After 28 years of marriage, I conclude it’s all a scam.

❤ Thank you doctor

I appreciate this so much and I loved the poem Dr. Elaine Aron shared at the end, "The Way It Is" by William Stafford.

Thank you

I have thought about experiences with my past and just finding out about HSP today. I wonder if my self medication over the years were because i was trying to numb this? I wonder if that's the similar issue with half the other addicts. As I've had 3 friends who died from overdoses who were very similar to me and my traits. In iver 38 years I've never felt more understood by anyone more than those 3 friends.

Thank you so much Mrs Aron for your research. I have come to realise that I am really a HSP, as I am constantly exhausted and my psychotherapist and my medical masseuse made me more aware of the fact. I am working as a teacher in middle school, so overstimulation is a huge topic for me. And I am extravert and do dramas with my students. I am very glad to have found colleagues who are HSPs, we have connected very fast and deeply. Just wanted to mention, that as a result of overstimulation, traumatas and exhaution irritable bowel syndrome has got me in its grip since childhood... It is very difficult for me as an extravert to communicate that I need peace and quiet, even to my husband.

I have spent my life ,all 60 years trying to find the right shoes .I have worn many pairs trying to find the ones that made sense .Then one day ,I open a u tube video titled are you a highly sensitive person and suddenly the shoes were a perfect fit. You have defined my life and have answered so many questions and have clarified so much for me .I am forever grateful to you for this amazing gift ......

I'm a super hsp. I'm also the kind of hsp that needs to be out there. But having both causes me so much anxiety. So I tend to have anxiety if I'm alone or out there.. I'm an older pioneer to your book. I read it as soon as it was available. I cried and totally agreed to it except the part of escape to be alone. I'm not a avid reader either.. I'm an artist, having to create and more create. But my hs nervous system keeps me from doing that anymore.Thank you so much for your work!!!

How can s highly sensitive person focus in college? Asking for myself. I want to obtain my Master's in Linguistics but I keep taking a break from school every other semester because my experiences with people can become overwhelming and emotionally draining.

6:15 decreases as you work on childhood issues 9:03 highly creative, sweet, empathetic 9:17 they don't meet their own needs 43:46 self-compassion, we want to have 45:46 it's arousal, not anxiety 46:34 how to improve: over prepare, repeat exposure 48:27 importance of downtime

Dr Aron's theory has amazing explanatory and predictive power with psychotherapy clients. A staggering number of clients are HSPs and need to be treated as such. It has been a breakthrough in my practice.

Thank Elaine for making sense of my weirdness to me. I was at the verge of becoming mad and all relationships in my life were in danger but thanks to your research work now I know what went wrong and how to improve. Is there a close community or a group for Highly Sensitive people that I could join because I need a support group who process things like me.

Just ordered your book ( the anniversary addition) from Amazon - excited to have a better Loving Understanding of these Family members ❤.

Very insightful, thank you. I do wonder who might be 'the sensitive' as we somehow have to reassure the other that it is nothing about them....

What's the name of your new book?

<3 Thank you

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️💐💐💐♥️♥️♥️

44:30 Elaine on HSP on how to manage ones predisposition to high arousal as a highly sensitive person 45:40 "understand it's arousal not anxiety" .'prepare' 'seek criticism/review' "prepare for the unexpected" the importance of doing/the importance of purpose'.. .. 'TM importance/benefits' "

41:47 Elaine's shortlist of recommendations for HSPs to manage a non sensitive world.

Dr Elaine Aron’s book provided me a significant amount of comfort and validation, I felt seen and understood. I’m going through a divorce, my soon to be ex leaving me because I am “too sick for him”. He shamed and blamed me for exaggerating things, or simply being lazy when I would need to isolate and rest. As a HSP I have tons of allergies, light asthma and I’m highly sensitive to noises, vibrations… But when I finished the book, I realized that now I will focus on building my self- esteem that my soon to be ex crushed and will reframe my life in terms of my sensitivities. I want to lead a life that suited to my sensitivities. About to start her second book “the highly sensitive person in love” ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ So grateful i found Dr Aron’s books 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I believe HSP are more capable of discerning what is the truth and what is not... So they were able to navigate better through the plandemic. Also they don't watch teli so much... And don't believe all the bullshit... So, they are less likely to be manipulated by the media, the government, big pharma, the WHO, the WEF....

