- Drama queens, crybabies, whiners, wet blankets - Highly Sensitive People (HSP) have been labelled all of these things and more, when the truth is, there’s a lot of things most people fail to understand about the concept. HSP was originated by Dr. Elaine N. Aron (1996), and it refers to an inherent, biological predisposition some people have to process and perceive information on a much deeper level. If you’re an HSP, then you think and feel things with greater intensity, in a way that many others can’t understand. Sometimes, HSP are mistaken as empaths. Do you know someone who might be an HSP? Do you agree with these signs?

If you could be one animal for a day, what would you be and why?
I would be a penguin and cause, I would like to swim in the water with my adapted waterproof feathers and flippers. #penguins
A dog, to be independent from humans! #dogs
a robin.. coz I wana be a smart beautiful flying being!
A dragon
A crow, so I can finally feed off dead bodies without being suspicious!You...you guys do that too right?
The downside: Being a magnet for unstable, damaged, and emotionally draining people 😭😭
My thought as well, lol. My therapist told me to think more of myself. You are not responsible to pick up every draining person. Be healthy. :)
thats what i was thinking .,.
Lol same
Yup, I can confirm that XD I'm an iman for psychopaths, narcisist and all kind of toxic shit
This hits me so much tho.. tearing up a bit but im gonna hide it lol.
I hate when people call me """toO seNsitiVE". I think it's better to be sensitive than being an emotionless rock
Yesss
Im somehow seen as both..😡🤬
100% agree. I never understand why some people are so numb - like they don’t even notice obvious smells, noises, etc. I would rather be sensitive and aware of what is going on around me.
ikr :
Others think I am emotionless rock, but my sister knows I am very sensitive
"why are you crying?"
*"i don't know"*
Very relatable, though society stamped that out of me in teenager-hood
I blame agriculture.
It do be hit hard if the case on males..
"dude why are you crying?"
Me : "i dont know"
"are you a girl or something?"
@@Nick-tz3ke deyum why do I feel the pain when I'm a female-
I feel like It would hurt like a brick ;(
Sorry you had to go through that
@@RSIALVR well society makes us look weak when we're crying..
So that's why we're trying so hard to not get emotional..
And for hsp males,, it can be tough to keep their emotion under the radar..
@@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-
1. sensitive
2. Self-aware
3. You're more empathetic
4. You're a great listener
5. You're a good mediator
6. You're creative
7. You're passionate
8. You value integrity
9. You live life to the fullest
10. You are one of a kind
Thank you so much. God bless ya
The typical Librans have most of these traits.
Thanks
@@tula__ lmao I’m both libra and HSP
I’m so sorry but I never got to see your message. And if you are referring to me then you have indeed un-bottled my genie. As you have exactly covered most of what makes me tick.
10 strengths of Highly Sensitive Person
"Number 1, you're sensitive"
Yes lol.
Unicorn Pizza I was like, no shit lmao
2. You're a person

“You are special” *cries*

Love you all❤❤❤
Little Nightmare youre so sweet :’)
@@cherierose356 aww thanks you too!❤
The hardest part is when people told you something and brush it off as jokes when it literally hurts your feelings. You can't help but to cry for days.
Dammmm sure
Really true
Yeah I feel that 😞
Yes it's true😞
Right 😅
It's hard being a man that's highly sensitive. It's hard to connect with other dudes, I find myself very lonely sometimes being like this.
I'd love to date another HSP, we'd have an understanding.
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.
Same man...
@@DoubleOhSilver those traits are neither feminine nor masculine - they are human. It's the patriarchal society that "tells" us that those traits are "more feminine". But bro, I see, there ist no fast escape but to explain this situation 😒
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.

Exactaly!😭😂
Another thing that is really important for HSP is to avoid negative online or offline content. We are Highly sensitive. So we must watch emotionally nourishing and uplifting content all the time. Things like violence and disasters can really get to us.
I take social media breaks for this reason
Same here, I’ve learned to stop clicking on negative content because it legit just depresses me for the rest of the day. If I watch something like TwoSetViolin’s skits or Dan Povenmire, I’m much happier lol
And I like comedies like the Goldbergs, honestly Adam is so relatable in that show
@@DoofenSpyroDragon16 Love the Goldbergs! And miss The Middle. I can so relate to Brick
HSP's tend to become people pleasers until they really get the whole view of how people can operate indifferent to others feelings.
Thank you for your comment. Very profound, at least for me! Thanks again.
yes so true...
Yes true. I've just encountered something and my whole world view on emotions has changed. All this while I was so caught up, but now I certainly feel more free and controlled as far as my emotions go.
