[@RSIALVR]

@@Nick-tz3ke it's ok to cry if you're a Male and hell I would just yeet those boys if they saw a Male crying and telling them if they're a girl- And just because you're a Male doesnt mean you cannot cry, it doesn't make you look weak, it makes you look you went something bad and serious. When I saw my brother cry for the first time, I didnt know what to do since I always comfort girls and my brother was older than me. It made me realise boys also cry, and go through tough times like girls do too. So Sometimes, you have to let it out too. It doesnt matter whether you're emotional or stoic, you need to let it out. (Its bad and it's not mentally healthy keeping your feeling inside a bottle and not opening it to someone. You understand right?) Just some encouraging words from a stranger :) And I wanna just throw hands at this kind of society-

That's more than true. However I have to say that I really struggle with this. Except KZbin I don't go to social media anymore. Just use some for chat. But unfortunately the crazy algorithm of KZbin is enough. It is a struggle for me as 70 percent of videos are very negative, even dark. I really try not to click on them but for some reason I sometimes click on some of them even though it is extremely draining and painful to watch them. And for that reason I get even more negative videos even though I subscribe just to channels with things I like.

[@amarilismelendez7878]

HSP that hasnt managed their intense feelings usually end up with loads amount of stress, anxiety and depression. This shows that they have acquired a different way to desensitize. Usually this happens when the individual is surrounded by people who shunned them by its livelihood. Also taken advantage of people who use their empathy to seek attention from them in a unhealthy manner. Now I dont know if Good Will is a genetic trait or aquired trait or a natural function. All I know is that an act of good will activates the reward system which makes you feel good when you do something good. Beating someone down also rewards the brain cause victory, who doesnt like to win a fight or in control? This creates a unhealthy cycle of abuse and its harder to win against it the more you stay and fight back, others strategies is to run and seek where you are accepted and loved, to seek yourself and love yourself. HSP some of you might be depressed or anxious cause of past experiences, allow yourself to live today again like you used to.

[@judylang5466]

I'm glad you mentioned depression, anxiety & stress. Yes, Yes, Yes. That's how my brain and body react when overloaded with feelings and thoughts. Now that I understand what is happening I can unplug by being alone and doing something creative like going for a bush-walk , reading fiction , even cooking or cleaning. I am surprised that it is as common as 1 in 5 because I find it quite rarely in other people. Unlike Narcissism that is so common.Now I am going to watch- How to Ignore People- on youtube.

[@killphaser25]

Yes!!!

[@pandagiri]

I believe this statement is true. I'm struggling with all sorts of stress, anxiety & depression... but I believe I'm an HSP who grew up with a sociopathic mother & sister. I used to love drawing all the time all while my mother would bark at me saying that will never make me any money. I went away for a summer only to come home to bare walls in my bedroom-- my mom tore down & threw all of my art away. My sister used to tell me that it was more enjoyable to wait for my reaction to sad parts in a movie & laugh at me (all while a touching sad scene is happening in the movie) than it was to watch the movie she paid for. After she literally threw my pet hamster against the wall & killed it, she told me I deserved it for tattling on her. Many other contributing factors prevent HSPs from embracing their HSP-ness & instead try their hardest even after realizing this to suppress any and all initial emotional knee-jerk reactions to anything. I've become so numb to many things. I'm not all sunshine & tears like I used to be. I don't think I could ever go back to being anything like that, if I ever was that way to begin with.

[@nevel-luna5070]

My biggest problem is that I can't understand when people are being mean to me or they are just teasing. Also I am not really good at criticism. And that's something I wish I can work on

[@dc656]

I'm not good with criticism either, it feels like my world is slowly crumbling for some reason when I am criticized. But I've been trying to work on myself based on the constructive criticism from my supervisor and couple of my close friends, and when they give me recognition that I am improving I feel extremely proud of myself. That is the double edged sword of being hypersensitive, when things go wrong you can end up experiencing harsh pain and anxiety, but when things go right it feels like you can take on the world.

[@amaksim]

I deal with the same thing!