HSP is in reality Autism. What this lady has described here is 100% characteristics of Autistic traits.

Love the quote: sensitive parents should role model/ be sensitive leaders. Learning to say no and take care of ourselves might help others take it easier as well

Self care is so important for all parents

0:43 D.O.E.S. Depth of processing | Overstimulation | Emotional Responsiveness / Empathy | Sensitive to subtle stimuli

Seems to me you are describing many many people perhaps a big portion of the population….after all how do you decide you are that different than the majority or anymore sensitive than the majority?

INFJ, HSP, higher sensation seeker. I think i'm more ambiverted.

HSP = DOES Depth of processing is the most important trait. Overstimulated easily. Emotional responsiveness. Sensitive to subtle stimuli. -> HSPs need more downtime.

I’ve always tried to put on a tough image & disguise the fact that I’m a HSP. I guess for me, I see it as a weakness. However, it’s been difficult at times to hide my emotions & as a result I’ll attempt to explain my sensitivity to others in an effort to help them understand. Most people don’t understand & will tell me I’m complaining, while others are more sympathetic to my feelings. For the people who don’t understand, or don’t care to understand, It’s a different story. It’s almost like they’ll go out of their way to hurt me because they know I’m vulnerable. Also, when I address what is said, they either play stupid & refuse to admit to their remarks or they tell me they’re sorry I feel a certain way but that they’re not going to tiptoe around me. This only makes things worse, & in turn I’ll distance myself from these people. It’s a vicious cycle. I wish I had thick skin or I could let negative words roll off, but unfortunately it’s not that easy. 😔

Is there any way to make it less debilitating. I over think everything and blame myself for everything and constantly live in the past. It is exhausting! 😢

Respectfully, I have suggestions to add to the quiz. These have been lifelong for me. 1. Difficulty falling asleep. 2. Great distress seeing animals injured or killed.

I feel my sensitive nature has been abrasive to some in the past, coming off even as a social awkwardness not knowing that the kind of questions I raise do from time to time make people bewildered or overwhelmed at me asking so many questions. I think thats the most it’s affected others in a negative way that I can think of. I think for me it’s been a great thing but now that I know I have it I fear people can tell right away and that makes me vulnerable to people from the first conversation…

Thank you thank you thank you for you, you have made me believe in myself. 💜💜💜💜💜

You know, this isn’t just good for romantic relationships, this is good for anyone. Friends, family you don’t see often or even family you do see often. I found this helpful. Thank you!

Hi Elaine I bought your book way back in the nineties Very good

It is a balm to understand that my high sensitivity, empathy, need for daily silence, passion for the arts and nature, anxiety, overstimulation, tiredness, etc., has an explanation. My eternal gratitude Dr Aron, God bless you immensely. Ps: I met a highly sensitive person and clearly saw our similarities, but he didn't.🥺 But everyone has their moment of self-knowledge and it's ok. Eternal gratitude!!! Kátia Storch - Brazil 🙏🇧🇷 ❤

I just told my wife, you know I am HSP. She say's, I don't know with you, but its like I'm walking on egg shells with you😢

I've not read the book yet or done any research (but I'm keen to). I'm just thinking it sounds a lot like autism traits to me, but can anybody tell me is it different to that? Or was HSP discovered before aspergers autism, back in the days when people thought being autistic meant the more severe non verbal type, rather than the invisible type where many highly sensitive autistic ppl end up masking.

I love it to love someone

After reading Elaine Aron's book which was kindly given to me by my lovely partner, who realised and helped me to find out why I was, the way I was. I was so relieved and happy to be Named, Tagged, Compartmentalised as an HSP. Thank you Elaine, it's nice to be able to reference your book to give credence to our GIFT!

High Sensitive Society...I'm floored, as someone that just discovered who/what i am and finding out there are communities out there 👏🏾

Thank you so much for this information. The worst is when you spend half of your life suffering because not even you or people around you knew you are a HSP. So we are the “ weirdos “ judging ourselves

Thank you 🙏