Wow please explain, I want to know more because I feel I am stuck
"Your uniqueness is not your weakness" Thank you so much Psych2go, that's a healing one ❤
You spelled Psych2Go wrong but it's fine, won't judge, just happy for you. ^^

man said psycho2go🥴
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
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.
I deal with the same thing!
Lynx Star & David Chon you both brought up great points I can relate to. Arguments, disagreements, criticism, debating...it all feels so personal and destructive to my aura. Comment sections aren’t usually a sanctuary for me but I am enjoying reading everyone’s reflection and how we all relate.
Yeah
Oof I take criticism so personally but I hate giving out criticism unless I'm annoyed as I don't want to offend anyone
My sister is an HSP and I love her more than anything. The depth of her emotional world has always left me in awe.
HSPs rock
As an HSP, thanks, you rock too!
🧡🧡🧡
Im hsp thanks for those words and you rock too miss/mister
Hi I’m glad your sister has some one that understands her I’m hsp and it has good sides and bad sides nothing worse when you have some one that’s picks up your trait and takes advantage love your sister ❤️
Beautiful comment, your sister is lucky to have you!! It's difficult to find people that appreciate our depths, since we struggle with it ourselves sometimes..
Video: "You live life to the fullest!"
Me who doesn't leave my room besides going to work: 😅
Asdfshgsjshkahks same
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
Lol same 😂
@@glitchmeister1177 I do it more as a defense mechanism. I feel safer if I'm alone in my room. Anytime I go anywhere else in the house and my family is home, I just get my PTSD triggered. So I sit in my room and either sleep or escape mentally by watching stuff online.
@@glitchmeister1177 but i don't want to do this. I'm just not allowed to go out
"You live life to the fullest"
Yeah. Full of depression and anxiety. I can barely be "present"
Well, it's even more difficult in quarantine. But I have my hopes up to go out and live my life to the fullest!
I understand. It's hard to do at first but learn to get out of your own head and just be in the moment. Feel your feel your feelings without acting on or reacting to them. At least this has helped me from killing myself. I hope it will work for you.
You, me, and many other HSP. Not sure why such a broad stroke was included in this vid.
Tyso exactly.....
Yes. Depression, burnout, and still feeling everyone's pain.
I was let go in my previous job as a pediatric oncology nurse because i cry when a patient dies. Because of it, they labeled me sensitive. How can you lose your humanity to not cry over a precious life that we lost?
That's what makes u strong u vauled those who died it's a gift I would find it extremely hard if I had to do palative care more people should be Kinder to one another in don't get people that are cruel.😳
Ooo noo 😯 how would i be able to become a doctor then ??
Become a self-employed private carer. Nobody can sack you when you cry because you don't have a boss. That's what I am, it's very liberating to choose your own nice clients and show emotion when you fancy. The families love me for that, my crying shows I loved their late mum/grandma too. I'm the MOST caring Carer ever and I'm proud of that x
You re so kind🤗
@@ashokhkumar7350 today, kindness is insanity.
"Your uniqueness is not your weakness." Oh I need that. Thanks a lot!!
People around me always told me "you are way too sensitive" "stop being so sensitive!" And once I cried infront of my best friend told her "why.. why am I like this" it makes me feel better when I know now that there is people that can understand me. I always hated myself for thinking about stuff too deeply and too much, I still do but I try to love myself more. Ily guys, stay strong
I hate being called too sensitive and you need to get thick skin
I am just like you. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is like this.
Yah in the long run you have analyze and understand your self. You just need self acceptance.
@@tamika1014 me too, we're not alone!
Whenever you cry just think about jimin...
He should make you happy.... Sometime people they are close to our heart Or touched our heart can make us keep going...
I've always been a HSP. I cry whenever, when I'm happy, sad, angry, frustrated, etc. I want to stop showing it to people but it's hard. And people can be very mean.
I'm sensitive towards people's behaviours and emotions. I can tell what you're feeling and act accordingly.
I don't know people don't understand that it's not a bad thing. I don't know why they don't let people express their emotions. But if you're one of us, know it's not wrong of you to be like this.
Yes, exactly! Sometimes it's frustating to feel these waves of emotions when people around you couldn't care enough! And sometimes, or most of the time ( in my case ), express less is better than expressing your feelings at all. And it's kinda stressful ngl. 😌
Agree👍
I dont really know if that counts but I usually laugh a lot a that people think I exaggerate and I cry when people are quite mean.
Ayeeee HSP gang 😎
High five ✋🙏
oh my gosh! Thank you! I'm an HSP and that made me feel sooooooo much better about myself!
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 was usually singled out the most by my parents and siblings as the "punching bag" of the family because it was extremely easy to get a reaction from me through physical and emotional abuse. 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 (among other indicators that might apply to the vast majority of people with this 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 inspire you 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 still alive. 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.