[@lucasstuart-chilcote7069]

[@glitchmeister1177]

that could also be living life to the fullest though. if you are doing something you enjoy while in your room then thats one way to live life how you want. i usually shut myself away from life most of the time as well and just sit around playing video games because its what i enjoy doing and it doesnt cause me huge amounts of stress. its something i can go back to after the more important things in life are taken care of as well so that i can unwind, relax and enjoy myself. some people will argue that living life to the fullest means getting out there and actually doing things all the time. but for others like myself, its as simple as enjoying the smallest things life has to offer. Having a house to live in, being able to keep up your basic survival needs with consuming food and liquid, and having people to talk to on occasion that you are on very good terms with are the main things i think about every day. and while i might not be as popular or as outgoing as others, i always think of how good i have it compared to others and how carefree life can be in my shoes

[@DoubleOhSilver]

Videos like this don't really help either. The video had trouble trying to convince us that some of these traits were positive. It didn't even explain what "sensitive" actually means, just tied it in with empathy and mediation (so it was double counted). And ultimately, these are more feminine traits. Not too say men don't/shouldn't have them, we should, but they do not complement us in the same way. They do not fulfill us the same way it would for women. We can have feminine traits but they need to be expressed in a masculine way. I think I'm an HSP as a man. But it has become a strength for me. I learned to deal with stress in healthy ways early on. I can confront others without offending them, take the lead so that others don't cause more problems. I'd say boundaries are the most important. They're good to prevent yourself from being over influenced by the empathy you feel, to prevent people from manipulating you, or taking advantage of your kindness. It took some time though. I've been described as both an a-hole and a kind, good friend by the same people. Lol.

On the contrary, I find it easy to connect with other blokes who also have HSP, HSPs have a tendency to know who are similar of mind, so you end up talking to them more, rather than those who are not. I guess if there are no other HSP guys around, then yeah, it could be quite a lonely experience.

I just wanna know why is it so hard for my friends to actually understand me, while most of the time when they need help or need someone to talk to, I will always be there for them. But nowadays when I need them to be the person I could talk to, they just gone .. vanished. Some of them said its because I'm too sensitive and I do realise that but that doesn't mean I can't change it. I feel sad that they won't understand what I've been through for the past couple of months ..

Someday, people will be able to recognize you more and more, and they'll finally understand what it feels like to be mentally gifted. I can totally agree. A lot of people diss me for being a "cry baby" as well.

@@gamingwithdoge2511 I was diagnosed with major depression a few years ago because I was betrayed by my own best friend and my girlfriend passed away because of cancer. It was hard for me to overcome my own depression back then, even until now it was hard for me to talk about it. I suffered for almost 3 years until on 2017, I was able to stabilized myself both physically and mentally by making myself busy with assignments in Polytech. So I understand you and I feel sorry for you. Maybe because of depression and all of that, I am a HSP now. Depression sucks and yes we have to get used to it, and thanks for the pep talk. I wish you will have a wonderful future ahead of you, my friend.

[@glitchmeister1177]

personally i think that if said friends arent showing the exact same sympathy and support that you show them then they might not be as good of friends as you think they are. the people i am friends with are good people because they all have their fair share of problems and we all help each other out through the tough times in life. friends have to be there for each other, understand each other, and fully support all the good decisions you make as well as help to keep you away from bad decisions that they know would only hurt you. take some time to think about how your friendship has changed with these people over the years. sometimes we lose friends or just altogether cease communication with them and thats okay. we dont have to have a big group of friends that we can always talk with. we just need a few friends who know us and actually get us for who we are. i should know because ive been through a couple incidents with past friends that has ended said friendships and its just something that unfortunately happens from time to time, whether it be due to disagreements, unjust actions be they accidental or on purpose, or just losing interest in being friends in general due to multiple reasons. find out who supports you the most and stick with them in your lives. dont worry about others who cant be as supportive or sympathetic

This is why his students are so capable. They were mentored by what may have been the ultimate teacher-one who gave them exactly what they needed and encouraged them to be more than just mutants.

