Sooooo true! I often say my being here was some kind of mistake in paperwork

Or maybe we are on a mission.

Its all about sensing the god and why he created as. And after i discovered islam i relax and lived happy

true true! Sometimes I feel like I need to be somewhere totally different! Sometimes I ask myself why am I like this?

I keep saying “Im not supposed to be here, this is a mistake…”

I can relate so much to this.

So true me too

Same here and I’m 62 yo

Shut up

Chanandler Bong me ttoo

U are a great man for cherishing her and ur love for her will come back at a ten fold

She's just being a female. They're all that way.

I'm a HSP and my husband has same experience. Glad we glow up together 😊

God Bless you 😁❤️

What is the patience for?

Beautiful. I hope more people read your comment.

Death is numb. Life is sensitive.

ha ha! right on!!

Period

You are smart

Niiice. Haha!

❤️

Naomi Cugini I am sitting next to my sleeping partner in our dark bedroom at 2a.m. trying to sob as quietly as possible with that same realization. It was especially poignant as I just spent an exhausting week of over thinking, trying to explain how/why I felt the way I do and starting to think maybe I really am as bonkers as some people think. In my heart I knew I wasn't though, and now I see it too. We have found the others.

heeey! xD

me too :)

Omg I want to name my daughter Naomi what a pretty name !

It's a nice feeling, especially since as HSP I felt no other mental illness/ diagnosis fit my description. I think that's what made it so hard for me to figure out I'm HSP, it's not a mental illness yet I was led to believe I might possibly have mental health issues because my hypersensitivity can lead me to experience symptoms of depression, paranoia, and anxiety all at different times. It's such a nice feeling when you get to realise that you aren't handicapped, you are just different thus our HSP coping mechanisms need to be nurtured in different ways to that of regular society. Also on a side note I'm not upset about finding out I'm just human. Kind of leads me to believe everyone else is just robots not gonna lie lol.

Having a bad day or being sad is okay. Just don't let it drown you, but everyone sometimes has a bad day, or even a bad week. There's nothing wrong with that. Take the time to recover and treat yourself with the kindness you also give to others.

I always had the problem of having to get up and walk out.

Nope.

they'll never do that - money and HSPs don't coalign

Consider there are changes in the middle ground and non profit side, very often it is the changed that bring that to their work and after these two years, I believe we are interested in change in every place 🍶

I like this. Awesome comment. True 👍

Haha if only.

Exactly! 👏

😢😥😰

Oooo

I grew up with a Mom telling me that.

When you brutally tell someone that they are too sensitive, it is a judgemental statement saying that person isn’t good enough and that they should change, which is really difficult to do and to hear. You really don’t feel accepted at all when you hear that haha. There are better ways to help people and build them up I think, because that only tears a person down. I grew up hearing that I was “too nice”, what is that even supposed to mean I thought. Why couldn’t others try to be nicer, why should I have to change? But I was pretty naive and people took advantage of me being nice, so I’m glad that I’m not overly trusting anymore! But hearing that wasn’t helpful at all, it was life that taught me, not people always telling me that I was “too much”, that was only hurtful to hear...

refreshing, isn't it!?

@@nwwoman525 very much so!

section is full of pussies

maybe we should keep in touch! :)

LOL! it really does. I think that says all that needs be said about HSP's being better than normies...IJS...there's not a lot of youtube videos where you can read a full page without at least 10 insults. lol

this is so heartwarming...

you're a fantastic teacher

I wish I had a teacher like you growing up

I am an HSP and I pray to have someone who understands me and that student is so lucky that he had got a person who is his own teacher to share his feelings.

I agree this 10000%. This is so true and correct

The other prize we pay is loneliness, I always think off God and Jesus it helps a lot it always brings me back to being accepted as me to my true core so I stand my ground, I can't change myself for what I stand your core values that comes from whit in yes I'm seriously sensitive and we need a whole lot more of sensitive people, and for many out there if you fall off the horse clime back on and don't look to much back just ones in a while keep strong go stronger

😢

Righttr

Wow, right on, I totally agree with your comment.

mire like curse... at least for me...