I grew up the same way... tho i was taken from my bionarcissists(ya BOTH bio parents are/were narcissists lovely eh?) & raised by bio fathers younger sister & her husband..1st year of my life frankly im lucky i made it that year! At 6 my drunken fall down f in the ass bio father told me who i really was & LET THE GASLIGHTING BEGIN! NO1 gave me answers for shit, few years later the Dad(uncle) that raised me started beating the snot out of me.. it got witnessed by outsiders & teported i was made the 1 in the wrong. So my 9 yr old self realized there was no help, no1 gave a flyin shit. My 10 year old self made her 1st suicide attempt. My bio parents tried killing me, ive tried, exhusband tried, ive been shot, stabbed, 3 serious car accidents..i was always a passenger, & diagnosed with cancer.. Ive jad 3 families..my bio family, adopted family & had 3 sons of my own & each one was destroyed & taken away from me. IVE LITERALLY been seperated from my own kids for 22 yrs & was 'allowed' nearly 10 together split in 2, 8yrs together & 17 yrs apart & fate alloted me a mere taste for close to 4 yrs of having a small taste of 'normalcy', beforefate stepped in ince again..at the same time I received my cancer diagnosis.
Repeatedly being told 'life is what u make it' when every step u make to move ur way 8nto a life that u only get to watch everyone around u have.
I only knew 2 emotions.. anger & EMPATHY.. sympathy & empathy are NOT the same.. I DONT have sympathy.. couldnt give a flying shit, I DO however have EMPATHY ONLY for those that are worthy of my emparhy..children, creatures, vulnerable people that didnt bring their vulnerability onto themselves. I DO NOT cry unless Im alone, i was never able to show weakness because then Id be preyed on or somebodys punching bag, I didnt have a startle response up until about 8 months ago... to acheive that I moved myself into the middle of nowhere, kept to myself for 12 yrs had very limited contact with anything, everything & everyone aside from my 2 cats & 2 dogs. Had 1 of my buddies(i dont actually have human friends my cat & dog are my friends because theyre everything humans provwn me that humans cant be..loyal)catch me off guard..i jumped about 3 ft high & he nearly got K.Oed! Im not liking the startle response crap of all things daye could return to me a startle respinse is definitely not in the top 10 FOR SURE!
I am sensitive, almost to a psychic degree, nor being able to show or feel any emotions growung up, not being permitted positive bonding with anyone, neing abused mentally physically emotuonally i never learned how to regulate my emotions... i also dont like being touched or crowded.. 'Reactive Attachment Disorder' made me a bery unique mother of 3 young boys. I foyght luke HELL so they wete able to learn it was ok to FEEL, to cry if ur sad, feel secure if ur scared ect ect..& those boys were well behaved well adjusted smart caring pilite boys.. that grew into well adjusted productive members of society.
JUST BY THE GOOD GRACES of the only luck U have..longevity.. I figure im either immortal or the freaking antichrist with my ability to escape death as much as i have!
I WANT U TO KNOW that I yave a good undrstanding of EXACTLY what u have gone thru, people like us are here for a reason..not sure what it is but its gotta be good humanity changing shit with all the life lessons & pain weve endured.. our exsistances may be lonely & heartbreaking but DONT EVER GIVE UP BEING U.. BECAUSE UR BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL & NEEDED by the rest of us when our calling calls..!
OMG, your story is heartbreaking... but please don't ever think it's too late for you!! If you're breathing, it's not too late to start healing! Now that you know why you are the way you are, you've already taken the first step. There's nothing wrong with you, you are a unique beautiful person created by God!! Please don't give up on yourself! Get help, learn to love yourself as you are, and use your experience to help others who are going through hard things like you did. People need to know that they are not alone. I wish you peace, love, acceptance..❤❤🙏
It's never too late man, you can do this ,I believe in you❤
Your story is so heartbreaking.. I'm an HSP and I am grateful to have grown up in a mostly-healthy household. I'm sorry you had that experience, that is truly and wholeheartedly awful. I am so sorry. Please, please don't give up. Your abuse doesn't define you, and your path doesn't end here. It is not too late for you❤️
Don’t lose hope for healing! It has taken a long time but I have finally found peace and security after a childhood similar to yours. I hope your healing has begun and you find happiness!💕
This made me feel appreciated, loved, valued and worthy. And definitely made me feel proud of being an HSP ❤
I second that! Thank you So much for this video!

@@Psych2go Love the question ... and waiting for the answer !!!
Lucky you! Im very happy for you to find someone trully understands you :')
Psych2Go I didn't stop telling myself I was worth it and that it would only be a matter of time. And I was truly myself, giving others the chance to understand me.
