MY LIFE AS A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON | HSP part 1

[@SimpleHappyZen]

This video is part 1 of the HSP video series: Watch the entire series here 👉 kzbin.info/aero/PLpDAC25h6PC8v5bhadp2pKQrK_0e4sd55

Any HSP should have own earplugs. I went from it has an immidiate effect but comes with a cost that if you are unaware one can get runover by cars (too focused). Anything to minimize the stimulies.

[@الذئبالرمادي-س9د]

You are so beautiful I feel so happy when I see your features there is a connection in my personality😊 I am an HSP and also an INFJ. I suffered a lot in my life and my first childhood journey. Unfortunately, I was severely beaten by the teacher. I was 7 years old. He used the washing machine hoses in the classroom. Generally, I don’t know how much the sensitivity is, but I saved 4 people from death, of course, thanks to God, the last person I was in a police station and heard a report A woman is trying to commit suicide, and it seems that the report did not specify the location. I asked them for a white paper and drew the map. They were surprised and the officer said, “This is not the time for irony. So, intuition came out 100%. She was rescued, and I think they accused me of witchcraft.”🤗🥇

[@danikawatson3485]

Any other HSPS that have been called overly sensitive so much it feels unsafe to cry in front of family? Just want to know I’m not the only one

[@littlelistproject]

I'm an HSP too, so can relate to your experience a lot! I wish more people knew what life is like for an HSP - my husband is still learning..lol. Thank you for sharing and creating this video.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ria! I know what you mean, that's another reason why I think it's important to talk about, so people know what it's about and to get misunderstandings out of the way 😊

[@AHE1992]

It is so cosy to see that one youtuber I follow comments on a video of another youtuber I follow AND they are both HSP. I am too and I adore you both! 💖😊

Dear viewer, thank you for watching! And if you found this video helpful, please SHARE it so more people (HSP or not) can benefit from it. Have a beautiful day! 💕🌿 Love, Vera

Thank you Susanna Sue!!! Have a great day 😊🌿✌

[@mingliu3979]

I started crying to the mirror after this video... Kept saying sorry to myself for being so mean for so long time.... always felt something wrong with me. I feel so sad... I've been always told too sensitive and I tried lot of hard work to change everything, to change my self , to fix it. Then suddenly you're telling me there is nothing to change....

[@SimpleHappyZen]

So sorry to hear that but thank you for sharing your story, because I think a lot of people will be able to relate. If you want, look at some more videos from me about HSP and if it's possible for you, look into reading Dr Elaine Aron's book called The highly sensitive person. I found it very comforting to read that I was perfectly fine the way I am. And so are you! There is nothing wrong with your sensitive nature, in fact it is a very special gift that you can cherish. No need to change anything about that! Take care my friend

[@mingliu3979]

@@SimpleHappyZenReally appreciate your response Vera! And your videos are all really inspiring. I learned a lot things form them and it really helped me! Thanks again!

[@davidjohnson1654]

Just reading your post made me cry. Peace and love to you, from a fellow HSP. Embrace your gift, and it IS truly a gift. It's okay, also, to give yourself a hug, and to talk to yourself, too. I know some people might think that sounds funny, but if ANY body would "get" it, I trust that my fellow HSP peeps on here will. Besides, truth be told, I bet a lot of you already do/have-done that, haven't you? Yeah, you know who "you" are, lol. :) Peace and love. "DJ"

[@oliviabrandi5347]

When I found out I was a highly sensitive person, it was a huge wake up call for me I realized that I need to listen to myself. As soon as I started making meditation and rest and journaling a priority, I found that I can now read and connect to others so much more. Thanks for the great video, Vera! I can’t wait for the rest of the series! ❤️

[@mayamarello7525]

I had no idea this existed... I might need to go back to my doctor and ask her to help me know more about it. Thank you fo your videos!

[@robertasc.9394]

Today it's a special day to me, because I discovered that I'm part of this group too. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, finally many aspects of my life have been united in a beautiful picture called HSP. I feel tremendous relief. Love you all

[@davidjohnson1654]

Me too, as I discovered, with the gracious help of dear souls like Vera. I understand so much of myself better. It is a relief and good feeling.