Exactly.

Not much different when you're a girl. I cried while doing a speech at my cousin's wedding lol 😄😑. Embarrassing

I feel you

Brandon Lease I am like that too .. people do not understand that it is out of how passionate you are about some thing but they read is weakness ... eventually I stoped arguing with people

Well I have the opposite; I can feel as bad as anything. I could be sitting in the corner, rocking back and forth, wanting to kill myself, and I will NOT cry. This is not a choice, this is my life. And believe me, it's not all it's cracked up to be. Nobody ever takes me seriously. I might say to someone "I feel really really terrible right now" and they'll say "oh, can I help you?" and then I'll look at them and smile involuntarily, and they'll kind of pretend to listen to whatever I say (generally something along the lines of "I hate myself"), give some sort of useless piece of advice (like maybe, "think about something else") and move on. Meanwhile, here I am, losing faith in humanity and desperately, desperately needing someone to help me. I wish I DID cry. You guys have it a lot better than you think.

Which isn't to say that your struggles aren't valid - just, be careful what you pray for

"to man up" is so toxic. (i'm asian female)

Hi I am very sensitive to light too. I get migraines a lot, you could look into sunglasses that sort of tone it down in stores. It's helped me out a lot everywhere I go. I use them at school and at work too lately and if you pick the right model you could jokingly play it off as being cool or trying to look like a secret agent, it's been my go to joke for a while. You also don't need to man up, you're good the way you are.

Yes, for boys especially (speaking as Southeast Asian & American) this is important. My son is 13 and he thinks deep and has intense feelings too. I want him to learn to express himself in the right way instead of keeping it all inside and then spiraling into a grumpy/teary fit at night. Men generally have it harder with stereotypes around emotions and manliness. For any fathers reading this, remember that your impact on your children (sons especially) has a boomerang effect back to you. You show your emotions and tears and joys so your kids learn how to be human and compassionate, expressive and supportive in good ways; and fathers, you get the benefit of deeper connections with your family, better sensitivity to your kids' emotions and needs, and a lighter heart to be strong for your loved ones.

"Only connect." E.M. Forster The deep urge to connect has driven my life since very early childhood. When I saw Forster's statement on the first page of his book Howard's End I understood myself for the first time.

Hit me like a brick Ouch

And right wrongs.

THIS.

@@elenalatici9568 I feel the same, but the lack of connection, or the failure of connection is so distressing. I also wonder if many HSPs ended up as English majors. Reading and discussing great literature in college was like heaven for me.

selenator gomez omg yes!

Sooo true

I have this problem terribly. And that's why I hate confrontation more than anything. Unfortunately people don't understand, even my parents, who get bothered when I don't like to talk in arguments. But if I do I just cry

My angry, controlling, manipulative, abusive ex-husband always liked to tell at me and call me crazy and tell other people that I am crazy but I realized that crying about the horrible treatment of myself and our young son would be a reaction out of a sane person. He knew I was very forgiving, deep feeling, strong loving person who is sensitive to the feelings of everyone they encounter but could not get the same thing from my own husband for me.

@@deelove2793 I am very very very happy that you had the strength and the courage to stand up for yourself and leave. I applaud you and wish nothing but the best for you! GOD bless you and your son!

I feel the same when i watch the video.

me too

So geht es mir bei vielen hsp Videos. Ich werde nie vergessen als mir klar wurde wieso ich so bin wie ich bin es war einer der emotionalsten Momente in meinem Leben. Hoffe dir geht es gut bleib stark!

Hsp introvert ppl are called cruel selfish ones by their narcissistic or extroverted families

💗💗💗💗

energy healers? explain please :)!

I think I've just found the right video x) I mean, I've been saying that sensitive (plus, logical & fair) ppl will be the ones who'll "save" this world, because they simply are the ones who care enough to do it! That leads me to mentioning my ultimate dream, of somehow making all these ppl unite (at least on the internet) and start acting on our ideas of a better, more balanced society... Scattered as we are, we can't change much, imo. If we gathered up, more would follow and true positive change would become less and less unrealistic (hint: war and its chaos being the only thing that can stop it).