My bff is a HSP like me but she moved :(
"Confrontation is likely to make you feel uncomfortable"
Me 24/7
I'm the brave one in my friend group but this is where one of my besties is braver than me as they confronted someone who had hurt another one of my friends and I hate confrontation and I'm shy
Sameee you could tell me to go ask someone a simple question or something and I’ll start crying
Me, me, mE
I'm an HSP who grew up in a confrontational household. I get hyped watching others in confrontation but am so used to it that I can't help but attack bullies or anyone messing with my few friends or fam.
It's best when you're (as an HSP) the one to confront. You'll know how to bring things up in a non-aggressive/sensitive way. With time and practice, you'll find yourself being confrontational in a good way, taking the lead so others don't have to start problems.
My bf always complain to me..."why you always crying..you are too sensitive"
I'm so happy to have a lot of sensitive friends here..
Sorry my english bad

*sees the animated character cry*
Me: imma bout to cry y’all
I literally started crying after I can't-
Thats true empathy right there. I couldnt do it even if i wanted to
You too? But why? Me too
bruh im tearing up now 🥺
I remember when I cried at one of psych2go videos becouse they animated a crying person
When you said "So you can't stand injustice" I literally dropped my phone and started crying. Because in my old School I did try to help some of my classmates if they where bullied, I couldn't STAND that. There where no justice.
I feel you there!! Though I almost never have seen bullying go on, I have noticed that I get really heated and upset when I read/hear about injustices
Also hope u r ok :)
@@phoenixthings Yes, i'm fine, but if I hear something that maybe I have, I just start to cry. And if you want to ask how do I know that, well I have Asperger and every time my mom talked about it with someone I started crying.
I was actually bullied in school because of being a HSP (I had no idea at that time what it was). And instead of becoming a mean person, I became an even nicer person. Some think I'm fake but I just feel all these things at such a deep level.
Kíra Tóth i just realized I am and I’m constantly being labeled as complicated or argumentative 🥺
Kíra Tóth ..I would agree. It was so bad for one guy that I went to school with that he has to leave. Terrible...
I can sense when my mom comes home in a bad mood, so it automatically makes me like 30% most sensitive and if she says something in even an even moderately angry tone I’m like “o-Oka-Y” and go to my room and cry in a ball under my covers.
I love being an HSP. Sometimes it can be a lot, but it helps me out with my daily life and even my job. I would rather feel so much than feel nothing at all.
Great list, as always!
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.
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.
Um thank you...
@Mariyeen Acheege I found out I was adopted, now I no longer feel like a freak cos my bio cuz I found online is exactly like me :))
Yes!!!
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.

THANK YOU for this! All my life my "sensitivity" has been viewed as a weakness and something I've been ashamed of. HSPs do a lot of good that goes unrecognised and unappreciated.
I'm shy at first but then when u get to know me im very loud n out going

[]That Feeling When[]
• Somebody breaks down crying in your face
• When you watch a child get harassed or hurt in a movie or video
• Knowing that a friend recently lost their loved one..
These feelings, I can’t stand...
Oh my, I cry more than the actual person. I do remember recently My best friend's cousin had bone cancer and when she told me my heartbeat went crazy, I started to lose my appetite and in the I was about to faint. Whenever we talked on phone I remember rather than her, my voice starts to crack. I had to make her strong but instead, I start to cry with her. I wonder sometimes why am I this way
minu taetae I’m so sorry for you hope you’re doing okay now...
Yeah me too
Those good feelings when.
A pet gets reunited with their human companion.
A family who had lost so much, now have a new home bright future.
When child shares literally anything with somone in need.
I'm still crying even when a beautiful things are happening.
minu taetae oh god I understand that sm😩 the last point from the original comment is literally me. It feels good to see I’m not the only one who does that 🥺💔
This made me cry tears of joy! I am proud to be an HSP❣ THANK YOU❣
HSPs feel deeply, they truly know emotions. They are rare and yes, best friend material.
I think Professor Charles Xavier is HSP. He know how’s it like to be in pain emotionally. Soft hearted, gentle and calm. He cares about mutants and humans. He is sensitive and empathetic. Charles is a good listener. Which is why he is the best emotional support for Magneto and Wolverine. One of the few Characters that Logan respects.
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. He believed in them from the start, and they grew to carry his hope forward because they themselves found reasons to trust in it.
This was so helpful. All my life, I’ve been told “You’re so sensitive” and it hurts a lot. But this video really inspired me to love myself for who I am. Thank you.
Me too, I thought it was Something bad and I needed to change because things affect me so much, but now I know its a good thing!
I love the channel
SAME ! Or I have been told that I’m too nice or to soft and sensitive and dramatic like once or twice but still i hate it uhhhhh😔 it also doesn’t help that I’m a little 💀 but I LOVE YOU ALL ✨💕
Me too man.
