I must admit, I’ve never heard the term HSP before but since I identify with a lot of what you said (especially the being overwhelmed thing) I guess I must be an HSP as well! Nice to see you back btw 😊
I don't think a lot of people have! I'd highly recommend Elaine's book - there's so many aspects to the trait and it'll teach you so much about yourself that you may not have been aware of 🙌🏽
Thanks Ellie really great to have you back...missed your video's...Regarding HSP I do really believe I am in some instances..but not all...I don't like confrontation..I guess I would stick up more for a friend or a family member more than I would for myself..I don't know why I just would always been the way...I am amazingly sensitive when it comes to animals...I love them with all my heart..the joy I get from them is amazing...But the hurt I get when I see or even just hear about something bad happening to one..breaks my heart...I can't watch any animal video's just in case anything happens to them..I used to watch a rescue video and a few years ago they rescued this cat...but it didn't survive...I didn't know this cat personally..but my heart thought it did and I couldn't stop thinking about this cat for about 2 weeks..I didn't want to go to sleep in case I had dreams about it dying..I cried all day long just thinking about it...jeepers I am crying now just remembering it..I only saw it on the program for 2 days but I loved it so much..I don't know if that is HRP or just being silly...To me it's me and if it means I don't watch animal video's anymore I won't...I've has so many dreams about winning millions of £££££ and used it to save all animals...I even dreamt that I convert 4 buses one each for England Ireland Scotland & Wales into mobile vets that toured the country helping people who couldn't afford vet bills...In my head I had 2 vets and 3 nurses on each bus all funded by the interest I got on the stack of cash I had..so all treatment was free...Have you any idea how unhappy I was when I woke up the next morning to find it wasn't true...I have this dream of saving all animals who need help all the time...Even driving round in a van with lots of timber and when I see a horse in a boggy field...I build it a stable so it can be safe...I never kill a fly or a spider I just get them to go outside...I feed the pigeons where I live...One day one of the neighbours told me to stop doing it as they were vermin...and I so felt the need to protect them...I asked the neighbour if they eat...they said of course...so I asked how they got their food...so they said they buy it from the shop...So I asked do you feel privileged that you were born a human so you are able to do that kind of thing..they never answered...So I said what if you had been born a pigeon..and the pigeon had been born a human...would you like them to treat you like you suggest...no reply...but I felt the need to stand up for the pigeon...sorry about this going on...I do have other things that I feel I am very sensitive to also a big one is Taylor Swift haters who have never even met her...But If I started on that I would be here just a long as the animals...Any way thaks for returning...take care stay safe
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I feel the exact same way about animals. They are only ever trying to survive and people that kills spiders and don’t feed pigeons, I just can’t understand. I feel the same way with people who don’t like rats. They’re just living creatures trying to get by. I definitely agree with you on Taylor haters also! Thanks for the support 🤟🏼
Hi Ellie! This summer has been ROUGH on my emotions; a bunch of family issues took hold where I've been wondering if I've just been a "sensitive guy" for the sake of things. I'm glad to relate to someone who's been not exactly alright as of late, thank goodness! Thank you for the video!! :)
Hey Travis! I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a difficult summer and I hope everything works itself out real soon. Don’t let anyone make you feel that you’re “too sensitive” because there’s no such thing. Every single person on this planet holds different qualities and tolerances for dealing with things. Our ‘kind’ also has the ability to connect with others on a different level, so always remember that ☺️
Lovely video, I really enjoyed the format and am happy to see you posting again! As a fellow HSP I resonated with a lot of what you said. Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on highly sensitive people and music? I've always found it so odd that tiny noises like chewing and computer mouse clicking drive me insane and yet I LOVE going to the loudest concerts imaginable. I wonder if HSP's are drawn more strongly to music, almost as a way to drown out the intense sensory input that we get from our environment.
Completely agree with this! As an HSP I connect with particular types of music more in terms of my emotional response than other people would. I actually make an effort to listen to music that makes me feel this way, as I think it’s a comfort to be able to feel raw emotions. On your other point, I also hate certain sounds such as a tap dripping or clock ticking, especially if those sounds are there when I’m trying to sleep. 😩
Glad you’re back and loved the vid, found you from the Wolf Alice vid! ☺️
Glad to have you here! Thank you for the support 🙌🏼