"We are the gifted ones" Oh woooooooww. Modest, aren't ya?

Susan Peters trust me

Stella R. HSPs/Empaths. We feel the energy around us, we feel people’s energies and emotions and have a deep empathy and understanding of people’s pains and problems. We have been gifted by God/Universe to heal other people on this planet, because the world is in need of healing and enlightenment. We are on the verge of a new world and we are the ones that will bring it.

Thank you

Oh, thank you!!! :)

That is very kind, I'm glad you are here. many thanks.❤️

We are necessary

I can relate to this so much omg

Damn, I relate too much. And that's why I don't wanna get mad at anyone in the first place.

You are adorable!!!

I feel you 😄

i know that feeling XD and im a man

Oh, yes. Too bloody right. Especially the three last ones.

My bf is a HSP. I am reading and watching video about this, because I want to understand. Not surprisingly, he is an artist and schoolteacher of art. I have learned much from this video; I think this is more difficult on a man. There is a place in the world for gentle people and the blessing they are to those who love them.

@@Briselance Yup

Yes exactly.

Love that

Live how you like to live my dear. Because others are just, people. People who don’t understand you, they are strangers. Strangers, we can ignore. 祝福您

And how many here, actually have that gotten it diagnosed by a neurologist, maybe decades ago, and think it's basically a term for, "not harmful, shrugs, whatever"? lmao

💖

Hi

Hi!!!

Hello😻

Completely, I don't think most of us will ever get the same in return. But I know personally it won't stop me from loving as much as I do. I know because I tried to grow cold hearted, it was impossible and frustrating.

Me too💌

exactly

Omg 😂😂😂 so true

Hahaha love it!!

I hear u. I often get yelled at for giving all my money to strangers or letting ppl i barely know live w me for free in a small 1 bwdroom apt until they're ok.

@@karencarney7595 I feel you on that. I once brought home a mother and her 2 kids. Fed them, let them shower and stay the night. I drove her around town finding resources. Finally found a woman's shelter for them. Never saw them again. Other times I've given our sleeping bags away and made hygiene bags. I could go on and on lol. No matter what I'll always have a big heart to help others.

omg same

same i used to search things like be emotionless cause no one ever validated my feelings not even my mom lol

Me too

😅😅😅 so relatable

Im thinking about getting the book "the art of not giving af"...being an emotional empath can be so overwhelming it makes me physically sick.ik good and well ima read the book and be the same sensitive person i was before i read it.wish i knew how to not absorb all the energy i come in contact with.mostly bad energy....

and always remember that you’re not alone

Lendri , I’ve spent my whole life trying to “Man Up”. My dad told me the world would crush someone like me. A softy. The more I tried to suppress who I was, the more depressed I became. Speak your truth. Your beautiful the way you/we are.

Mark Flitz thank you for your kind words ❤️

Completely, my cousin accused me if having anti social disorder.. Quite the opposite

Definitely. Not to single out guys, but we really do have it beaten out of us, especially us Gen X guys and older. The message is always that it's not normal to feel things, especially to feel them deeply, or to be concerned about others, or to need others, and especially not to show emotion. There's so much suppressing that happens over time. I'm 45, i've been told in person I give off a strong "stay away" vibe and it's probably true. I'm not doing it intentionally, but I think it's just something that's so burned into the subconscious, we don't know how to get passed it or to "undo" it. I feel like it's getting better for younger generations, at least I hope so...we cheat people by holding them to these preconceived notions of what we're supposed to and not supposed to be.

kgbeezr75 very true

Big Mo me too. Blessing and a curse

I have a formidable intuition I don't have to. Learn some things I just know

Me too, it’s very easy to do: simply observe: the pupils, body language, corners of mouth, tilt of the head, among others. Sometimes, it’s hard to be neutral to someone you know dislikes you...

Yes

Me too

I totally agree

Can totally relate :( Be gentle on yourself. 20% of the world understand your world....

i feel the same exact way.