It's very very good!
This reminded me a particular day, when I was in middle school, when my class went to this beautiful wood near our city, for a trip.
I was amazed by the nature, the sky, all my senses were in harmony with that place, while some of my classmates (they also bullied me through those years) were like "They're just trees". Gosh, I felt so different
Comments like "they're just trees", "it's just a game", "you know that film character isn't real, right", "why are you so happy" might hurt even more than "stop being a crybaby". But being passionate is the start of so many great things and feelings, it's a pity some people look down on it.
@@annafaelens true... They made me feel wrong, like I had to stop being so enthusiastic for little things. But now I love being passionate, and I love passionate people
Anna Faelens god I relate to that so hard.
ME ALL THE TIME. always really taking things in. we're enjoying the "little" things and they keep us grounded
I needed to hear some "positive" things about being an HSP today. I'm very glad I found this content & this online group. At 52, I never knew what to call this side of my personality. So nice to know its not just me being weird or defective like I've thought for so long. Thank you all for being open & discussing things on here. Take care of yourselves. ✌❤
There's nothing wrong in being an hsp. I'm a 15-year-old teen and I value sensitivity. I listen, I observe, I empathise, I'm good. I used to think that something is wrong with how deeply I feel and take an insight into things but I've now realised that it's my biggest strength. I look into things on a much deeper level and that is my thing.
Yes it’s hsp ❤️
It's incredible how wise and brave you are at this age. At your age, I was desperate to be ordinary, not to be different. Now I'm 21 and just started to realize it's okay to be different. It's okay to be an HSP.
I wish I be like you when I'm 15
I might never help people hurt my own feeling and being MDD
@@FattyKung I know how it feels my friend
Ur so wise at such young age ❤ I’m 27 and just starting to fully realize I am a HSP…all those past times when I tried to tailor to other people and felt so tired….
I feel like I'm an HSP that has been so beaten down by life, I've just became cold and distant from other people.
same👍
Same here. I do think I am an HSP, but I think I've lost most parts of my personality due to depression and trauma. Now I just feel so numb and cold most of the times.
Same same same. I've had to deal with so many emotional vampires that I've become misanthropic and can't bring myself to care about people and their problems anymore. Humanity is exhausting.
I turned off the sympathy switch and can tune people out when I need to. I had to do it out of self-protection.
Me too but i get stronger without them by myself im aware of my self thats why i value it more than anything else dont care about fame or form or money just inner peace and loving my self makes me over those ppl so idc about them seems selfish maybe but i dont hurt ppl
I tried to explain it once: "I don't think you would survive 5 minutes in my body, my feelings are just so strong."
I say this all the time 😃
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.
Thank you for talking about the strengths of an HSP often being an HSP feels like a curse. Particularly when being sensitive is considered a weakness by most. I strongly believe the world would be a much kinder and better place if people were more sensitive and empathetic towards others.

Aww, this is beautiful, thank you. Are you an HSP too?
*t h a n k y o u*
Leah - · - yup
I needed this today. Thank you :’)
You know you're an HSP when that makes you cry
Growing up, I was called a “whiner,” “too sensitive,” etc. I think I am an HSP; however, I don’t have all of the traits in this video. I think I’m not very in tune with myself, and I don’t really live life to the fullest.
Well, thx to therapists, I know I'm an HSP, and.. well, I don't have those two traits either lol
Im very similar. However, I think if your doing what you want comfortably and happily, then your living YOUR life the fullest. You dont have to jump out of airplanes to live life to the fullest. Everyones 'Full' is different
Perhaps you haven't developed those two traits now but you still can ! (I didn't say it'll be easy though but you can learn it).
@@plumereveuse5183 or maybe some people are who they are and cant or wont learn certain traits because its not in their nature. I understand you're trying to be helpful and encouraging but why cant we just accept people for who they are
@@zozoplans It's not a question of accepting people for who they are. Of course this is something that we should all do. But I don't think being in tune with oneself and living life to the fullest are things that are innate. However, those are "traits" that are correlated with happiness. When you know what you really want and try to live accordingly, then you're happier. I just made people aware that they can try to learn the traits if they want. Perhaps they will need (professional) help, perhaps not. But I didn't say they were obliged to do it. If they are satisfied with their life as it is, then great ! I'm not saying they should change. Sorry for the potential mistakes, English isn't my first language.
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!