[@ngonigriffith8856]

Thank you so much for this video! I had to stop watching the news recently because it was negatively affecting my mental health. I watch little tidbits here and there, but not constantly like I used to. This change has greatly impacted my mood for the better. I took the 16 personalities test and am an ISFJ. Weird, because I always thought I was an extrovert since I love being in nature. That is where I find my happy place, in nature. Beautiful scenery calms my mind and relaxes me. Looking forward to the other videos in this series!

[@ngonigriffith8856]

P.S. I watched the movie "The Entity" when I was younger. Couldn't go to sleep afterwards and also "Nightmare on Elm Street". Had a dream about Freddy Krueger sticking my foot with a pitchfork and blood squirting out. Never again!

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks for sharing Ngoni 😊 I know what you mean, I hardly watch the news anymore either. Especially seeing news about human or animal suffering will haunt me for weeks. I think it's totally okay to protect yourself in that way. I also love being in nature, and having plants in my house. Have a lovely day!

[@darksidesr7]

I also stop looking the news, anyway if something is important in your country or in the world, you will know it in a way in an other ;) and the media people acting a bit crazy, drama, sometimes, they made too much

[@GhinZun]

I stopped watching news totally when I had children, because I did not want them to see such terrible things yet that humans do, I think there are too small for that and I remembered suffering a lot with the news which my father saw constantly at home. It's strange because I don't feel the same way with movies, because I know there are not real. I hardly cry with a movie, but with the news, real based stories, documentaries that speaks about real human and animal situations... I can't stop crying and crying

[@natalialondono2757]

Thank you for sharing, I am a very highly sensitive person,I picked on people's mood and that can really either make my day or ruin it,is so hard to be around people because they drain me,it's so weird that I need space to recharge and find my self again,I can't wait for the rest of the series 💕

[@SimpleHappyZen]

thanks so much for sharing Natalia Londono! Take the time you need for recharging, it's totally okay!

[@Photobyhart]

When I had a photo show, the gallery owner said my photos had a Wabi Sabi feeling. I asked, what’s that? She told me to go look it up. I have been very hepled to learn about, embrace and accept that nothing is perfect, nothing is finished and nothing is permanent. As an HSP and INFJ, I find being in nature and photographing nature helps me to recharge.

[@1jrpb2]

I remember, years ago, waiting in a parking lot, for someone. It had been raining, and there were shallow puddles in the dirty, oily pavement. The oil floated around in the water, making swirling rainbows. I remember thinking how strange it was for me to think that was beautiful.

[@elizabetharaujo1323]

Last year my husband and i have discovered that my daughter is a highly sensitive child. This helped us to understand some of her emotional struggles she had been having since starting school. Being so focused on how to help her, it took me so long to realize I am a hsp as well. Being a highly sensitive person is something I still struggle with. I worry I will set a bad example for her by not handling life in a healthy way.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

The fact that you're trying so hard and worrying about it tells me you're probably doing a fantastic job already :) I do recommend checking out the books from Elaine Aron if that option is available to you, they really have taught me so much. She also has one specificlly about children.

[@elizabetharaujo1323]

@@SimpleHappyZen that is so helpful! Thank you!!

[@AuroreFolny]

I realized only this year I was HSP, I mean for real. I had some big burn-out episode last year and some time ago and decided to see a therapist because I finally resolve I wasn't be able to deal with all this stuff alone (I used to think I was Wonder Woman and could manage everything because I was already conscious about my tendency to burning out, but that's not enough to recover !). I know I made a GREAT choice now ! I feel better, and I understood so many things so far, and still learn so much about me. For example the MBTI test says I'm a ENFJ, but I couldn't quite understand how I could be extroverted + HSP. Actually this extro-introverted thing is full of misconceptions, and again I learn more and more about my true self (Although I was into psychology and spirituality since a long time, I had so many misconception about myself too !). I watched pretty all your videos these days :D and I wanted to thank you for all these inspirational tips. ♥ I think I'm a minimalist since a long time, but I know how it's called now, and I'm willing to continue to do so and even better, because that's what I need as an HSP.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks so much for sharing your story Aurore Folny, you can be so proud of your journey! 😊 I also recognized a lot of what you said myself and I am also an ENFJ on the MBTI scale. I'm so glad you find my videos helpful and I hope to keep seeing you here. 🤗✌

Finally this is clear to me, is hard to feel misunderstood or like a wuss all the time, I love myself but until now I couldnt explain why I am the way I am. Thank you.

