Richard Carlson grew up as a teenager in the 1980s and early '90s. He was teased by his peers, and his feelings were often hurt. He was unaware that he was different from most people; he has a highly sensitive personality trait, which 15 to 20 percent of people, both men and women, are born with. He never realized how sensitive he was until he was nearly twenty-one years old. Unfortunately, because Richard didn't know he was sensitive, he didn't take rejection well, and his self-esteem was devastated. Indeed, he missed out on a lot as a teenager because of low self-esteem.