Years ago, I hung out a few times with a girl I met at church, who my parents introduced me to. She seemed eager at first to get to know me. After those few times we hung out she told my parents "He's a great guy, but too sensitive." Since then, I choose to keep distant from her. Especially after she asked if I wanted to hang out again, which I agreed to (may have only done it because i was kind of in a bad mood that day and she probably noticed) , but then she never called me back, which really got me upset and wanting nothing to do with her. Especially since us Christians aren't supposed to lie. Forgetting also doesn't seem to be an excuse since it was her idea. I always hated being highly sensitive. It felt like a weakness, especially as a man. It seemed more like a trait that was appropriate for a woman. Thankfully, someone recently told me that the world needs more guys like me. And this video let me know I do have strengths.

It's so cute when he expresses his needy side towards me... =×=♡

[@chrisuz9168]

I personally think I’m an HSP. I can identify with so many things. I also try to reflect to my childhood events where the explanation HSP really much fits. But over the years I experienced several traumas from bullying to sexual/emotional abusive cases. After 25 years I’m finally realizing all these traumas and working through them with a therapist. All the nice traits of being HSP were just frozen and that’s sad to me that I could have been enjoying the past 12-13 years to the fullest but I was too numb. But it’s never to late! I’m just starting to get myself back and that is the most wonderful thing. So everyone out there who experienced similar things, never give up!

[@danmorley8116]

A friend (sadly now deceased) suggested Elaine Aron's book to me, and I definitely saw myself in it. As a child, other kids knew I was sensitive and used to bully me. Being sensitive can be tough, but it can be an advantage when you have to work in a job where tone matters.

[@denjithechainsaw9769]

1:36 This hits too close to home.

[@alibi4876]

There is one thing that I'd like to add regarding the ability to take good decisions. Because they are so empathetic, HSPs are more likely to difficulties in setting their own boundaries as a child (and if they do not learn how to set healthy boundaries, also in later years). An HSP might empathise with, e.g., a parent who gets stressed or angry if the HSP child does not want to behave in the way that the parent wants it to behave. The child learns that following her/his own feeling/senses is wrong because it is hurtful to the parent. This is how HSPs might face difficulties in taking decisions, and they need to learn to reconnect with their inner compass.

My family seems to see me wanting to keep the peace in the house as a bad thing as they think that I can’t handle conflict at all when that’s not true. I can handle it quite well.

[@ashlazdanovich8396]

Camilla, I understand the struggle. I’ll say that maybe you can try to have more one on one conversations with your family members. That’s how I was able to get my family to calm down about “not being able to handle conflict”. I don’t know how your family is but maybe that might help. It might not erase every bit of negatively, but it might help your family understand you more. I hope things begin to get better for you.

[@laxsneha]

This!! Finally! Some really want to fight and make things disharmonious. But as a HSP we can foresee that some conflicts are only going to make it worse and that's why we wish to avoid it.

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

If that's what it means, my therapist was wrong and I'm certainly not a HSP.

[@Rimiru_Otaku]

I grew up with an extremely abusive mother and father. I was taught at a very young age that "men" aren't supposed to cry. I've been called every name in the book by my parents and siblings and yes, have been told countless times that I'm "too sensitive". I realized very early that if I didn't want to get my nose, arms, legs, face, broken and bloodied or my teeth knocked down my throat, that I had to bury that trait deep down and fight against it with all my will power. So I can tell you, as an HSP, crying isn't always a good indicator that you possess that trait. Your upbringing can have a huge affect on how your HSP trait manifests. I'm in my late 20's now and suffer from EXTREME anxiety, depression, insomnia, and a list of other disorders. Please, if any of you reading this has a child that's an HSP, please please please recognize it as a real thing and please allow it to treat your youngster like the incredibly special person they are. I'm not saying spoil them rotten and follow them around with a silver spoon. But these kind of people do require a bit more understanding, patience, and love than most. If you raise your HSP child right, they can grow into the most beautiful and creative and artistic individual you've ever known. But be warned, if you treat your HSP child like they are just too sensitive and need to be roughed up, misunderstood, and beat in order to become "normal" the only thing you'll accomplish is creating a person who is in constant agony, pain, and depression for their ENTIRE LIFE. You will probably lose that child to suicide or drug overdose later in their life. I honestly don't know how I'm even alive still. Please just be patient with your HSP kids.... You have the power to create a wonderful person OR an extremely dysfunctional and miserable person who's every waking minute is literal torture. It's too late for me. The damage has already been done. But maybe this comment can help some other young HSP have a childhood I would be envious of. A healthy childhood full of love and acceptance and patience. Please allow my broken spirit to become a beacon of light for someone else in their formidable years.