I’m an HSP, and this was a helpful and uplifting video for me. Thank you. ☺️
I’m an HSP, but I tend to give others what I cannot posses, a shoulder to cry on, a person that listens you. But I just want the world around me to be happy not like me: Moderate-Severe depression, Social Anxiety, anxiety, and a having a mini breakdown
Oh dear
Can relate. I used to be like that alot and it turned into an addiction, a co-dependancy situation of me and another person. It's a good trait to "be the change you want to see in the world" like if you have faced many hardships and being alone and friendless, being a person that gives struggling people an ear to vent to once in a while or give them some advice that you wish someone else had told you when you were younger... But don't let it become your entire life. You are worthy to better your own life, if you give all your time to try to fix someone elses life you will 1: Put your own life on hold and never get better. 2: make the other person lazy so they don't want to try to fix their own life.
But also don't just lend out your ear and sympathy to just anyone, that's how you attract leeches. People have to prove to you first they are a good decent person too so the friendship is beneficial for the both of you. It shouldn't be one sided. These days I'm way more choosy of what people I give my time to. I will wait a long time before I feel like I can trust someone and call them a friend. People that try to force being my friend super quickly makes me show my iron thorns because my safety is more important than if someone perceives me as a bitch. That exact scenario happened to me just a couple of weeks ago at work and said colleague got super butthurt just because I told them "no". I'm done being a people pleaser. I'm learning to embrace being a bitch without feeling guilty about it. That is my goal.
Is it just me, or whenever You get called on in class to say or give the answer, and get it wrong, you start tearing it up because you feel like everyone is judging you & you feel embarrassed?
Just me? Okay 😔✌️
Edit: my mom told me my breath stinks and I just had a breakdown ;-;
No, not just you. I felt like that too and i feel so pressured. After that day i never answered again
omg yes! 🥺🥺
I have that much anxiety that i wont even ask to go to the bathroom
I also have that problem back when I was in school.
That is so me i finally found someone like me and yeah i also have breakdowns when people even some friend and family say stuff like i have a bad breath but i haven't have breakdowns for bad breaths yet
This video changed my views of myself. My whole life, I was told my feelings and acuteness to my emotions made me weak, emotionally unstable and a crybaby/drama queen. Thank you for showing us HSPs how needed we are in the world and how the way I am is not a weapon, but a gift to be embraced, esteemed and celebrated.
I started to tear up when I heard her refer to us as emotionally gifted. I always wanted to feel special
I’m so glad to be an HSP cause when I have children I can be a good mother

I had a hard time growing up as Hsp. Its an incredible feeling to watch this video and also look through the comment section, seeing so many other people feeling the same way. Its nice to know that I am not alone with this. Thank you.
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.
ok lets be honest how many of us cry when see this. its so heartwarmingggg
Wow, i wasnt sure if i was the only😅😅
My internet is down so i cant even watch. I can only see comments 💁🏻♀️. The videos just "load."

"Sensitivity is a gift" *cries*

Ahh what a great timing. Just when I was starting to feel a bit sensitive in my feelings.
What did you take out from this video?
@@Psych2go Lots of, more appreciation & acceptance into this side about myself. So thank you for creating it, and sharing such content's insight. 💜💜
I’m 63 years old. I recently found out I’m a HSP. It really made a lot of my past become clear. Everything I had experienced now made sense. I tried to let my grown kids understand and my spouse. I was met with such resistance it was mind boggling. I was labeled now . Moms crazy. She’s so sensitive.....etc. the shell I was slowly emerging from, well I went back in very quickly. Today is my 40th anniversary. 40!!!!! Yet the only recognition I got was a brief “happy anniversary “ from my spouse as he made his way to the coffee pot. It hurts so bad. I’ve made a decision. I have to leave before I’m just a shadow in my own existence. I’m an HSP! And that’s ok!
I'm so sorry 😞
I'm glad you know you don't have to accept being treated that way. You deserve so much better. I hope you've found a better life.
I'm 65 and was unaware of HSP. It's good to know I'm not alone. I was married to an abusive man for 25 years. Not physical but verbal and emotional. No affection, put down a lot, cheating..etc. He planned leaving me for 10 years without me knowing. He lied to our daughter and his family about me. I have health issues so he planned making it my fault so no one would know what a cruel man he was. My daughter cut me out of her life. It breaks me every day. I have 2 sons as well. I hope and pray you find happiness.
I'm sorry you hurt. I found out in my early 50s I am an HSP. First realization- I am not crazy! So much of being criticized for was my sensitive response to being overwhelmed, and no one around me growing up got that.
Second, after living with this knowledge, as much as it is painful, I cut out family members who just continued to use me for their emotional crutch. I stopped enabling them. They can still be saying negative things about me, lie about me, but do I really need that? It's hard to let some family members go, there is a deep grief, of what can not be, but my life is so much calmer, letting myself be me. Pray for you to find peace.
Hi, we all deserve to be treated well. It's a life-long process to find the people that you are REALLY comfortable with. I will be 57 in december. There is hope. Best wishes from A.
