Since you talk Caroline I started noticing so many "snowflakes" and they make our world so beautiful. I am glad you were the first to teach me this about my friends!

"If we were all warriors, we'd all be dead." Very important subject. Thank you...

[@standinginthegap7118]

Exactly, we would all have killed each other.

[@SensitiveEmpowerment]

Excellent talk on such an important topic! The population of HSPs have so much to offer the world!

[@standinginthegap7118]

I just hate getting overwhelmed, it's so embarrassing because the majority of people are so unforgiving. If you cry, it's like the unpardonable sin.

[@andreacraig7831]

I completely agree

[@april6662]

Omg, thank you for sharing!! I much better understand Me!! 💎💕💕🙏🏽🙏🏽 I am not alone.. happy tears!!

[@europeansustainabilityacademy]

This is such a lovely and timely talk Caroline. Many congratulations on noticing the probable link between 'high sensitivity' and burn out. More importantly, noticing the distinct attributes of 'highly sensitive people'.

I love your talk Caroline, this is so interesting and super important, I believe this can change a whole lot for HSP to the better in both work places and at home.

[@carolinef5230]

Thank you for your kind comments. I agree, it is vitally important that HSPs receive acceptance - from themselves as well as others. They bring such value.

[@andreacraig7831]

Very well said. I love that you are direct and to the point. I'd love to see you do a TED Talk, or even just a KZbin video, on HSPs and family & friend relationships.

[@DianneFilipenko]

Thoroughly enjoyed your insightful, knowledgeable and validating talk about being a HSP. I'm going to recommend it as essential watching for many others.

[@carolinef5230]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Dianne. Thank you for your kind words and offer to recommend.

[@kenyacwilson]

Well said and presented - thank you

[@VeraMark2010]

So very well put, Caroline, and I am glad you have the number to back up what we HSPs feel to be true. Greetings from a fellow Snowflake who considers herself a warrior as well after having embraced my superpowers ;°) - it really works!

[@sarahgilani2201]

Cheers

[@beatrizcoelho9899]

Show!

[@craftsbycheryl8106]

Wow. You have described me to a T.

[@sylvielowe7387]

Very interesting talk and it explains very well how we view the world we live in in many different ways. I wish there were more snowflakes around.

[@joaolourenco2836]

The HSP normaly they are Very Competent persons, High Productives, with strong Motivation at the job and Very Demanding but with Full respect for the others. But don't look to find a job in Germany because they don't look to much for yr skills, motivation or yr competence to do great job. .....Welcome to Germany!!! I was an electromecanical-assembler in UK.

[@eyestorm]

❄️ More snowflakes to the world! ❄️

[@carolinef5230]

Thank you, Eye Storm. I couldn't agree more. x
