I'm pretty sure EVERYONE needs these things, but I think over-sensitivity is seriously limiting human common sense these days!

[@QuietlyMagnetic]

As an introvert, sometimes I think I need a spare heart to feel all the things I feel. Whether that’s joy and fulfilment or anger and rage.

[@Psych2go]

A spare heart is a good analogy. Do you currently journal?

[@cabarettaximan6592]

Yeah, my heart gets so filled up with emotion easily it feels like a waterballoon about to burst X(

[@MisSuperghina]

For me having contact with nature (indoor plants, outdoor garden, walks into the woods) is fundamental for my mental and physical health and well-being.

[@shelbyfletcher3763]

I got up the courage to defend my sensitivity the other day when my boyfriend expressed that he felt that I cry over ridiculous things. Keep in mind I cry “happy tears” pretty often. I explained to him that I feel hurt when he says that to me, because it feels invalidating. I told him that I’m able to feel and process my emotions when and where I feel them, and that I’ve worked hard to get to this point. I told him it was a part of who I am, and that if he truly loved me, he could accept that without judgement. So to my fellow sensitive amigos, STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. People forget that with increased sensitivity, comes increased emotions-ESPECIALLY LOVE. LOVE YOURSELF enough to defend yourself when you are being wronged. You are a superhero of feelings and your power is PASSION OF EMOTION! ❤️ Stay strong, you’ve got this darling.

[@judipierry549]

Maybe he is one of those ridiculous things. Try pointing that out if he says something like that again. 🙄

[@waltbroedner4754]

You may be reading to much at his response. Maybe all it was, was just an observation, like thinking out loud. The real question which you asked is, does he love you? It is not really worth it to shed tears over it, next time if he does it again, just slap him, he will then get the message. Maybe he will cry then.

[@LeonorCorteRealll]

For me, walking is one of the greatest remedies to feeling overwhelmed. I realize I take in a lot of what is going on around me. As I observe other people's emotions, I make them my own. Having a short walk makes me mindful of my energy and also my breath, while observing the peaceful nature. It helps me let go of all the things I've been feeling and taking in.

[@strawverymilktae1280]

Honestly same, that is why my dad takes me on walks,and when I feel overwhelmed, I ask dad to walk outside with him and just talk or walk together silently

[@susangrande8142]

Walking also helps remind you that are are in a physical body, and that helps you stay present in the moment, and remove the mental/emotional inputs from first place in your attention. In other words, the physical movement takes most of your attention, so the mental/emotional inputs take a back seat.

Secrets to surviving a highly sensitive life. 1) Get enough sleep. 2) Eat healthy foods regularly throughout the day. 3) Wear noise-reducing headphones. 4) Plan for decompression time. 5) Have at least one quiet room or space to retreat to in your home. 6) Give yourself time and space to get things done.👍

[@Zoe_EK]

Another tip from a fellow HSP: make sure you regularly check in with your emotions as some HSP tend to suppress them involuntarily because they are so strong. Just let them out completely to process them entirely every once in a while! For me it helps to have a deep talk with someone that you trust where you can comfortably allow all emotions to resurface! Then talk through them👍🏼 Having another person by my side always helps me to detangle all emotions and rationalise my responses☺️

Oh yeah, I’ve got a bad habit of suppressing negative emotions, sometimes even for MONTHS just to avoid hurting someone’s feelings

[@hoorayitsjackie6166]

I explained to a psychiatrist that I had a hard time eating in restaurants and being at parties, and I just said I can FEEL lights and sounds and get overwhelmed easily just being out in the world sometimes. even someone speaking loudly upsets me because it feels like they’re yelling. She taught me about being an HSP and got me books to read. I told her once I’d rather be fragile like a flower instead of fragile like a bomb and she told me actually like an orchid, hard to keep alive, because the smallest change in water, temp, light, whatever and I start to wilt. Haha. She’s not wrong.

I'm wondering if there are HSP's who are only highly sensitive to only positive or only negative emotions.

[@arpitkumar4525]

Not necessarily. I am bad at expressing emotions. Bad at empathising with other's emotions cause I overanalyze it ad try to solve it. But I experience emotions in my own way to a very strong degree. But again I might not be an HSP. I have not been diagnosed. But I am very sensitive. Are you an HSP?

[@Jorg-ug3ie]

[@aliciamo8358]

It's so hard being an HSP sometimes. I get consistently told not to cry or 'Why are so emotional? Just calm down." I hate it whenever someone is yelling at me, I get scared and start to break into a cry. I remember I was watching a World War 2 survivor tell his story, and I broke down into tears. I really enjoy being by myself with my favorite stuff animal. I love being with people who understand how I feel and think.