It’s okay, things will get better. Just like Elena said, you have a beautiful gentle gift. ^^

Voice of Humanity wow that's exactly how I feel..thank you for putting it out there...its hard when you feel so much and then the line between inspiration and duty gets mangled..we are like walking dreamers with so much love..but in a toxic environment it suffocates your beauty and perhaps the toxic environment goes inward when it's not you but the world's ugliness that hurts so much

This hit me on another level, cannot agree more. Thank you.

WHAT YOU SAID RELATED...GOOD TO KNOW NOT ALONE!

and at the same time nobody is a sponge for you

Indeed

it does ):

And you just keep taking everything in without even trying to burden others with your own issues...

I agree ... And keep only that what you need. If you don't need what you picked up, let go of it. Release it 🌬️

Literally same!!

Sending hugs your way!!

Big hug!

What is the book you mention?

I want that soooo badly!

YES

Omg yes please

Very good. I hope there is no angry person.

FRANCE. tbh

Omg yes

Yes!

💯💯💯❤️

cat lady love your username! 😻

Lynn Marie Anderson yes

I think what can happen is therapists are very focused on whatever technique they are specialized in and fail to see the big picture. CBT is all about solving problems pragmatically, so I'm not surprised it didn't work for you. As others have mentioned, I recommend working on your boundaries, try to build some emotional distance between you and others. I don't know if you've tried meditation but it might help (I have immediately taken to it and I'm HSP too. It might help soothe the hypersensitivity a bit, also connecting emotions and the physical side of the body).

Please look for body based trauma Therapy. Hsp is often also a consequence of attachment or complex trauma or hsp leads to trauma, too. You have to learn to be more in your body to manage your life better. Also you sound like you could have adhd

Me too, for clocks ticking, I change it to digital clock. I am sensitive to lightning too, because I want to icover my ears fast because of the loud Thunder sound.

I've recently come to this conclusion.... It used to sadden me, but now ive accepted its best

Yes it does help. I recently let somebody move in . Yikes been alone 7 years , should be interesting ... 😂

Careful it can lead to depression and a whole heap of other problems especially in pandemic

pffft... of course

I do not want to be isolated either. I want to be loved like I love people.

One time I had an panick attack ower my friends emotions

Praying, reading books, drawing and going to the gym also help

Energetic healing methods help you. I’m also high sensitive… call it however you want. I feel so much, deep and also the problems of other people. I work with Matrix energetics from Richard Bartlett, aura technique, 2 point healing method… As such emotional people we have to learn to protect ourselves because we get so quickly negative energy from others into our own system.

I think it's hard for many who don't understand an HSP like me, when I retreat into myself to be alone, to just be in a quiet space...especially when things are fraught. I am always at my best in a green out door space... Far from the madding crowd. All my life I've been like that (now 58) and it will always be that way. It was the same in school, in college and the work place. At times it can be extremely painful. As I live in a major city, this can be, intolerable at times. Sadly, the majority of the world don't understand the complexities of an HSP. They just think we're highly strung, or just difficult. It's precisely the fact that a non HSP's environment makes us that way, that we need to retreat to a silent place like a church for instance or just go alone to a quiet room and shut the door behind us.

@@captainvonk do you have social anxiety

I saw this video some years ago which made me realize I’m an HSP. Today I saw it again and I’m also crying, I totally feel you

Karin Larsen that’s the message we should be spreading!! Meditation has also helped me immensely

I'm 37 years old and I too have invited meditation into my life 3 years ago from the advice of a therapist and it has helped be also bring inner peace and wisdom. It's really great to see this mental health tool being practiced in schools now! ✌️

I'm on the right path ❤️😉

Beautiful, that is what im always seeking and practising now for myself too. For a long time in my life, i struggled, i did not even fit in cause i was toi different.

, yes indeed. Very much so, this information can help a lot of us growing into this and to learn to embrace it.

The thing is that everything you feel is actually real. So use it to your advantage. Hsp have actually great ability to influence other people because they get every cue!

itsjacky feel the same way :(

itsjacky I can relate to you 100%

itsjacky

have s good day

Same I'm also a HSP and struggle at maths whenever my teacher raises his voice at me Or tell me where I'm wrong in middle of the class i feel so overwhelmed and shed silent tears.

