Life as a Highly Sensitive Person

Today I want to share with you everything about my life as a highly sensitive person. From what it is, to what helps me in my daily life, to how I deal with society and how I make the best out of what I now consider to be an amazing gift.
Before I start it is important for me to say that I am not a professional and that this video is based on my personal life experience. Some facts are from Dr. Elaine Arons book: The Highly Sensitive Person, that also coined this term.
Only 15-20% of the population can be categorized as highly sensitive people. HSP tend to have increased sensitivity to stimulation, like big crowds, bright lights, loud noises and aggressive commercials. They tend to notice subtleties and experience life in a deeper more reflective way. It's like seeing the picture in high definition, but not only the physical things but also other people's emotions, energies, and complex unspoken situations. This can lead to HSP being easily overwhelmed and tired.
HSP have a rich inner life and tend to be more introverted, shy and quiet. Yet that is not always the case, for example, as a child I was very outgoing and even overconfident - I felt that is what society expected from me. But as the years went by and I did not pay attention to my emotions, I pushed myself too hard to be perfect all the time and developed anxiety and clinical depression, something I have dealt with for years.
Life as a HSP can be hard especially is you are not aware of your sensitivity, but there are also many benefits: Like being very emphatic and compassionate, being moved deeply by music, art, and nature, the ability to have a deep connection with yourself and others and experiencing life in a very spiritual way (Of course all of these qualities are not restricted only for HSP!).
Here are a couple things that help me to live as a highly sensitive person:
1. First of all and this is the most important thing there is: understand that being highly sensitive is a real thing, in Dr. Arons book she shares many studies done on many different species, that show that this in a tendency that you are born with. Learn to accept it, and to respect yourself as you are.
2. Alone time - this is a big one. Most HSP need time alone to unwind. No matter what your living situation is, try creating a space that recharges you.
3. HSP are very much affected by the condition of their body, mind, and involvement, being overwhelmed easily by hunger, tiredness, stress and stimulation. So I am here to give you the official ok to be EXTRA with your self-care! Carry water and food with you, make sleep a priority and of course find time to just relax.
4. Plan ahead and try to making situations that might be hard for you - easier. It's perfectly fine to take things easy!
5. Learn to say no - it's ok not to do everything everyone does. At first, you might feel like a downer, but trust me once you feel well rested you will enjoy your time with people much more.
6. Let the people in your life know, I personally gave this book to many of my friends and talked about it with my family.
Something that's important to note here is that there is a fine balance between being a hermit and getting out there. Many HSP hardly leave the house and I must say I am guilty of that myself! I work from home and I can stay here for a week straight without even noticing, that's why I consciously pay attention to situations where I need to push myself and get out of my comfort zone. It's a learning curve and even if you get to a point of physical exhaustion or feeling emotionally drained, remember: this too shall pass. It takes time to find your personal balance, what people are right for you and what situations, flexibility is key.
These days I see my high sensitivity as a true gift. Being emphatic, noticing fine details and experiencing extreme emotions have become what I have to give to the world instead of a burden. I see my emotions as my inner guides, a way to learn what is right for me and what is wrong, and hot to build a life out of my heart. We might be a minority, but the gentle ways of the highly sensitive person are much needed, as they serve as a bridge to communicate the many things in life that cannot be explained, but only felt.

@Shir Levi Thank you for sharing this information! I'm just becoming aware that I have this trait as an adult. Do u think this is only genetic or can it be developed as a result of childhood trauma? I was the scape-goat child growing up in an abusive family. I wonder if trauma/environment can exacerbate being an highly sensitive adult?

When you are highly sensitive you also know immediately if a person dislikes you or is a negative person. They might not have a reason, but it can cause anxiety being around them...crowds with lots of these people are draining.