[@joannaedwards6325]

Geeze! I cry at Hallmark greeting card commercials. 😊😢

[@ImSimplyAHuman]

I am the same way. I once told a psychiatrist that I was too emotional… And when he asked what I meant I said “well, I watched a video called “The 50 most moving photos of the year... and basically cried 50 times” 🤷🏼‍♀️ His response was priceless. He said, “well that’s the difference between you and I. I would know a video like that was trying to elicit an emotional response, and if I was not in the mood to feel that way, I would not watch it. And in fact, I usually don’t watch things like that” Touché 🤣 now I am careful about what content I watch, and mindful to ask myself “is that what I want to feel right now“ 👌🏼

[@cassidydrennen8179]

I’m an HSP and I literally have an Elaine Aron book on my nightstand right now. I want to add that being sensitive isn’t a weakness, it is a deeper way of being. It is understanding unseen things where others don’t and on a deeper level. This usually causes a separate or even lonely feeling, b/c non HSPs have a hard time understanding our complex brains. So taking time to really understand and love ourselves is the most crucial thing, like through self expression. We are different and unique and intensely so!! It’s exciting and overwhelming, so the better u can love who u are and understand who that is, the more likely u are to love the world around u with all of its faults in mind. Like right now, I’m expressing myself after watching a vid that touched me. I think the world needs people who are willing to be sensitive shamelessly. I want to live my life proud of being who I am, sensitivity and all!! ❤️ That’s all I have to say. (I just realized how long this is) ;)

Try to spend as little time on your phone as possible during the day. 4 you can do relaxation breathing exercises 😍 believe me I did that in the afternoon after school and was as zen as a feather haha, you can look it up on KZbin or breathe in and out yourself (: 5 keep your room neat and orderly.

I do feel sometimes it is a curse, but I've learned no matter how bad my day is it will be worse iif I keep a negative attitude. If I try to keep a positive attitude most days it's not so bad. But if I wake up in a bad way, then it's going to be a not so great day. Try to stay on the positive end me it's alot harder for me to always stay positive, my life in general is stupid.

As an HSP going through teenage, I can tell it's really hard to let go of someone you love more than yourself. And people just say stuff like I am so naive and vulnerable. I overthink. And since I am an introvert betrayed by my own best friend, I really have problems relying on people for good. The wounds of the betrayal are fresh and the blood is not going to clot. And it had been 3 years since it all happened. And due to this reason I crave for love. I just want a soulmate who is an HSP too, but an extrovert. So that he can make me feel safe and persuade me to open up. Opening up is a stuff I am the most reluctant to do. And when I feel like my pain is eating me from my insides, and I can't open up to anyone, I can't even utter a word. My stomach contracts and I feel uneasy. I just go to the bathroom to cry alone, because crying alone in selfdom is the best way out.

I’m highly sensitive person with a disability of a mild case of Di George syndrome, and thank you 🙏 for this video! This is definitely sounds like me. Also I recommend stop being friends with people who talks you down. Like everything is your fault. I had a hard time trying to say No to a friend, and I finally was able to say no; and I got yelled at by my friend. Also someone who talks to you in a harsh tone is a big one as well. So finding supporting friends are very important for highly sensitive people. We are all people pleasers

[@merry-lynnallison3002]

Being a highly sensitive person all my life I have learned to stay away from people who lie, I can actually tell when someone isn't telling the truth. Also stay away from people who smoke, drink or do drugs of any kind because even spending a short time with them you WILL absorb their negative energy. Simply live your life filled with peace, good books and quiet compassionate people. Took me over 20 years to learn that.

[@samantha8578]

Therapy. She says it in the book and she couldn't be more right - it helps immensely building that toolkit of coping skills. The second thing that helps me be happy I recommend to any and all HSPs - read Elaine Aron's book. I heard about HSPs through this channel and it took me a long time to take it seriously and buy the book, but it's helped me hugely. The explanations of hormones, like the cortisal mentioned, the coping skills, whole chapters built to help you sort through your own life and resolve any lingering negativity about or because of your sensitivity, and so many other things. And it goes into detail in helping understand other people, those who aren't sensitive and might call us weak or party poopers or dramatic. Thank you Psych2go for doing so many videos on HSPs, this one especially is very helpful, I always get excited when I see a new one! You guys are doing good work.

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

Honestly. I just got engaged and I’m showing this to my guy. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think sometimes his frustration freaks me out because I’m very averse to confrontation, even if he’s not upset at *me,* and sometimes he’s put off a bit by my indecision. Videos like these are actually pretty helpful at understanding differences in each other and working to establish positive behaviors linked to the “problem” aspects, before it becomes a point of contention or fodder for a fight. Also knowing where our hearts are coming from, that we love and respect each other and don’t ever want to hurt each other, that goes a long long way in giving each other some grace with little missteps here and there. But the videos help!