Same! If a teacher shouts at me, I cry almost immediately. But tbh, crying is much better than yelling and shouting mean words

I have always wanted to train as a counsellor, but felt I would get too emotional with clients so I didn't go down that path. How have you found it, being HSP?

ADHD & CPTSD are very similar.

i am highly sensitive and have adhd as well. if you have imfomation, studies or links you could share i'd be very gratefull !

Hud .Hud I think I am too. I feel ish I'm not supposed to feel

Hud .Hud there comes a time that you embrace yourself ♡ keep on going :)

How do we, as hsp's, deal with our families, friends and the general public when it comes to explaining OURselves? Yes, I've been told to 'toughen up', to 'get over it', to 'move on'. But my sensitivities to EVERYthing prohibits this, in a timely enough fashion for others. I get left behind.

There will be a time that you will recieve acceptence from others..the first thing what hsp people have to do is embracing themselves as beautiful and lovable people..then the rest will follow..and if not? well then you've created so much love for yourself and people that do support you, that you dont need the validation of others

Yeah, which is weird. If it is making us so exhausted how come we tend to be insomniacs. You think the mental exhaustion would knock us out.

venuspenistrap hahaha that’s hilarious

I love this! 😂

you'd need a bit of an ego already to post something like that lmao

venuspenistrap Lmao wtf

Love it :)

Thank you!! Awesome words made me feel better ❤

I think HSP's are quite susceptible to anxiety and depression. I saw some quite violent things when I was younger, which didn't affect those around me in the long term but stuck with me and are still clear in my mind to this day 15 years later

Just coming over from 3 time narcissistic abuse my life is full of stress from small age and always think is there anything that my mind so I ate 100's of sleeping pills in last 30 years living as hsp is to tough it's better to live like narcisst people . everybody like to humilate us without any cause today's world is just for masked personality like narcisst .we can't change the world but we need to change according to this wild world

Pilot Ryan and Capt. Mike RC So sadly true.

Ah I’m one of them

Another one here. INFJ, HSP.. and depression.

Let's be friends. I share your sentiment.

google empath and search different sites. It will give you more insight on being HSP. I felt the same way when I found out that I was not all alone after all.

Elizabeth Yorker me to!!!

Same here

Same 😢❤

So much makes sense. The light bulb came on!

But HSP isn’t a diagnosis, how do you explain that to a friend or potential lover? “ oh I went to my psychologist and I was diagnosed to be a highly sensitive person” lol it sounds funny. I’m the same and I know it’s a symptom of my bipolar which makes much more sense

@@NaaaaYaaaa well, something doesn’t have to be a technical “diagnosis” for you to be able to explain it to a loved one or for them to think it’s valid haha. I can explain it very easily to my loved ones and partner. Obviously most people who are HSPs will have other diagnosed mental health issues. But it’s not only a symptom of mental health issues - it’s a real thing that only about 20% of the world can be defined as. Many people probably don’t even think it’s real to begin with.

@@LWoodworth95 I had problem in my vision, My school medical check up suggested using specs My report was received by my parents but they ignored, I kept Forcing myself to believe that My eyes are not that poor, cos I feared my parents judgement if i get spectacles that what will they react , also whenevr i tell them i have prblm something they react too excited, hype or in loud voice which cause me to be more panic, also I was afraid i won't be able to win attention of my crush if i got specs, But my crush himself got spectacle prescription and i kept feeling bad for him as if it was happening to me And it even demotivated me to seek help to get specs for myself, I didn't had guts to speak out abt my poor vision to my parents out of fear of judgement and their hyper reactions and also my siblings might tease me and all Now after 10 yrs after this incident i finally carried courage to tell parents that i need to wear spectacles, my dad brought specs for me, but my mother was not allowing me to wear them thinking 'GIRLS SHOULD NOT WEAR SPECS, OTHERWISE THEY WON'T GET SOLD IN MARRIAGE MARKET' , I wasn't having guts to wear specs in front of her even if i need it 24 /7, and i was avoiding to wear specs ever again even if it cause me pain I am now in so stress that i keep sleeping to avoid debate with mummy on specs issue, have appetite issues, got ill out of stress, and am also introverted that i don't share my opinion openly and cry inside amd always sacrifice my likes Please help me how to get thru this Even little things in life become suffocating for me, that i don't feel like being alive only, i feel it was good if i never existed My whole life is deadly struggle😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