You're very welcome Cynthia! :) If you want, here is a video about how to explain being a highly sensitive person to others: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIvOpXWBpZ10irM Maybe it can be helpful for you

[@heidibay6799]

Thank you Vera. You explained it in an easy to understand way. I am HSP and have known for about 2 years now. Both my children are HSP. I think my life today is so much easyer because I know how to read my inner signs now. When I need to take a step back and be on my own and when to avoid situations. I also make lists for EVERYTHING now. This helps me to clear out my head. It can be difficult to make people understand and accept it, so it is good that more people talk about it. Thank you.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

You're welcome Heidi Bay and thank you for sharing! Just knowing about your sensitive trait and listening to your needs can make all the difference, so I'm glad you found these things to help you and your family! 😊

So sorry to hear that Alena but I'm glad you found this video, please know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way you are :) I recommend checking out my other HSP videos, and you could always see if you can get the book The highly sensitive person by Dr Elaine Aron, that book helped me out so much

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Well said Kat Ambriz! A beautiful way of looking at it! 😄

[@kristenalbert2012]

So many things are starting to make sense. Because HSP people tend to have an over active immune system, I'm wondering if my recent diagnosis of Crohns might have some connection with being a HSP which is also recent. Both conditions affect immune system. Something to think about.🤔 Enjoyed this video, lots of good info.💙💕💙

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks for sharing Siera Day, I wouldn't know if there might be a connection, certainly interesting 😊 Take good care of yourself and your health!

[@DragoMorke]

I can relate to the majority of the points in your test. I counted which do not apply because it was easier and I counted some as half points and came to a score of 25. So while I am quite sensitive, I am not ultra sensitive and I think this as a good thing because it causes less problems but issues arising due to it are still of daily concen. I like being hsp for the most part and would not trade them because without it life would feel empty and lack emotion. Knowing that I am a HSP doesn't solve problems but it's been an eye opener and helps dealing with it and to find who I am. Thanks for your videos.

I know that I am an HSP because I have a lot of the traits and I never understood why I was the way was and now finding all this out makes sense. I have been called antisocial and now I understand why I never wanted to go to parties. I always wanted to stay home and have some quiet time, and I was always the first one to leave any gathering. It all makes sense. Finding out that one is an HSP is not easy.

[@darksidesr7]

Great video Vera, i am an HSP too, having an orphean disease of internal ear, for more than 20 years , probably due to a very stressfull job that i quicked,, living different way now, in the countryside, i am much more older than you, no modern medication is known to reply to this illness, may be that 's a luckiness because it obliged myself to find an 'everyday quality of life, it was so hard for years....and few help at that time, now i have a special diet, ayurvedic way of living, it changed all my life and make the difference, Thanks Vera, ♥

Thank you so much Theresa Wray for your sweet comment 😊🌿

[@Miralci]

Great video. 🙂 I'm pretty sure I'm also HSP though I don't really talk about it, mostly because I'm concerned people see it as an excuse or weakness. I have a friend who's very open about it, and recently one of our mutual friends (he's generally very critical and negative, unfortunately) started complaining about her and basically said she's just an attention seeker. I must say I surprised myself and stood up for her and advised him to read up on what being HSP is like before throwing around accusations like that... But I admit it makes me even less likely to be open about being HSP...

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks so much for sharing your story Miralci. I understand how something like that could make you feel this way. I think talking about HSP can be important, to help non-HSPs understand what it's like as you say. But everyone should determine for themselves if they want to do that, if you don't want to share it with people then I personally don't think there's anything wrong with that. I sometimes talk about it with close friends/family, and my boyfriend of course, and this helps me because they can understand me better. There's always going to be negative and critical people, no matter what you say. If they give you a hard time after opening yourself up like that, that says a lot more about them then it says about you. I've learned that it's nothing to be ashamed of, you are who you are, and I personally feel my sensitivity is one of my superpowers. I probably couldn't have made this channel like it is now for example, if I wasn't highly sensitive. Also, I learned about ways to talk about your sensitive trait with people in a way where you emphasize the positive aspects, from the book "The highly sensitive person". I found this very helpful. All in all, I'd like to tell you to not be embarrassed, and to love yourself just as you are, and to let anyone who gives you negativity just talk, it says nothing about you. :-) Have a lovely day!

