Very nice video! Thank you. I would recommend earphones with ANC (=Anti Noise Cancelling).

Thank you! I was feeling very vulnerable and sensitive. I really understand your content and can relate

Love crafts but it doesn't pay bills

Understanding and listen to your body it’s very important. Understand what causes your energy drain. In my experience we have three types of exhaustion: body, mental and emotional. Mental ( it can be for all the information you are receiving, absorbing, it can be thinking too much again and again about a subject, everything about thoughts, information, etc, emotional ( it takes more time to recover, it can be due to toxic environment, due to absorbing to much negative emotions, due to interior negative emotions and feelings that needs to be transformed into positive or to be work or removed. You have to work in the negative emotion and recover the energy that has been absorbed. Emotional exhaustion means your soul is crying. Exercise, healthy diet, healthy environment, healthy lifestyle.

What was said here really hits home with me

👽 lovely, for you; A Symptom Of Being Human (Official Video), kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp6wgICBashne7s ❤

I think it's great that this episode is in Curaçao's native language, Papiamentu. I believe Elly sharing her experiences (especially on the social expectations regarding birthdays and other celebrations), will resonate with folks of the island and hearing it in Papiamentu can be extra beneficial for those on the island that are struggling to come to terms with HSP. Another great episode Shannon!

Totally annoying when things are not going well, most people are superficial phonies !

thank you for the video! i really got somthing out of it! (ik was ook zo blij dat ze nederlands is en dat ze een donkere vrouw is, dat geeft mij het gevoel dat ik niet alleen ben :) )

At 61 this finally describes what I’ve been dealing with for decades and that nobody understands this ? Unfortunately there are no tests to confirm our sensitivity level ? Or are there ?

Omgosh, I HATE exaggeration. 5!

Girl, it’s torture, isn’t it? I can relate to everything you mentioned!

Thank god u came up with this ❤

The number 1 thing is reduction of noise on all levels. I work in customer service right now. The job i felt best was a delivery job once I was there long enough to get the farther rides outside of the big city. Minimal interaction with others, my own music, some exercise (delivering over 1600 pounds worth of groceries 6/7 hour shift) and discovering some beautiful spots in my homecountry. I loved it but my body couldn’t tolerate the strain anymore at some point. Other than that it was pretty much the perfect job for me. Just driving by myself for hours on end 🥰

Hey, I just stumbled upon your channel and I rarely comment videos at all, but damn. As a male HSP this hit me like a truck. You perfectly described how I feel on daily basis, the fear of rejection/not being enough for someone you adore. I wanted to share one thing if I may. I was recently dating this extrovert girl, we've had fun together but after the last date I was so drained of energy all I wanted was going home to decompress. After that I told her that I've felt this sense being overwhelmed by her stories (she was really talking a lot 😅) and couldn't keep up with her to the point I wasn't even comprehending what she was saying to me no more. Her response was actually great, because she apologised to me, and that wasn't her intention to overwhelm me. We decided to end this and just be friends. Few weeks passed and I still think about her and things I could have done better or communicate better about my needs but every time I was doing so, I've felt like i was trying to change her personality so it could fit my needs. Damn, that was long 😅 Thank you in advance if you respond to this and have a great day 😊

An HSP Extrovert…almost seems contradictio in terminis🤔. Fijn gesprek tussen twee fijne dames. Thank you for sharing your experiences ladies.

I'm 28 and I have been HSP all my life and it is growing every now and again....

I am an hsp and I connect immediately with others who have the same trait….no explaining, just an awareness that we are similar….yoga has saved my life….many of the people in yoga class arehighly sensitive beings.

I love the new backdrop! Hope you get that spark 🔥 back.

In my mind philosophizing. Omg. So true. Where are we right?? New subscriber!!! Idk about doing something that 😱 😂😂But great video❤.

I see now, this video is one yr old…well, I still need to post a comment…I’m an HSP, and have chronic fatigue!..I didn’t discover this until I was 58yrs old that Im HSP & what that means….I’m SO Very relieved now having an answer to so many things, such as why I NEED so much sleep, why as a young pre-teen and teenager I spent vast majority of my time reading or doing crafts alone in my room. Why I get extremely nervous/anxious at large gatherings, and cannot tolerate noise. So much more realization, insight into who I am, and that I’ve been a low self esteem person my entire life Solely due to others constantly pointing out how I’m too this or too that….but now I know better. Many drs attempted to convince me I’m depressed, yet my body literally rejects ALL anti depressants…I’m female, and have had hormone issues(OF COURSE)…and have experience normal life stresses, but I’ve always felt so, hmmm, I guess, like such as worthless loser because I feel things so deeply. I had to delete facbook account about 6years ago now> it made me so frustrated, people would say such mean things to me> so I felt rejected. I’m A VERY DEEP analytical thinker, and people would say like, “not everything’s a conspiracy theory”, and I’d be taken for a loop by that, didn’t get why they’d say that. I’d be mis understood, as when I speak, I provide lots of info and it’s so important to be right so that they can learn from what I’ve pre-chosen to say…but due to my providing TOO much, I’d lose their interest…honestly it’s them who’s selfishness causes attention deficit.