[@kyalucero7977]

^ The problem is that those people can dislike me too (basically ignore their own philosophies). It's often also because of my erratic nature. The worst and most nonsensical part is that it's usually bigots that treat me nicely, ugh :/ But I agree, most have that calm aura where you know they'll never harm or look down on you

I did the quiz and had a score of 25. As a guy it's tough to be highly sensitive, simply because I can't and won't live up to the image of what a man should be in our society. I cry a lot, I care way too much about things I can't controll and I have such a vivid imagination that it sometimes makes me loose touch with reality. I see auras around people most of the times, I see shadows in the dark that move around and sometimes I get lost in feelings/emotions of other people. It is tough, but it's a gift that I try to use as well.

[@jayblade4224]

Bro! I have the same thing. I suffer from anxiety and depression. Ive had to learn to except myself. Amd at most its a great thing sometimes. But its hard for me to eat at a restaurant or go to the mall or amusement park. Because i read everyones emotions. And im very sensitive to the crazy environments to the point i want to be secluded in my own room. But what frustrates me the most is when i cant explain it good enough to others that dont have this. So others tend to get mad at me or irritated. Because i can become angry or irritated fast. And i get twitchy and sometimes sweaty. Its an insane feeling. I hate it when it becomes out of control but love it when i can control it. Im prescribed xanax to help me calm down from the fast paced world. Im 31 and am still trying to figure out how to deal with it. And control the urges to not become so easily irritated or angry. And such simple things like the lights are to bright or theres loud or annoying noises or alot of people talking at once can set it off. Im glad im not the only one with this. We can all learn from eachother.

[@isaackipkoech4613]

Well said.

I came across this video by accident, my entire life I tried to understand what is wrong with me, my family thinks I'm weird, now I understand everything and feel relief and also don't need to explain nothing to no one.Thank you so much

[@fruitsveggies629]

As an extremely sensitive person I recommend you to just look at the sky when you feel overwhelmed while walking down in the street , I always need this to calm myself down and avoid people walking here and there infront of me which is mostly really tiring , and last but not least just check by yourself , people forget to look up and give themselves a little break from the tensing moments of everyday life :) be the one to enjoy amazing views of the sky . Much love ❤❤❤

[@dite6s9mora]

Might sound funny but I couldn't live without watching the sky regularly. When it's overly clouded and foggy for many days during the winter I feel anxiety. I don't know why.

[@fruitsveggies629]

Even foggy sky looks nice ❤❤❤

[@Lily_and_River]

I have this too. Especially in february and march in my country it can be very grey and cloudy and I tend to get more down. Some people even call it winter depression. I always long for spring and summer. You might want to take some vitamine D supplements this time of year.

[@marvelenia6702]

Yes I do that too, but then I see chemtrails everywhere and it upsets me. I also try to look at the ground a lot, without bumping into people. Thank God for the internetshops, so I only have to go to a big city once a year and I get nervous about that 3 weeks in advance :-//

[@anna-mooncrutzen3427]

I'm sixteen years old and have been labeled as 'sensitive' my whole life. I have had many downs in this small amount of time. Being called a crybaby because I cried easily. People telling me I get to influenced by other people and how they feel. I have always considered myself a people pleaser. I think they didn't really notice that I was a highly sensitive person because I'm everything but shy. I'm what they call a HSS, a high sensation seeker. They figured it out when I went to an acupucturist, who told me that she could feel my emotions running through my body like an open book. Sound very poetic, doesn't it? Being a sensitive person also made me respond very easily to treatments and antibiotics. Although sometimes still thinking it is a trait that doesn't always help me, it feels amazing to get to know yourself better. It feels amazing to know why you respond the way you do. Why I cry more than my classmates. Why someone who walks past me, can change my whole day. my whole mood. Being a HSP may not be the easiest thing in the world. But it does make me feel gifted even if not everyone can see it. :)

[@BreeElisexo]

Wow.... this is me. Like everything you said... I've always been so sensitive to light, sounds, emotions, crowds... I NEED my alone time and I have extreme social anxiety and am very emotional and empathic. I notice very small details in movies and music and nature! I don't like to try to make myself out to be "special" or anything but this is totally me.