[@DisasterMax]

@@MsViolena On one hand, there is a massive amount of solidarity, understanding, and support that you don’t often get from non-HSP’s. We instinctively understand a lot about each other and what we struggle with, and it makes the relationship much easier to navigate. Both of us have a very strong grasp of boundaries, consent, constructive (non-argumentative) conflict resolution, and the like, which creates a much healthier and more secure relationship dynamic than average. There are definitely some difficulties that come along with it, though, mostly to do with how easily we can get overwhelmed by and shut down from nominally-normal things, a mutual tendency to overanalyze body language, and differences between how we each recover from a mental shutdown. These are all likely in relationships between HSP’s, and a grasp of and deep respect for consent and boundaries is *critical* to the relationship’s success. However, we’ve been able to manage these quite well, and it’s an absolutely lovely and very happy and fulfilling relationship thus far.

[@MsViolena]

For me to feel happy is to be with my pets and singing and to be myself again. when I get overstimulated I close my eyes and erase the noise around me. The good thing for me is to be able like a child to dream and get sucked into my own little world were i have my place of peace

[@CrFouquet]

I enjoy a good walk in the woods. Only takes about 10 minutes to melt a day away. Then the rest of the walk is like being a kid again. Flipping over rocks and logs, foraging for mushrooms and other plants. I don't hunt, and the animals on a mile and a half stretch I've walked for the past 5 years know this. I see deer anytime I go in. On last Saturday morning, a single point, with velvet still on them, crossed the train tracks about 60 feet from me. Very slowly, looking at me, I even said good morning. I swear he nodded his head and just continued casually crossing. Freaking awesome. Much love to all. Go to the woods, and let nature melt away all your troubles. Breathe that fresh air, and enjoy it.

They never will be .. you can’t control who will and won’t come into your life , unless you lock yourself away from life .. you can decide who will effect you .. a toxic person doesn’t hold power over you , you hold power over them .. I’ve found accepting who they are and learning from them works for me .. that way they can’t hurt you , and your able to stay calm .. then they leave because they can’t control you and you can continue your day in peace , instead of a volcano of emotion .

[@wendyluber4309]

I am an HSP also and only discovered this about 4 months ago. Everything finally makes sense and although I learned to live with most people not understanding my sensitivities ( to others as well as myself). I never felt that there was something “wrong” with me. As a child, I deeply related to the story, “The Princess and the Pea” very sensitive to touch. That story made me feel normal and special. Certain clothes can actually feel very uncomfortable to me. I feel everything on a different level. I even became a massage therapist. I think it has helped me to understand others and be a better massage therapist. I also can sense when others are in pain, especially emotionally. Yeah, most people can on one level but I feel it radiating off of them sometimes without it being outwardly evident. I have learned to control my empathy to them and have learned when to help or not. My problem now is that I have contracted lymphedema which is an auto immune disease. Lymph nodes are damaged and the lymph fluid does not circulate well so I have to use a compression machine to get it to recirculate. This is hard enough for anyone but for me it is extremely difficult, even ay times excruciating because of my sensitivity. I am just glad that now I understand that being a HSP is different , that this sensitivity is real, ( I knew it was, but now I have proof ) and I can explain to OTs and PTs and others that it is different for me, to deal with this disease, validation at last. 5:17

[@christymckee8133]

Its sooo much more than reactivity and whats described here... Imagine for the majority of your life feeling other people around you, their energy and emotions as if they are your own, for one of many examples. When things started coming full circle for me, in my late 20's, were some of the most awesome moments of clarity and a big long list of relief and joy came over me... Once i was consciously aware of my gift(s), I began using the narcissist i married and a few others (that were there in my life for this purpose), i started honing in on myself and energy.... Its damn near impossible to lie, or hide from an empath. I can feel another person who is close to me, in relationship, and their panic attack from 55 miles away. Id call her and say LEX! BREATHE sister, calm down its going to be ok....

The needing your own space is very true, I think I am an HSP and I share a room with my little sister, and having a room that is isolated to most people is a start, but it can still get disturbed and disqualified if she walks in or is also hanging out in there, luckily I am getting my own room this August and just thinking about how I'm gonna decorate it, and what I'm gonna do with my own space makes me so happy it's become one of my favorite "activities"

According to Dr Aron’s book, I am an HSP. I recommend reading her book, Highly Sensitive Person and take her little test. Also, a book that really helped me way before Dr. Aron came on the scene; is Drama of the Gifted Child. I think many HSPs would resonate with this book. Author: Alice Miller.

When in a good mood, feeling loved, positive, joyful, silly, etc - I find myself dancing around the house a lot, just enjoying myself and whatever else I may be doing (laundry, cooking, etc). When down, sad, hurt, etc - I need some time to myself to regulate - no questions, no eyes glaring at me, etc.

Tbh I was a highly sensitive person 10 years ago. And yes I have my own space, I have also a light switch. Also personal boundaries were my biggest weakness when I try to put them in place and basically people can violate my space. Also my freedom of expression is my biggest strength. Also I have a list of coping skills, I read Comic Books. I also take too much in. But all of these things 10 years ago have improved myself as a better person.