I've always been called "dramatic", "sensitive", or a cry baby. I react strongly to things people may not see as a big deal at all, be it good or bad. It's nice to know that there are others like me, and that I was blessed with this gift. I will try my best to remember I am special and it's okay to feel the way I do! I also hope to pass this on to anybody I meet who might fit this description.
I get happy easily,sad easily and I can’t forgot my past where i was comfortable is this the same case with you? Maybe i am not able to express what i exactly pls reply
Plus-- I am so forgiving and I didn’t had any feeling of revenge for someone.
i feel exactly what u feel i dont ket go of the moments in my past that gave me comfort i cry easily too
This is so me! You help me out of many problem in a few minutes. I feel blessed now instead of weird as I felt of my few exfriends who gone because they are not HSP. I can understand their decisions more, but also mine:) Thank you a lot!
"Your uniqueness is not weakness" 💞💞💞
❤❤❤
Thank you for posting this. Actually, after knowing I'm an HSP, I started to love myself and embrace my uniqueness. Before, I was told why I'm hard to understand and why I'm so sensitive. But then I realized, it's their defense mechanism to blame me as a sensitive person rather than think what they have done. I'm different but I'm not always the wrong one.
Wencee Khyeir Tinapan so true! It happens to me as well.
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
So much is so clear now.
I am great at my job of counselling and helping patients diagnosed with a difficult condition, just over the phone.
To me this is the easiest role and o totally enjoy this.
I 'get' their mood, fears, vibe, style and adapt my help as needed.
I have had countless compliments and gratitude from these people.
I am always surprised by it, as it is so easy, so i don't understand why they are so grateful.
After seeing this clip, it is starting to make sense.
I did not realise i have this innate skill.
I thought this is something you just train to do.
I always also wondered why some other people don't enjoy these kind of jobs, or are don't achieve the same results.
However, i also totally experience the downside of this character trait.
I am indeed over sensitive to so much.
A slight harsh tone, a criticism, a joke that is s bit dubious, work emails that are a bit too direct, definitely all conflicts (whether with me or between other people), funerals are truly awful for me (even if i did not know the person that well).
I totally relate to bottling things up, suffering and then exploding.
Mostly i get depressed however, or totally withdraw, instead of acting on it.
As a child, i suffered immensely from arguments between my parents, injustice, selfishness.
I left my family behind, as fast as i could, and now really realise why.
It was not necessarily to be independant asap, but also to avoid the hurts.
It is really hard to go through life like this.
Especially not knowing you have this 'tendency'.
I always thought i just have to increase my resilience to situations and people.
On the one hand, it is a great skill, on the other, a real disability.
I just resigned from my job, as could no longer take the criticism and nasty comments.
Feel devastated, unappreciated and totally mistreated.
How do we protect ourselves?
How do we ensure we don't get abused?
I feel so strongly about this aspect.
Thanks for reading this everyone.
Gather your strength, your pride and self respect, know you are a wonderful caring person.
But make sure you protect yourself.
I guess, every time we get upset, we could just decide to 'downgrade' the level of hurt, knowing that we react too much?
Same as when people advise to 'take things with a pinch of salt' ?
We just need a bucket of salt?
Take good care everyone ❤
I've been a HSP for almost 3 months now and because of it, I'm on the verge of losing my best friend and some other good friends of mine. 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 ..
N00bStArDamuS
I too am HSP, but that solely does not mean neither you and I should give up. I think as Highly Sensitive people, we both know that we are beautiful on the inside, and that's what matters! 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. But I know that someday, one of the 7 billion people in our world with understand you with all their heart and they will give you the same treatment back. I know I've found that someone, and I guarantee you will too!
Stay safe
❤️
Your kind of unlucky you have only had it for 3 months i have had it my hole life and i have depression because of it im used to having it now but your not used to it so just remember life gets hard but you can push through :)!
I really just wish I could meet another HPS as one myself, so I can feel the warm arms hugging me when everything if the tower collapses. It’s not easy being a HPS but I’m sure one day we will be able to feel the same aura we give off to other yet see the positive end of it.
@@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.
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
"No HSP will ever live out their days half asleep." I am living proof of this statement being false. The fact that I don't live my life to the fullest is one of the reasons I now have depression. Probably. Maybe. I'm constantly coming up with various reasons for why I feel the way I do.
You're not alone with this. I just cant stop smoking weed in order to fight half of the traits described, as its often too much for me... which leads to an even greater feeling of depression, as I am not living my life to the fullest. Oh well...