[@thomasdean6059]

Sending to you courage and patience. Blessings.

[@meg3839]

You might be straight up empath rather just than HSP. They're very similar, we share traits and you can be both, but empaths also tend to be more energy-driven and intuitive vs mainly triggered by sensitivity to stimulation or a sensitive nervous system. Empaths may strongly sense their environment, often sense people's (or even sometimes an animal's) emotional or physical symptoms, and we tend to absorb it.

[@JamiannRypkema]

I scored 24, no surprise because I have known for many, many years that I am highly sensitive. During my younger years I was told by many that I was "too sensitive" which was very damaging to a young girl... like something was wrong with me. As I have grown in years, I realize that this sensitivity is like a super power of sorts and I use it to enhance my life! Thank you 💕

[@alisagopyan355]

Jamiann Adams I also used to be told I'm too sensitive as a girl!

[@teemack6142]

Jamiann Adams That made me cry. My family used to tell me that aaaallllllll the time and it hurt so much. I am grown now, but I guess the pain is still there somewhere.

[@TheRawfoodgardener]

Thank you SO much for sharing. I realised that am a HSP and I'm 58yrs old!! I did the test and scored 21/23. Everything makes sense now - noise, fluorescent lights, feeing relieved when someone cancels a meet up, not being able to talk on the phone, feeling drained after being with people, having a wonderful satisfying 'thought Life'. Longing to be alone. I could go on and on and on. 💜🌸thank from the bottom of my heart xx

[@mayflower2158]

I've always been called sensitive and so have taken the word to be a negative thing. But seeing this has made me realise alot about me and think of it in a very different way. This really helped me. Thank you.

[@nnekavanessa3005]

Same

[@jenaya_laila2442]

I often feel weird because I don't need so much stimulation and social context as others. This leads to people getting to know me much slower compared to others. People also often feel like I am not interested in them, but this is mostly not the case. I enjoy meeting people but I also need so much time to myself and most people do not understand. It is quite sad actually and makes life harder.. :-( Love this clip :-)

[@00britney]

i absolutely relate. i find it nearly impossible to create new friendships, it is the initial phase of not being comfortable around each other and the expectation to always be cheerful around each other that i can't seem to be able to put up with. i like being alone most of the time, it's just sometimes i crave social interaction and find myself with noone there. then i start comparing myself with my peers and i feel as if i'm a social outcast...

[@polkadotsla]

Laila Manja Messerschmidt I actually like when people are social with me, the hardest part for me is the beginning, how do you socialize, how do you just become really close with someone when you don't know them. What do you talk about? But at the same time I enjoy my alone time, I need my alone time! It's very contradicting.

[@polkadotsla]

00britney I feel the same way!

[@jenaya_laila2442]

polkadotsla If someone interests you in a situation where you can get to know them, you can just ask basic questions that interest you. I am the kind of person, I often interested in the motivations of people, their family background e.t.c. I ask these kind of question during a conversation. Don't be afraid to converse about things that interest YOU and don't be afraid to put people off. If you are deeper then others and they do not approve of the way YOU like to converse, then don't. The right people will crystallise out of conversing with a few. Be happy about the people that drop out, as the right ones will then stand out. If you then feel like being a lone again, just say so. You can say, I have to go home now, because I have to cook, clean, sleep, don't feel well, what ever, but you yourself control how long the interaction goes and when YOU need to be alone again. The closeness, just comes naturally by spending time with people over a longer time period. Also, over this time period you will also know for yourself if YOU want be closer with specific people or not. If you do, then you can take action. So, it is all about YOU. How much time do YOU want to spend and with whom do you want to spend it with. You are free to put the pieces where you want. Hope this helps.

[@00britney]

Laila Manja Messerschmidt wow that was actually amazing advice ❤ thank you so much

[@miaramer]

I also scored 26. One of the things that affect me the most is the lack of sleep. I cannot function on a sleep deficit, my emotions get insane and I feel physically sick. Good to see a lot of people kinda like me here :)

[@JessicaDanyaahla]

omg yes!! i feel physically sick too if i don't get enough sleep. like if i have to wake up before 6am i feel nauseas af 😂 thought it was just me.