My dad would say that to me too.. sucks

yeah thats crazy its not like we can stop being so sensitive on comand

I heard " don't be so sensitive" alot, I kept thinking, people don't feel or see these same things? A therapist said, " you see things "before" other people"... They don't see it. Wow.

My dad has said this my whole life and still says it

Lol me too😢😅

Absolutely!

Agreed.. 😇🤗

This is lovely ❤️ as a girl who only dates highly sensitive guys, I completely agree!

Rudra patel 🙏

Amen!

I agree 100%! It's a falsity that being emotional is a sign of weakness & that keeping it together is a strength. Actually being present with & feeling our feelings is a massive strength, a superpower even. If everyone was able to really feel, own & accept their pain the world would be a very different place, less projections (wars, violence, etc.). ... And I find vulnerability in a man to be incredibly attractive! Good for you for being able to be your true self in a world where men in particular get stamped down!!! 🌺

i needed to hear this. thank you

I love this comment! I feel you. I feel alone most of the time because I feel my family and friends are not as sensitive as me. I expect from them the same amount of care as I give. I felt out of place a lot of times but I’m learning to find happiness on giving without expecting the same back. I always feel different than those around me and now I know why. We got a super power 💪

Absolutely beautiful.

I really feel that, thankyou :)

Hey, I think the word you are looking for is "sociopathic", not psychotic! Psychotic just means you have hallucinations, delusions, paranoia. Sociopaths are people who may intentionally manipulate others because they feel no empathy. (I only say this because I experience psychosis and am trying to challenge the stigma and stereotypes we face every day. It starts with the language we use!)

I would have to take the word "deeply" out of a description of me, but yes, I too am proud of sensitivity. More men should be, but it's beaten out of them, and that's so sad.

Same here!!

It’s the way to be!

So am I! The first time someone told me that I am very sensitive, I actually didn’t like it... as I saw it as being “weak” - which I am not. Now like the way I am... it’s what has made me be successful in what I did for a living.

@@MsHumble4 I love your story. Now I am strong enough to live without shields, to feel and everything that happens to myself and around me in an all-encompassing way.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ha I see what u did there

Same honestly, that's something we defs dont want to let out the bag. (Best part is, they'll all think were joking, whoever reads this...)

Or secret hands holding grip

😉😂

Yep. Which fuels a sometimes crippling anxiety. For everything.

You can help yourself with dealing with insomnia if you train things, wich helps to relax your brain and body. Breathing techniques, meditation and such. With them, you can just convince your brain that you are safe and shut down the fight or flight response :) It's even scientificaly checked, that slow exhaling gives your brain a signal that it's safe, so it release hormons which relax your body. When your body is relaxed the brain relax too :) Research it and try yourself, it works

me too

Yup, just a Kasia Ko said, train meditation and stuff like that. It keeps the insomnia away on most of the nights.

I relate too to this part. My brain is always going.

Narcissists see our value better than anyone else…even ourselves. They use it against us, unfortunately, but in a terrible way their targeting of sensitive and empathic people let’s us know we are amazing

texsangie I agree! Everything is too much, too loud, in your face and obnoxious. Every advert or newspaper headline is desperate to get your attention. You’re bang on about nature healing and grounding you. Mindfulness meditations help me too, I only wish I learned this when I was younger, now, only the people I really love are the only ones who can upset me, random people’s opinion of me is none of my business. I think we ROCK!!

Great advice! If nature walks are not available, a bathroom break to run water over your hands/ splash some on you face is a nice quick rest! Water heals!

Yes I can hike for hours and hours. It so refreshing.

