A non-HSP talks about Highly Sensitive People

[@shinzantetsu]

If a hsp develops ptsd.... Its horrendous, it will stifle your life.

[@ingejustavanderhelm5208]

shinzantetsu, you address such a good point, thank you. Question to Kelly who hosts the podcast: I'm just new to your channel since a couple of days. Maybe you've already talked about HSP in combination with PTSD? If not, would you like to consider making a podcast about it? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thank you. Kelly, I wish you and shintantetsu both a beautiful day

Wow! This episode was different and well thought through. It's feels so good that there are some people who try to appreciate highly sensitive people even if they don't understand us. I'm so glad I came across this podcast. Thank you so much!

[@HighlySensitivePerson]

I'm glad you liked it! Yes, Al is very thoughtful and has really put a lot of consideration into trying to understand HSPs, which I appreciate about him!

[@ScaryFright]

Jealous that I cry rather than feel anger. At least people don't see anger as a weakness.

[@kaymarie8891]

When people talk about HSPs they never talk about the Ambivert HPS. They either talk about extrovert or introvert. I wish I could hear more about it. It is hard to be like that and knowing more about it will help HSPs ambiverts understand themselves better.

i have always wondered what the view of non-HSPs is. excited to listen!!

[@carinaoliveira5850]

I’m definitely an empath however on the more mild side of the spectrum. I can talk to someone about a bad situation they’ve gone through and at least hold the fort, but when it comes to criticism, issues in my life or even orderly situations where it comes out. I can cry on command pretty much, and it takes me a lot to get a situation out of my head.

I have been using probiotics to heal my stomach. By healing my stomach, is making it easier for me to deal with my HSP. Has anyone else had anything similar happen to them?

[@HighlySensitivePerson]

I have stomach issues and I'm trying to figure out what is best for me. Probiotics haven't seemed to help, but I know they have helped a lot of others. Thank you for the comment!

[@ShunyamNiketana]

I tend to be very sensitive intestinally to certain foods. I'm not a fussy eater at all, and that may be part of the problem, but even when I'm careful I can really 'react' to, say, the acid in tomato bisque soup. Probiotics helped me when nothing else would.

[@Paperbagman555]

I loved this episode in particular - what a great dynamic. So refreshing! Would you ever consider making a podcast about HSPs having moments where they behaved insensitively? Is there even such a thing for HSPs? Some would say everybody can be insensitive at times. I feel as though I'm a HSP but there's definitely moments where I tune out to those around me and forget to listen or not be as attentive as I normally am. Or how sometimes when I'm heavily sedated on drugs or alcohol I'll ego-trip and be sleazy to women (though I have worked on the last part :). These insensitive times make me grow and mature but for someone who is highly sensitive, it makes the guilt and pain a lot more intense.

[@heartfelt8907]

When you love people you love so deeply. We get alone well with others. We want to help others and are patient. I don't get my feelings hurt easily.

[@mialite7959]

Oh my Gosh..... I believe this guy ticks up towards the lack of empathy spectrum. Anti-social? Low level Narcissist? Possible brain tumor in the Empathy area. Trauma has a way of making a person sensitive, so does medication. Empathy has a neurological basis. Even mice and geese have empathy traits. So, when a human lacks empathy, There's a neurological basis, meaning a defect. Do we as humans want to live in an Empathy less world...? The super marginal gyrus is the area in the brain that has a defect. And if your a serial killer, that area is totally dead. Which is why they feel nothing when they kill. Sicker yet is the fact that the only way they can feel ANYTHING is through some one else's emotional pain. People that lack in Empathy scare the hell out of me. I steer way clear of them...........!!!

[@monicabradford8331]

Oh my gosh, I can relate to the crying during reviews and feeling total embarrassed.

[@heartfelt8907]

I don't cry easily but it there is a big problem with my closest loved ones, it's so painful I feel the emotional pay in my body. Crying is from the depth of my being.

[@Marteen40]

10:13-10:33 I feel the exact same way. I don't think your grumpy I'm far from grumpy. It makes me feel like I'm out of control. When I feel like this I find something to entertain myself. Look at the guy instead of what's he's doing. Is he cute, does he have a interesting feature, does he really enjoy this, what's his true passion then I may find myself feeling sorry for him. Then I look passed the guy to other customers behind him...I try to have a good time... I do this a lot and the pattern is usually the same unless something/someone interesting jumps out at me in these moments its a treat because I'm not looking for it. This stuff seems a lot cooler inside my head..geesh

[@heartfelt8907]

The situation at the grocery would irate anyone. Say nothing and wait or say nothing and leave.

[@heartfelt8907]

Sounds like you were close to a nervous breakdown.

[@heartfelt8907]

Thouse medications make you edgy and short of breath and shaky. When your body adjust to meds you feel better.

[@CynthiaAnn3199]

yes casinos!!! omg it's just too much for me I love Texas hold em and thank goodness it's usually in a room if it's own. so if I'm in a casino I make sure I know where the restrooms are so I can hide in a stall for a few minutes LMAO. I can't believe how weird I am sometimes

[@blazevarone2344]

Loud

[@heartfelt8907]

You must have been on too much medication to start with. That's anxiety and nerves.

[@tonywalton1052]

This dude sounds like a classic humbragger.

[@tonywalton1052]