[@miaramer]

Jessica Lynn Same here, you're not alone! Sometimes people don't understand what the big deal is. I used to envy those who can get away with not sleeping enough consistently, but now I just accept it and make sleep a priority...

[@miaramer]

Ana That's also exactly how I feel if I don't get my sleep, and I also need a lot of hours of it. For some reason our society values skipping sleep to "get more things done", but for some people that's very counterproductive!

[@pearljean]

Omg you just described my life!!😂 I need at least 8-10 hours of sleep in order to work and function well. Also, my body gets more fat and sick when I don't sleep well and have lack of sleep. 😢

[@karenkenney6021]

I'm so glad I watched your video, I had never heard of highly sensitive people before! I scored a 25. I had always thought I had some kind of learning deficincy or something, I can not listen to music or talking and do anything else. My friends in high school would listed to music when they did their homework but I had to have total silence, even then I was easily distracted. I get easily distracted or annoyed by light, sound and temperature. I jokingly tell people that I have dog ears because I seem to hear things no one else can. I can not be in large crowds of people, especially if it's very sunny and warm, I can have a panic attack or get angry from being over stimulated. I'm also very empathetic to others especially animals, and often am plagued by sad, horrible or depressing repeated thoughts. I am happiest when I am alone with my animals

[@isabelprins4756]

I score 26 points. I so know that I am sensitive, sometimes I feel so lonely because not everyone understands my point of few. but I do love it when I can help someone.

[@SheerLev]

That is amazing and so so important. And from my experience, the more I talk about my sensitivity, the more the people around me feel they can share theirs as well ❤ Much love to you dear

Now I am helping those cats and only sometimes I cry. Mostly it's a glorious gift working with others who care deeply to save many animals each week month and year. I also became a pet sitter in my spare time to give more love and found I was monetarily compensated in return as well. A good energy exchange.

Blessings

[@Emma-ye1xs]

Thank you for this video. I didn't know anything about highly sensitive people or that being highly sensitive was a thing. The longer I watched your video the more I could relate. I took the test and got a total of 14! I was really surprised! But it is also really cool to find something out about yourself that you didn't know before:) Thanks Shir!!

[@BlackGirlWithSocialAnxiety]

I scored 19, I knew I always had sensitivity issues even from a child even up to today and it's difficult trying to explain to your family that being sensitive is something that probably cannot drastically change,and they get upset and tell me to be strong but it's not that easy to force yourself to be something that you're not. I think my sensitivity comes more from social environments and interacting but that's probably social anxiety(which I have lol) Also being overly sensitive is quite annoying for example someone could say something to me in maybe a harsh or a strange gesture that can be maybe be a little rude and I will think about it the whole day or cry about it lol. Seeing this video gave me hope that I can cope being this way, thank you

OMG the same!! People just don't understand.

[@AnnafromHungarylvNW]

I got a 24... it's hard to separate HSP from being neurotic because I have my fair share of trauma. Classic CBT techniques and talk therapy don't seem to work - I know my patterns and beliefs, but that doesn't change anything. I couldn't yet find a way to function in society and be independent without bulldozing myself, and authenticity is real hard and I don't think I would talk about being HSP face to face with someone because I don't want to be the special snowflake.

[@EllyWinfield]

Wow this is so interesting, I always found myself to be highly sensitive to light and loud noises and couldn't figure out why no one else around me did. Thanks for the video, super informative!!

[@gacha._.cookie4973]

4:11 When she said learn to say no i broke down ...

