talking to some people over the past couple months, I learnt that I am extremely sensitive and emotional- this isn’t anything that I did not know prior. However, I have begun to understand it a little more about myself. And I want to change. I often let myself get upset about a lot of things, I have cried quite a lot over the past couple weeks and life doesn’t feel stable for me right now.

I want to change, become a more positive person, stop being so emotional and sensitive and understand how to become a better person.

Does anyone have any good books to recommend for people who are “too emotional” or “ too sensitive”. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

@pharmagirl27 hi🫶
I hope you’re doing okay, I’m sorry to hear about your breakup (Im here if you ever want to talk about it )

first off I can completely relate and understanding the feeling of being ‘too emotional’. Sometimes it can feel like a curse because it means we might over reactive to certain things and be overly emotional but personally I like to convince myself it’s also a blessing in some ways.

Even though the bad times can feel even worse, when we have things we really care about, we are really passionate and it’s kinda cool that we have the ability to feel such a large range of emotions (some people definitely don’t!) anyway i completely understand your feelings but I’m not sure you necessarily need to ‘change’ the fact you’re sensitive (it’s not a bad thing🫶) but maybe you could try change your perspective

In terms of book recommendations, I personally love the perks of being a wallflower ( I read it about two years ago the first time and it’s one of my favourites, it really helped me see the world and myself in a different way, however could be triggering to some people so maybe do a bit of research before reading it just in case!)
