This book is not a how-to guide. It is a cry for help, a confession—and an invitation: to all who experience things differently. And to those who support such people. Gaby Schrenk recounts her journey through overwhelm, withdrawal, and pain—unflinchingly and movingly—and the strength that lies in no longer denying oneself. Her words are addressed to highly sensitive, neurodiverse people—and also to parents, partners, colleagues, and friends who want to understand what lies behind the perceived "excess." With poetic texts, personal experiences, and mindful exercises, this book opens spaces for self-acceptance, new clarity, and genuine connection. It is an honest, personal manifesto against masking and the pressure to conform. And a courageous appeal to no longer hide vulnerability, but to understand it as a strength. For all those who feel they often don't fit into this world—and who are here precisely for that reason, to help shape it. Notes: New product