[@Judey_Toons]

Thanks so much for this! I scored 100% on the quiz a while back. Discovering I was a HSP made so much sense of my entire life! It explained my strong sensitivities to bright light, to sound (misophonia included), to smell (I can smell pasta when it is al dente from 2 rooms away), to texture. I feel like my senses have been in overdrive my whole life. Not only that, I pick up on everyone's intentions and energies, and a room full of hostile energy will send me into a panic and force me to leave. I am always exhausted. I work from home with 2 small children and barely have time to myself. When they sleep however, I love retreating to my bedroom for quiet time. Funny part of it all is that I am an extrovert (ENFJ). It would be so amazing to meet fellow HSPs like me!

[@madisonjmyers3977]

First comment on KZbin! After seeing this I had to write some words of love and support and also share a little of my experience. I am highly sensitive as well, scoring 24 on the test. While I don't feel particularly shy, and most people agree that I come off as outgoing, I am very picky about who I spend time with and who I want in my life. I'm very sensitive to negativity and people's intentions. I cry easily, especially when I'm overwhelmed and have to do more than a few major tasks in a day. I also struggle with motivation if the task is not in line with my core values (sometimes struggle working for big companies). I never thought of myself as having few friends until I just sat and thought about it. I spend a lot of time alone and need it to interact with the world. I go through periods where I get very upset and sad at the world, society and what we've done to the beautiful Earth. I find myself being an incredibly loving and understanding person, but at the same time dealing with a lot of anger towards humanity (similar to a commenter b leria below). I've found spirituality is a great way to deal with these sometimes overwhelming emotions and helps me make peace with the world. Something I also feel, that I have not seen in the comment section or in the video, is a sensitivity to food. My body is so sensitive that I have to eat vegan, unprocessed food. Any complicated dish or food that seems to have negative energy effects my digestion and mood almost immediately! Anyone else here like that? Amazing video! I LOVE your energy!

[@irenesantacruz7850]

I discover this today with my therapist this is giving me hope, thank you for the videos

[@lyllymoreland2800]

I have highly sensitive hearing. Each time I hear the alarms go off at school I cover my ears because of how loud they are.

[@MegaLoler9000]

yeah, i wear earplugs whenever i leave my room because there are just too many painfully loud sounds around, when i take a shower, when i'm in the kitchen with clanging dishes, around musical instruments, when i'm around roads with cars driving by, when the vacuum is running, any other loud appliance, etc., and i always keep earplugs with me wherever i go when i leave the house

[@fimutma]

I cover my ears too even when a plane passed by :V

[@beingsarahw]

I believe I am. I took the quiz and it came out as I was in fact a HSP... I noticed this over the last few years, reading stories online, pictures, animal cruelty, bright lights, shouting, horrible shows on TV, the news even... all caused me overwhelming anxiety and even some things causes terrible depression... I want to be able to fix all the terrible things... Also peoples moods I can tune into so easily... without even speaking I know their mood... I am struggling with this.. the stress of not being able to help all these people/animals in need makes me so sad, like I am failing everyone.

[@surgentsunnysongs6359]

Thanks from all of my heart ! I don't know what happens with me since i saw your film and found out, that i'm highly sensitive... my whole life i tried to be "normal" and was very hard to myself, also my parents. As i saw your wonderful film and realized that i'm NOT an Error or bad person... that i'm born with, let me cry a million tears and i was so happy to see that i'm NOT guilty of the way that i react... now i be the first time in my life able to love myself. Thank you for your good advices ! Now i could treat me better and have also the chance for a better, happier future ! You are wonderful ! All the best for you ...and i still keep on making music.

[@kyokokomatsu6321]

Thank you for speaking up this topic! I’m the one of HSP too, but people around me don’t know about it. So they usually tell me “you worry too much” “don’t worry”, but it hasn’t helped me. This video helped me to understand myself too. Thank you!

[@aryanam953]

I always tell people that every day for me is a journey and they always think I'm exaggerating. But being around new stimuli and situations and energies all the time gets so draining and sometimes, when I ca't get out of these situations, I get migraines because I get an information overload and I can't identify my feelings. It proves to be a struggle, but everyday, through little steps, I work on knowing what is right for me and how to navigate.