[@Miralci]

Simple Happy Zen Thanks for your reply Vera. 😊 I personally don't have issues with myself being HSP, and I know that the way people react shows more about them then about yourself. 🙂 It's just that I'd rather avoid such reactions, as they "stick" to me for a long time... (I'm sure you understand 🙂)

HSP here, just found out a few weeks ago. Most of the time, I see it as a great trait, but there have been some times I wish I would not be as sensitive. I´ve known all my life I was different than most, but could not explain it until I read the Dr. Elain's book on HSP. We could use this trait to excell at whatever we want (I've done it haha).

I am the same way about movies. I avoid the out and out gruesome. The scripts are lifted from real life or they wouldn’t be half as frightening. Walking dead? They are the world over in various circumstances and degrees of human degradation. It’s called homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction, famine, war...sometimes any and everywhere you go and see for yourself. But retreating into a cave is not the answer. I once read or heard of a man who, as a child, was told by his mother to focus on all the people helping in a crisis situation. That brings hope and peace of mind. That, if you yourself were in need, natural human inclination is to help and you would not be left to suffer without anyone responding. That is excellent advice for the highly sensitive...look at all the people helping.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thank you for sharing MariannD! I think HSP are naturally talented at helping others, as long as they don't forget to take care of themselves in the proces.

Simple Happy Zen So true. It’s perfectly fine to just marvel at the talents of others...the most qualified to help.

even HSPs have different spectrums influenced by their early lives ... all my life I have felt alone .... increasingly I realise it is because I m HSP among everyone who isnt sensitive ... always making me feel alone. and when I was a child I lost couple of very close people with whom I was very close ... since then everyone I loved was not attainable .. haha!

Vera- I love your videos, your personality and relatability! I’m an HSP and have to pace myself when watching your videos because the constant input of the background music is overwhelming. Not sure what you have thought about this production factor before?

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thank you Carissa! Actually I always find that I enjoy videos with music in the background, as it adds to the relaxed atmosphere. But I do try to not mix the music too loud in the video, because I don't want it to be distracting. I'll be sure to take this feedback with me in the future.

[@elise9471]

I think HSP are more likely to be minimalists like you because we look for meaning and detail. Having a lot of items you don't feel anything with makes us feel overwhelmed

[@AngelicArts]

So relatable :) Thank you!

[@SimpleHappyZen]

You're very welcome Rena 😊 Thanks for commenting!

[@kerryflintoft2064]

I can't find your test but I feel like this speaks to me and is highly likely - I feel like a sponge. Can you link the test?? And thank you for been open about this - I have always felt very up or down and extremely aware of people and how the act / react and get usiet very easily or overwhelmed / heightened emotions x

I stumbled upon The Highly Sensitive Child a few years ago - thinking it may help me uncover a deeper understanding of my son. As I began reading I started realizing the concept of HSP was striking a nerve personally. I always felt different but built a self concept around myself as simply being creative. Thanks for the content! I need to read The Highly Sensitive Person. I'm also studying psychology so I'm interested in the research in this area of personality/genetics etc. Are there any research papers you would recommend to start with?

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Hi there! So interesting!! :) I'm currently reading The brain of the highly sensitive person by Esther Bergsma, and this is basically a summary of all the scientific research that has been done since Elaine Aron published her book The highly sensitive person. Very interesting :)

[@TheRigtones]

@@SimpleHappyZen Thanks for the info. I'll look into that book. The HSP as a personality trait may be a topic for me to write an essay on. I'll be taking a personality psychology course at some point. Thanks for writing back to me 😃.

[@MrLuigilira]

Thank you Vera. It's a great and helpful video. I've noticed that most of the comment are from girls, just wondering if HSP it's related to girls or still a tabu for guys open up about that? Met vriendelijke groet

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Hi there Luigi! Glad you found the video helpful. Actually, studies have shown that it's 50/50. So of all highly sensitive people, 50% is male. I personally think that it might be harder for men to talk about, like you said.

[@TioDeive]

Just loved all your videos and information you brought up to now, made me understand a little more and be a little less strict about myself. I've got a suggestion: flashes between the scenes of your video. Please don't do it. I had to just listen, couldn't watch it. Thank you!

