Although Highly Sensitive People often share several common traits, there are 3 main aspects of being a highly sensitive person that are shared among all highly sensitive people. Being sensitive is not right or wrong or good or bad - it just is. It's a trait - part of who a person is. Yes, it can make some parts of being human harder, but it also makes many parts so much better. In this talk, you'll learn specifically what the 3 main aspects are so you can know for sure if you, or someone you know is an HSP.

Intuition is such a powerful tool in knowing people and situations. It is not about what people say or do but what they inevitably show you, without them even consciously aware they are revealing themselves, that tells you their true intention and feelings towards you. This is intuition at work. And I see intuition as one of the most, if not the most precious gifts of being a highly sensitive person. It helps me to discern the geunine from the phoney.

Lord as I struggle to pay my rent every month and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I ask that you bless me with your wisdom and guidance, as I navigate parenthood on my own heal my lupus and heart disease and continue to give me strength to keep going so I may watch my sons grow into men. ❤

Oh Julia! All 3 points that you have covered, these are sooooooo relatable. At point 3, the subtle stimuli section, I just burst out in laughter when you were sharing your carpet story 😂 I used to feel so puzzled by this highly sensitive trait of myself because I wasn't even aware that something like this exist, identifiable, explainable. The more resources I explored about it, I have felt a sense of empowerment. Now I feel proud and pure gratitude for having this. Life has sure become less puzzling, more intriguing 😌

Hi Julia, I love this HSP series you have been doing on KZfaq. I think I am very much a deep processor...sometimes even an overthinker because of it! Lol I do think and feel deeply. I journal a lot, I do many ABCBOs and now trying to work on more Thought Ladders, but as you can see too, even just writing notes down for KZfaq videos and your newsletters, helps me process all this information. I think it is also why I have a hard time commenting lightly on our takeaways from our Wednesday sessions. I tend to write a lot. Lol Again, I love that you have made a few videos now about being an HSP and I love the new format with the stock footage and you sharing your key points (Makes it easier for me to take notes! Lol) Here are my notes: *Being highly sensitive means your senses are more sensitive. *It isn't a bad or good thing. It is how you engage with life in and out. *Tune in when you are feeling overwhelmed or stimulated. *You may need more time to yourself and to recharge. *HSPs are not just for introverts, 30% of HSPs are extroverts. *Being an HSP is not a flaw or a disorder *It is a trait and how you are and engage in the world. *About 20% of the population are highly sensitive people. *Research has recently found that a genetic marker for sensitivity was discovered. (In your DNA) 3 Main Aspects of being a Highly Sensitive Person: 1. Highly sensitive people are typically deeper processors. 2. Your ability to be emotionally responsive. 3. You are very sensitive to subtle stimuli. Being an HSP can make things more challenging, but it also makes things so beautiful.

Being a highly sensitive male has unique benefits and challenges. However, as a single parent (with sole custody) looking to date again, I struggle to leverage any of the benefits. I don’t want to consistently be seen as a ‘nice guy,’ but rather as the ‘good man’ I truly am.

What do you notice changing as you learn to accept yourself more as an HSP?

@Marekcatholic 7 ай бұрын

@@juliakristinamah The more I accept myself, the more others accept me too. its comes from within. I notice there is a pull to still put myself in the role where Im trying to be more robust than I really am as a man. and the more I create a distance between me being much tougher, and make a step or two back towards being more sensitive(not worse as a human being, just different) the closer I come to me accepting myself more as an HSP. to play with an idea that I can appear a little weird to people. I notice some pressure from my family to be tougher than I really am. there are many great things about being an HSP. I just need to work on expectations of others, of myself and comparisons. Thank you , Julia!

I am glad you talked about empathy because I started having this in a big way at a young age, and I remember noticing that it was slightly more than others were noticing. This HSP thing is something I have thought about for a few years since I first learned about it. I am not sure I am ready to assign myself as it is yet, but it is exciting, and I want to learn more.

Even from early childhood, I always knew that I was “different” to most of my peers. It became more obvious, but less understandable, as I grew older. It was only when I chanced upon Prof Elaine Aron’s work and the questionnaire she and her co-workers published that I could finally identify what was “different” in me. It was a relief to discover that it was a set of characteristics that were normal (especially as a man), albeit only found in 20% of the population. It was satisfying that this conglomeration of characteristics even had a term…. HSP (or sensory processing sensitivity, SPS). Thank you for this extremely clear video clip, Julia Kristina. It’s an easy-to-understand summary of what I am.

Just as we can see highly sensitive people as a trait, not a flaw, we can apply to other traits as well. For example, we can see tough, energetic people as a trait, not a flaw. 💪 One of my cats is highly sensitive. I can tell based on her reactions and behaviour, she is highly sensitive, just like me. 😺

Julia, per usual, you spoke about a very specific topic that I have been born to cope with my entire life. For me personally, I have difficulties in harnessing my HSP traits. They can often be overwhelming, which leads me to unnecessary emotional stress. At the same time, I feel there’s a great gift in being a HSP. As you mentioned, understanding someone may need a helpful hand or acknowledgement, viewing the beauty of nature, the laughter of children, etc; these can bring more joy. I know I have work to do when it comes to these traits, as I often become unbalanced when overloaded. Thank you, for this great video.

As a plausibility fir highly sensitive people, from an extroverted side (which may inhibit more nero diversity in connectivity) may tie in sensory degrees and even from a developmental aspect such as sights/sounds/smells/observational/even pressure changes potentially and from a introverted side (internalizing and requim or physiological cognition and resonance) so one may have physical responses such as over heating/cold clamy hands/irratic breath/sweating/knotty stomachs/shoulder tension and such, maybe an overdeveloped spinal cord same size as brain stem vs narrowing down in frame to align with vertebrae If one is an overthinker one could try getting physical, so if you are on a sitting area tap your feet and stomp your legs like Serena Ryder with stompa would say, and twist your body to a rhythm while doing so, try standing up and walk with your feet lined up then take a few steps forward then a few steps back and try side stepping and talk out loud either with a song or to one's self while doing with,

Good night Julia, Greville constantine from Trinidad & Tobago. Thank u for your video on being HSP. I think i am HSP too, in that whenever my wife ( who is Narciccistic) have a spat, i tend to talk to myself when i am alone and vent all of my frustration. Because of how cruel she judges me to be too sofy natured and not tough enough. However, when i keep silence and think about this situation, i realise it is just a part of life i have to endure until : 1) i can change my life situation & not stay in the marriage due to her controlling ways: 2) i sometimes offer encouragement to others who are either going thru a rough patch like i am, or discover they are highly sensitive like me, so i am Not Alone in my situations. Do you have a,webpage where i can continue to follow your advice, or where we can communicate one on one? Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!❤❤

" Being highly sensitive , means that your senses are more sensitive .." I really cant let you get away with this verbal rubbish you put out without thinking. Youre senses are Touch, Taste , Sight , Smell and Hearing. You are talking about your inner feelings that have no bearing on your senses , The first sentence you say clearly means you are on a journey to confuse people. Listen , the English language is not haphazard, it has developed over thousands of years . Words mean what we agree they mean , they absolutely do not change to mean something else , merely to justify a KZfaq video .