[@heartbreak408]

I scored a 25 lol but in all honesty I didn't need the test to tell me. I've been easily overly stimulated since I was a little girl whether it be my emotions or my senses, I hear too much, see too vividly, love textures and touching them, and people assumed I was shy but I was just very observant which made me quiet. It's getting worst now that I'm in my 20's and pregnant because my tolerance for stimulus is so low, I don't even wanna talk to my own friends lol and I find myself being a hermit, which I love a little too much. Don't get me wrong I love people and connecting but I just really don't have the desire to at the moment other than with my partner, but only because I see him as "myself outside of myself". People feel so strongly about things (which is important) but me being able to feel everything makes it hard to converse about those strong feelings and opinions. Hopefully soon I find a healthy way to function, I feel like somethings wrong with me for not wanting to be social and I have no serious excuse. I don't have anxiety so I can't used that, I actually find joy in conversing to a degree, it just gets exhausting so I prefer not to, almost at all. But I now see my sensitivities are enough of an "excuse"... Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

[@HannaPramholt]

I got 21. I never really thought of myself as a sensitive person. I know that I am and have always been more susceptible to mentally and physically things. I don't like big crowds, and I have a hard time finding new friends since people often make me uncomfortable. But it would make a lot of sense if I was highly sensitive.

[@nevermind8895]

Thank you so much for making this a topic in your video because for the longest time I thought I’m just really weird that would never be normal or ever fit in and think others thought the same thing for as long as they have known me. On the that test, I found the answer to why I always feel like crying when someone says something negative about me, why I notice or feel things more intimately than most. This has truly been an eye opener. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@duanenash9474]

Thanks you so much for these videos. At 38 I am just barely coming to terms with being a male HSP and all that entails. It breaks my heart when I realize that there are probably so many other people and especially males that live lives of quiet desperation never admitting or coming to terms with their sensitivity. Your video is so easy to watch and I can stare for miles into your beautiful eyes.They are spectacular!!

MY mother has always said me That i Was too sensitive in all aspects. I Was really affected when People around me suffer, and i suffer at the same level when he or she is suffering. I am really empathetic and is Hard living in This life so superficial, With a lack of emotions. MY psicólogo said me That i had an excess of sensitivity. Anyone Know if i am highly sensitive?

[@angelafernandez9927]

Ana Thanks a lot Anna! I dont see the point That is a Good gift... I only suffer and every time is much more difficult to see as a Good thing... Maybe if we could put in touch in a forum i Would be more understood... Anyway Thanks a lot to answer me

[@amara560]

Angela Fernandez Yeah this very hard. I was in a bad situation living with my mother in law who would complain to my husband everyday about all the things he did wrong. It hurt me so much, that broken relationship between them. So I broke down crying and my MIL was like: Wow you are really sensitive (after almost a year of that stress...I don't think you even have to be HSP for that). But it is hard to deal with those people that have 'hardened'/'toughened up' by life, as my MIL is. Some bad things happened to her. And even though my own life hasn't always been easy (whose has?). I try to stay open minded and try to understand myself and the people around me better. But yeah I understand it is a struggle, when people tell you that you are 'too sensitive'...They just don't understand...

[@raphael-beats]

Angela Fernandez Well I relate to this So I believe you can be Highly Sensitive

[@tbasmadjian]

I've never watched a video that described me so to the T before. Shir, as I watch all the videos you post, I feel such a connection to the way you describe your emotions and the way you live your life. I'm extremely similar to you, and I'm so glad I found your channel. Whenever I'm feeling down, I come back and watch this video as a friendly reminder that it's okay -- there are ways to navigate our crazy minds, and it's not the end of the world if you do something wrong. Thank you for being a KZbinr and putting yourself out there, and honestly just for being you. You're an inspiration!