Lately I’ve been distressed about why I get so obsessed with things that interest me and others don’t seem to as much. I’m pretty quiet until I feel like I can open up around someone and then I go on extremely long and passionate rants about things that fascinate and interest me and I get the feeling that people get overwhelmed by how obsessed I am. I felt like there was legitimately something wrong with me and that I had to change this part of me to fit in with society but I just stumbled upon this and another of your HSP videos and now I understand why I’m like this haha. It makes me feel better to know there are others out there dealing with stuff like this too

[@vawnmelkingttpk]

I’m so hypersensitive that even if I’m in a “deep” sleep and my bedroom door is even a crack open and my eyes are closed,even if there is not a sound in the house and I’m wearing ear plugs I will still wake up and feel “unsafe” and wake up and close the door.... I need two blankets to sleep so I feel “safe” it’s extremely intense to walk around malls and feel everyone’s emotions and not know how to process everything.... I usually would never write something like this in the open on KZbin... but something brought me here so it is what it is.... :)

[@nahiedlaila9601]

I'm def a hsp which feels like a blessing and burden all at the same time haha. I feel so much better about being a hsp because of this uplifting video with all positive attributes about being a hsp! Because of people shaming me my whole life i saw my personality as a burden that i should get rid of but always failed to get rid of my sensitivity not realizing it is a part of me that is inherent and biological which makes it easier for me to accept if only people would appreciate my nature that would make life so much easier and less draining. Thank you for lifting us up and recognizing us when most people arent even aware of this trait and r being ignorant towards it and dont even want to make an effort to understand our sensitive nature and why we behave the way we do, maybe they would have a better understanding of us and not shame us for being ourselves which is very painful and ruins your confidence and self-image. People dont realize how insensitive they can be and tell us to "toughen up and not be so sensitive" if only it was that easy. They dont understand how exhausting it is to process everything so deeply and take everything to heart. We dont choose to be "so" sensitive. It is given to us. They always think you are exaggerating and want attention. I dont really feel empathy from people for my soft nature including my family (they dont understand me at all and always misjudge me and never make an effort to get to know me on a deeper level), I even sent them articles about my personality and they didnt even bother taking a look at it which is very dissappointing and hurtful, makes me feel worthless to them. This shaming has caused me a lot of mental issues and low self esteem which i am working on atm and I am still in therapy which has been a big part my whole life

Literally describing how I live my every day life😭 I am doing everything's too slow because I really pour my heart and soul into it, I am cooking food for freaking 4-5 hours. Not to mention cleaning and all. just why can't I do it fastly?! I'm sensitive to sound, temperature, and movement. I am an empath and a freaking crybaby. Even when slightly looking at people that I love almost make my tears flow. I always make a scene and shame myself when people talking shit about others, even when the people they are talking about not even close to me, Why do I need to intervene?! Being too overly cautious make me too clumsy and I always get minor injury inside the house! All these traits makes me have negative thoughts, overthinking, stress and hate myself rather than take it as my specialty. Plus, I always wanted people to understand me more so I am talkative and annoying, I will explain everything to them to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. I always think that I have too many flaws and people hate me because of this. Only one thing that good about this is that I am an artist and I appreciate arts and nature as well🤕🤧 Anyone ever encounter same things? This is freaking frustrating right?!

[@Jay.D_i7i]

I’m in tears watching this because I’ve always thought there was something wrong with me. Even as a kid, I’d ball my eyes out if someone hurt my feelings…well I still do. I learnt early that crying was a sign of weakness, and so when I realised that I couldn’t stop the act of crying, I’d make sure I don’t cry in front of people…because I’d be asked what the big deal was. I feel validated and understood…and it’s a great feeling to know that I’m not alone. So thank you ❤️

[@piyu2003]

I can tell if a person is sensitive just by their character. And since I am an HSP, I am depressed and anxious now-a-days. I just promised that I want to be optimistic 10 days before on my birthday, but I just can't get a control on my emotions. I feel so vulnerable. Why am I like this? Am I that difficult to understand? Being an HSP is both a blessing and a curse, but for me, it is never a blessing.