Staying away from toxic people is ok. Pinning away with them will not make us stronger, it’ll only make us more sick. When you’re allergic to something, you don’t expose yourself to the allergen. You avoid it. Social media, that’s our allergen. Hence we avoid it.

I describe that feeling as being "abraded". It feels like my skin and nerves have been rubbed raw.

IKR never felt tjay

Same

So I decided to stay here forever but idk how 🥺 but I want to stay no matter what, I’m gonna find how!💪

Amen! I felt the same too!

👍👍👍

relatable :( HSP + PTSD all at once.. i hope you're doing better on your side !

Is he still around that you can now explain to him it's scientifically proven and genetic? I wish mine was.... :(

I was an alien in my family of five kids, I am the only sensitive one, my parents thought there was something wrong with me, and treated poorly for it.

So aren’t HSPs the counterbalance?

Revel in the good parts. Loose yourself in the moments of ecstacy you find randomly. Don't let the negativity take control. You can always fight it back. Especially if you learn how to live in the good stuff. I've learned to love crying. Enjoy it even. I'll put on insanely sad movies that put me in tears literally just thinking about them right now. and just ball my eyes out for a full 90 minutes. And then feel like the weight of the world was lifted off me. Find those releases, the things you can do unburden your soul and sets your heart free. Find them and live in them. It will change your life.

I am HSP with axpraia and dyslexia...I ve cried so many nights in my darkened room. I only go out to get groceries, and take my dog to vet. Yet, I still don't understand why we our born to suffer if know one listen and always criticizes you...

I'm a hsp too, it is so hard sometimes. As she said, this society is sick. But there's hope. Jesus died for you and resurrected. He loves you dearly and wants to heal every wound in your soul. I couldn't have done it without Him. All the best Stacey

@@timfriday9106 "live in the good stuff" is a wonderful tip. I will certainly use it. Thanks Tim!

It's an incomplete description though: sheep usually are not that smart and follow power. I don't think that's a matching comparison.

Ditto!

@@aronhighgrove4100 Sensitive people are like cats. Do you ever notice just how crazy-sensitive cats are? They take in EVERYTHING in their environment at all times. They pick up on every subtlety, hate chaos, get easily overwhelmed, and jump at unexpected noises (or even just if there's suddenly a *cucumber* behind them for that matter). They provide a gentle comfort to their loved ones that is completely different from the way dogs act. Maybe we should say "don't force a cat into wolves clothing"?

@@aronhighgrove4100 True, with the exception of Shaun. But the point is still understood.

Me too.

Same! Like it has downsides but oh boy are it's upsides compared to none!

YES, tiring, I feel quickly drained by aggressive, loud people or events and have to literally "escape" to be alone and quiet to recover. One of these acquaintances saw me one time sitting alone on the bench by the sea and shouted: what are you doing sitting like that??? I should have said :running away from you, but what shocked by the absurdity of the question

It is no measure of health either to be swarmed up by negativity. It not any healthy not to be able to master your own emotion, and know when you must be in control.

But if so you can be elected President.

Hooooray

Kristy Mounsey sending you lots of love. It’s not easy being this way and being abused or having a traumatic situation. Know you are loved. Sending you a big hug. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Love you kristy

You just need to learn how to ground, center and shield yourself before going out in public.

Yes, sadly there are those in the world that prey on our "weakness". They take advantage of our kindness and caring nature and use it to their advantage.

I am sending you a virtual hug. 🤗🤗🤗 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍🖤🥰

I get torn apart by anyone's suffering, even if I never saw them before in my life. 🌻

I always thought everyone was like that- feeling other's pain?

Agree

This is me

Even when it’s a fictional character and I know it’s fictional, it’s still so painful, emotionally and physically

U must be an ENFP! Read about the ENFP personality from the Myer Briggs theory. Google it, trust me

i know exactly how u feel

Yes. Me in a nutshell.

I have random people that are comfortable telling me some very intimate stuff upon first meeting.

I am very charismatic initally also. Then....when unoccupied, quiet and an observer. It's complicated.