[@peacetea1001]

I just recently discovered that I’m highly sensitive and this is a great video. Recently I’ve noticed I’ll cry but idk why I am crying. I literally can’t find a reason. Also if I have some work to do the weather or my environment will decide whether I get my work done that day or not. If it’s raining and or gloomy outside. I will not get work done. If I’m in my house I can’t get my work done. If the cafe or library is too cold or loud I can’t get my work done. If the weather is not perfect I will not go outside for a workout.

[@PikaPetey]

on the flip side dealing with someone who is highly sensitive is draining. When ever im around people who highly sensitive, i always feel like im walking on egg shells. Its like i have to tip toe around them to not accidentally set up an emotional eruption from that individual. Then when I try to explain my perspective on things im met with snarky responses like "You're just an asshole." or "you should try being more considerate." Most of the time i get annoyed and cut them out of my life.

[@MegaLoler9000]

this is a huge reason why i have a hard time accepting my own self, being so sensitive, because i can understand what it's like on the other side, and often do my best to hide my sensitivities because i can't stand the idea of upsetting anybody, but in the end all that really ends up happening is i retreat and hide away forever because my sensitivities just can't be avoided, i just can't "get over" it, as much as i'd like to just for the sake of the people the relationships with whom i care about

[@monicavanderbelt3935]

This is actually true. I recently had a falling out with a friend over something that seems small to me, but is a huge issue for him. I just apologized prefusely and tried to understand his situation, but he just wants to take a break from us. I have felt so guilty and talked with others about it who made me realize that he is not being reasonable. It's hard though.. I love him but I also feel like you shouldn't have to tip toe around your friends.

[@strawbemmy]

this is why i hate myself

[@NatureFreak1127]

Maybe it is hypersensitivity in narcissistic individuals, that you encounter.

[@fairywonyoungie3708]

I'm late but it seems like you were dealing with a narcissist rather than a HSP. I don't think HSP will ever be as daring to say such things to your face. Narcissists usually tend to guilt trip like that.

[@illillyillyo]

My score is 21! I thought that a few of the questions were a little too broad though. For example, I don't think I know anyone who doesn't get into a bad mood or stop concentrating when they're really hungry. Hahah it's natural for a living being because food is a physiological need, so it's more important than any other need!

[@janicekrol8320]

I was actually diagnosed with hyper sensitive nerve disorder (hyper sensitive person) a few months ago by my doctor. That explained soooooo many health problems I had over the years!

[@xpaeonia]

I had to check almost every box, except the one with the caffeine, because I don't really know it. Already did another test like one year ago where you could reach about 135 points and I reached 129. It's so hard for me to deal with it... I'm like constantly exhausted, people empty me and my anxiety makes it so hard to stand everyday life... plus my self-esteem is like non-existing, I can't even look people in they eyes when they talk to me. And nobody understands me, I'm just the weird girl that doesn't have any friends, just sitting in her room, doing nothing. I even broke up with my boyfriend because I hate myself so much and I started feeling so uncomfortable around him... it feels like it's never going to end. It just won't pass... :(

[@uhondowabongo1651]

Melissa B. it will dear speak positivity to your self u can do it

[@MegaLoler9000]

mhm! i'm so afraid of interacting with people, actually talking to people and being myself, because as soon as i expose myself in any way, i feel extreme anxiety and regret, fearing every little detail about what they might be thinking of me, feeling like i'm a huge mess up, i tremble and feel traumatized when i have to speak up about anything remotely personal, it can be crippling, i can't even feel comfortable around my own family, i'm always in my room just blocking everyone out because it's the only way i feel i can be okay enough i'm just a blank person who smiles and doesn't say anything when i have to be around other people, i avoid as much as possible having to engage with anybody i feel totally trapped and hopeless about it, watching my life go by with all the people i care about and want to enjoy life with living their lives distant from me, because i feel physically incapable of letting them in

[@Jess-th4lt]

I'm wondering the difference between highly sensitive and social anxiety Completing the test and there seems to be a lot of similarities

[@BreeElisexo]

Jess I was thinking the same!