Congrats on this e-Course Shannon! 🔥

Hi Shannon, l can remember back to being 4yrs of age, l was different! Remember watching news, films, musicians, anything that triggered my emotions l wanted to cry! I ended up hiding, concealing my tears l wanted to shed, because no one else ( parents, siblings, visitors), were affected by what l was witnessing. Ended up having to build a wall to stop me from being so sensitive, which was torturous throughout my life. Have an awareness of knowing if someone is trying to fool me, becoming easier as l get older. Have great intuition, gut feelings, re-living past encounters with people, when l was duped. It has been a tough journey, but now l see what l thought were flaws in me, were my superpower, which l was unaware of at the time. Thank you for being you,( love your content and personality),and enlightening the world on this strange God given gift/ curse? Peace and love to all Empaths& Hsps❤

I just realized that I’m a HSP at 35 years old, and now I’m devouring everything I can to learn about it. I’ve NEVER felt so understood and seen in my life! I never knew there was a name for how I feel, and I’ve tried to explain it to others to little avail. Knowing that there are so many others like me is CRAZY!!!!!! (In a good way). I don’t feel so isolated. Thank you!!! 🙏

Loving these videos, great tips

I love your videos! Thanks so much for creating them. 😊

I just came across your channel while I was looking for solutions to sensitive sleep and suddenly I don't know but everything you say relates to me. Today I discovered that this is an issue with others as well, because I didn't know of anyone with sensitivity of an extent to mine. It really bothers me - keeps me thinking if I am unable to settle in home environment (I am student presently), how the heck will I be able to adjust to challenges that come in out-of-home situations. I can't emphasize how much 'silly things' squeeze me within. They hit back in some way or the other and at the end it seems that maybe I am still very childish, immature and selfish. Hearing everything same from someone else is a relaxing dose in itself. Thank you for sharing everything with no or minimal filters. Appears as if accepting, adjusting and calming our thoughts is the way to proceed. Atleast I will (probably) no longer be ashamed and under-confident due to sensitivity. So, Thanks a lot.

This life is so exhausting for hsps.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts I can relate to a lot of what you said.

Shine your light 4ever❤

Felt this❤

I would say you have a peculiar 'set of skills', not 'limitations'😉. I believe if someone builds a café with comfortable nooks and corners, soothing BACKGROUND music (emphasis on the BACKGROUND), ambiance lighting, nice coffees and teas (and perhaps some nice pastries), THEY WILL COME! (to quote a cheesy line from Field of Dreams...if you build it, they will come!)...and trust me, ain't just an HSP thing. Hope you are otherwise doing well and that you will share the pictures!

This is so crazy I was drinking alcohol to fall asleep for a very long time and I didn't know it was related to being an HSP. I have been sober for a few years now and haven't been able to sleep at night... it has just occurred to me that I have to start considering what it means to be an HSP because I have been ignoring it. I related so much to what you said. I think I will have to have like a 2 hour sitting in silence to calm down before even thinking about sleeping OMG lol. Often I am meditating before bed and it actually wakes me up. But at least I have some things to consider and I am not alone :) Thank you for the video!

this literally just helped me understand my sexual relationship with my wife. Why initiating sex is so difficult...why it's hard for me to get into sex if she's not into it; I can read it in her face, and I instantly am no longer in the mood. when you explained how effing cosmic an orgasm is. "spiritual transcendence" and "reaching new depths of existence", crying because of the intensity of emotion...I 100% vibe with that.

Teaching is increasingly a bad job for HSP's since people are increasingly disconnected from their own feelings & addicted to technology. What HSP would willingly go into a group of emotionally stunted people?!?

I remember at one point in my life i was so obssesed with the mills and boon romance novels not for the sex but for the fantasy of the romantic stories especially at a time in my life when i was in such a loveless relationship

This woman spoke to my soul so much of what she said resonated with me especially the part about desensitised when partner is going too and feeling very rough 😢😢

My partner has zero interest in slowing down... I spent so much time cut from my own feelings, to please him, but what I need seems to be too much to ask for. I stopped this part of the relationship, and I hope one day I can encounter someone I can really share this part of myself with

Thank you for this Shannon and how fortunate that these days you have a platform to address these issues.....the world is NOT kind to us and it is a struggle to thrive in it. I am a a69 years young HSP, introvert, empath and have been criticized all my life, in school and the workplace for not speaking out/contributing more often. Its nigh impossible and very often ends up being embarrassing and consequently we tend to withdraw even more at times. I have a lot say but almost always 24 hours or more later as you alluded to and have been accused of "not letting things go" and " keeping an argument going" because I cannot think of something to say in the heat of the moment. Workplaces need to offer us a way to share ideas and communicate that works for us and stop trying to make us fit the extrovert idea of how we should be, your idea of an email or message after is one solution. There are a lot of us out there and it is time we were acknowledged......we are not damaged goods, just different than the "norm".

Hi Shannon! Everything you spoke about was on point. I often pause and reflect on the words I want to use when I'm having a conversation People tend to see that as an opportunity to change the topic or interject without letting me finish my thoughts. It is easier to remain quiet because trying to be heard feels like a fight to be recognized. I have told many people about being a HSP and most people dismiss and don't recognize it as personality trait. I was wondering if you've experienced this too. I've always felt different and now sometimes when people are dismissive I feel irrelevant. Being an HSP is always a challenge! Thank you for trying to reach out and share what it's like for us.

🤘=🎸 🤟=❤ 🐨🐵🦉🦘

Did you drink because you hated yourself as HSP ?

Jesus😂 now I know why I went to brazil at the age of 14 tl serenade a girl i was love with😂😂😂

Happy Holidays 🎄🤗

She sounds like Paula from brawl stars