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks so much David, happy you enjoyed the information in this video! Also, thanks for your suggestion. This is actually an older video, I stopped using those flashes a while back :)

[@iriseligio3831]

Just what I've been going through. I have also experienced sudden pains at work due to stress, was it your burnout that highlighted your highly sensitive state? or are they unrelated?

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks for sharing Iris Eligio, I hope you can take good care of yourself at work and avoid stress when possible. In my case, they are both related and not related. Being highly sensitive did contribute to me getting a burn-out, though there were others things happening at the time that also contributed. I am thankful for it though, I learned so much because of it. Have a lovely day!

[@annahowland6346]

I’m wondering if the anxiety disorder that I was diagnosed with many years ago was just being a HSP person all along. I have been medicated to “fix” a part of me that is not necessary to correct. Having an epiphany here.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Wow that would definitely be something.. :) Thanks for sharing Anna and take care!

[@evbemma33]

As Hsp I have troubels with bossy extraverted bully aggresive sarcastic Managers at work. It is so difficult to be close to them.😢

Being sensitive is weak, I am not weak..

[@cabritje]

Hi Vera! I believe I am a HSP, a test showed me I am, but I did that two years ago. I am very sensitive in general and I can relate to most characteristics of highly sensitive people, but do you think I can still follow your advice even though I might not consider myself completely as HSP?

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Of course Caroline! 😊 There's kind of like a "scale" when it comes to being HSP. Some people score very high, others a bit lower. But really, all you need is your own intuition; when the tips feel good to you, when it feels like you could benefit from them, then definitely use them. 😊 Taking care of yourself in a way that YOU need. ✌ You can also check out the test I made to see how many of the 30 signs you recognize.

[@cabritje]

Simple Happy Zen Well my score was 28/30 so I guess I am haha

[@Lumary]

Great video! What do you think of being a parent as a Hsp? I sometimes wonder if it would be too much 'stress' if you know what I mean. :)

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks! Yes I know what you mean 😊 I loved what Elaine Aron wrote in her book. She said HSPs usually make for excellent parents, but that it's also good to know your limitations if you have them. She said having kids can be extremely rewarding, but that you don't neccessarily have to have kids to lead a rewarding life. Ultimately, it's very personal and different for everyone. I'd say follow your heart! 🌿😘

[@Lumary]

Simple Happy Zen Yes, I think you are right. :) In the worst case I just need noise cancellers. :D Im studying Software Engineering in the Netherlands by the way. You are talking very professional, I still need to learn this. :)

How we find out if we are sensitive or not ?

[@SimpleHappyZen]

This video might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGKyqaebndCUr6c

[@theresew9910]

I was wondering if you had any suggestions for food ideas etc to help with being highly sensitive. I do try and eat regularly and try and eat healthily ie less meat and processed food but sometimes run short of ideas and also find it difficult cooking what I like and having to cook different meals for my family I would appreciate any help or maybe recipe books you could suggest thanks again.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Hi Theresa! Good question. 🙂 When it comes to food, i think the "simple" guidelines work best for us, i.e. regularity, nourishing foods, not too much sugar/cafeine/additives/processed foods. When it comes to cooking meals, I once found myself completely overwhelmed by all the vegan recepes out there, people telling me I needed to soak beans, foodprep, buy all kinds of expensive ingredients and cook complicated vegan dishes. Now I make it a lot simpler for myself. I like to cook for 2 days, so that the next day I just have to warm something up for example. And I have around 8-10 dishes that I like, that I just rotate all the time. And then once in a while, try a new dish and if I like it I add it to my routine. That way, grocery shopping becomes a lot easier too. For recepes, I usually stay here on youtube and try to find easy healthy dishes that aren't too complicated, time consuming or expensive. I try to make it as easy as possible.🤗

[@theresew9910]

Simple Happy Zen thanks for that I also feel overwhelmed by all the vegan suggestions out there the cooking for 2 days will be a big help and also the idea of sticking to what I enjoy and trying new now and again thanks. I will also keep a lookout for recipe books as I enjoy using them better and just using the internet now and again for ideas.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Sounds great 😊 The more areas in our life we can simplify, the better. Especially for us HSPs 😄

i m emotionally hsp but not physically if that's possible

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Hi Smita! I don't think it's possible to only be highly sensitive mentally/emotionally but not physically. But is CAN be different for each person. For example, I'm extra sensitive to sounds, but not so much to smells. So it's possible you are extra sensitive to your emotions. Take care!