[@SheerLev]

I believe the difference is mainly in the degree it affects you. Being highly sensitive can be hard in social situations, but it is not paralyzing. It takes a lot of energy sometime yes, but you do not shut down. Anxiety on the other hand can completely run your life and make social situations simply impossible.

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

I scored 24.Thankyou for posting on KZbin. I always knew something was wrong with me as I'm always stressed and became sensitive if people yelled at me or gave me a hard time. Being a HSP is a gift.My intuition is always 100% on.I can spot a lier a mile off.And I also think being empathic is a good quality.

[@alvisceratortheultimate1660]

[@XXgenderloveXY]

I prefer to say that 80-85% of the population are highly insensitive people, and I'm part of the 15-20% of the population that are in their natural state. :)

[@carladalcol183]

good reframe :)

[@deadcell1]

Because that 80-85% of the population grew up having fucked up things happening to them that balanced them out. Some of the most amazing people I've met come from a horrible past and because of their life experiences their able to relate and understand a person when they are in pain because of their situation and circumstances. This is something the sensitive person has no understanding of. Sensitive people were sheltered their whole lives, protected from the outside world and when they enter the world they run and hide from the very things that are designed to balance them out. It's not good, the ones who never learn, well.. You hear about them on the news all the time.

[@XLightChanX]

@@deadcell1 lol what?

[@l.lawrence4923]

You Are Not Ready Hello, I’m a HSP and I have experienced, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. A lot of HSP have experienced trauma, and since we are HSP we have experienced it even more deeply. I think it’s a shame that you generalized HSP as just not equipped for the world? Furthermore Who is? Lol... Also individuals who are sheltered with HSP or the 80 - 85% of the population have a whole other psychology to why they function the way they do. Be more intuitive, there’s a lot resources online. No reason to generalize :)

[@pearljean]

@@deadcell1 you seem to generalize HSPs so easily. I get overwelmed whenever I hear negative words or insults.. when I was a child, i experienced mental and physical abuse by my mother. So whenever i see similar experiences I had around, I get easily emotional and understand what they must have gone through... and I even get sick sometimes. Having much experiences as a person who lived in asian and western cultures, there are a lot of times i do seem to understand many situations as well. Also, probably, my major in anthropology, psychology and cultural studies has influenced me to understand more deeply.

I live in London where the property prices are insane. And if you're an HSP and have to apartment-share it can be very very difficult. Also if you're an HSP who attracts people then that's even harder. If I was able to make money the way I make friends I'd be a very wealthy woman. And it's difficult because women especially tend to bond through conversation but I'm not really the person who will pick up the phone and ring you. And you'll wait a long time if you're waiting for me to invite you out for a coffee. It's just not what I do.

,Hi Shir I think I fit in to more of an Ambivert. I am in the middle of Carl Jung's spectrum between extrovert and introvert. Ambiverts slide up and down the spectrum depending on the situation and people around me. It's like being bilingual but I guess I can reach out to a wider range of people. I like an article by the huffington Post with this label: 6 myths about Introverts to stop believing. Introversion can be confused with shyness when it is actually a motivation in how much I want to be in certain interactions. After saying all this I took that quiz at the bottom and I got a 15-so I am highly sensitive also. When I am with my tribe and those like me I am suddenly an extrovert. I guess labels aren't something I understand because I am more complicated than I thought

[@DiomerysRamirez]

I am very sensitive, it's frustrated sometimes...feels weird

[@rosyhumbug]

I had no idea what this was before watching your video, and after taking the quiz and contemplating on my behavior throughout my life, I realize that this is what I have been feeling like forever! Strong senses overwhelm me and make me anxious. Unpleasant smells that may be considered "mild" to someone else, make me extremely uncomfortable. Having too many things going on at once or having continuous loud/disrupting noises gives me a lot of frustration and anxiety. I didn't even know that there was a term for this, but now that I know and identify with it, I feel that much more understood, especially after seeing many others that share the trait. Thanks for doing an analysis on this! It brought about a sort of epiphany for me. :) xx