I know things are hard but know that you have the power to change that. You have control over who you are and what you do. I know that is both terrifying and liberating as a concept as you have to take responsibility for everything you do, but it's also a gift. You have power and control. You can do anything you want to, it just takes inner strength which you do have, it's just a matter of finding it. Baby steps are still steps. Hope ya'll are doing okay and hope what I said made sense and wasn't attacking or judgemental seeming. I have been there and am there still in part, life is rough but also beautiful. Good luck (:
edit: I do not in any which way mean this as a way to blame yourself for when you don't do well or don't achieve what you want. If you don't try you are guaranteed to not succeed, but in trying you will fail-that's just apart of it (aka: you will f up, you will not work as hard as you wanted to, you will have lapses and that's great because it means you are trying, which means you are going forward). Also this stuff is incredibly hard and honestly people around you will probably never understand how hard-but that doesn't matter, it's about you and you got this. I felt this comment may have been a little brutal as it's how I talk to myself (when I am most upbeat lol), hence the edit, I hope it hasn't been a source of negativity for anyone. All the best to everyone, I hope life is kind to you all.
@@ameliafoster-kane7601 Everything you’re saying is so inspiring and a simple truth thank you for the encouragement especially acknowledging baby steps are actions we take proving how liberating it is to have free will and for myself I have become aware that I haven’t been giving myself enough credit but instead formed a mindset of perfectionism that has been so damaging to the essence of my true self. Thank you again for sharing ❤️
@@Latifahh15 Thank you for letting me know that my words made a little sense and were hopefully a little comforting. Happy to hear that you are making progress in how you treat yourself, I am guilty of the same but realising you aren't is half the battle. (Or so my very wise friend once told me.) Good luck on your journey and thank you for answering ☆ (this is the only comment I've ever made on youtube so it's nice to know it was a positive one)
Maybe look into hsps with complex trauma.
I do let myself get emotionally overwhelmed. I struggle with anxiety and depression. I struggle with self worth. I let people take advantage of me and hurt me emotionally.
I understand how you feel. I can totally relate to what you said. It must be quite upsetting and infuriating. I am sorry that you are going through that difficult experience.
As a sensitive person, I am someone who usually let other people disrespect me, take advantage of me which happened in the past.
You are stronger than you think. Don't let anyone tell u otherwise.
That’s me ☹️
I’m an HSP 💖 and this video is making me feel so much better. Everybody always tells me I’m too sensitive.
I realised my boyfriend fit the traits a while back and it turned out he had it. Ever since I’ve understood him a lot more, and i can agree that all these strengths are true. If y’all have an HSP in your life then make sure you’re being considerate & remember to appreciate them x
Thanks for thinking about us
Thankk youuu
Oh what a lucky man hope you stay togeather ❤️
I seriously thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. Lord knows we HSPs needed it XD
Thanks for the adorable and helpful lecture. This video is the only thing in the Earth I need at this time. The information and knowledge around me is mere about "how to not be emotional". I had been lying to myself for 10 years that I was not HSP, and I am more on the side of logical and cold path. Well, it was such an intense war between my ego and true self, I was drowned in the dark and quite empty space with self-neglect. It was uneasy to aware, understand and accept myself as an HSP. However, I can do it now and I can see sensitivity is the divine gift in my life. I must learn how to make the best out of it.
🌻🌸☺The lady whose nararrating sounds like an HSP💖
Omg I feel so confident know 😍
What are feeling confident about?
@@Psych2go lifeeee
Same I feel confident for like the first time
I've started to feel so confident about myself and my journey nowadays, this video boosted it up x1000!
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.
I feel you man, when you say being a sensitive is like a weakness cause I too was bully by friend even though i hang out with them but I never say anything to them cause I wanted to be their friend and I was a very care and kind person and also and HSP like in the video so people around me think I am strange and no want want to be friend with me and I was even bully by many people cause they think I was emotional less because I was quite .
Dj.D men that express their emotions and understand themselves are much sexier than those who don’t. Keep doing you and you’ll find those who accept you for yo
I feel you dude. People always treat me differently, and not in a positive way. Sometimes it's hard, cuz people have a hard time understanding us for who we are. And whoever said that there aren't enough guys like you is right! :)
I actually find that guys need to be more sensitive because that's what they generally lack and to be honest, what I dislike about them.
@@luciewang9790 It seems like sensitive men are more appreciated in countries other than the USA though.
I am so happy you made this video ..we HSPs are so much underrated to our ownselves that we forget how precious and needed we are in this world❤️ watching this video put a smile on my face whole time. I am accepting, appreciating, and loving myself more..thank you for making this video😊💕
Y am I crying? I don't know! At last someone spoke bout me (us). This video is incredible. ♥️
I haven't done a real test to know if i am a HSP but when you made a video about them a long time ago i related to a lot of them, but at the same time this is just a TH-cam channel and not real professionals (as you said) so idk, i'm gonna ask my therapist the next Friday
They are professional aided help, providing psychology animated video content online. :)
@@StephanieRZ they in a video said they are not professionals and should not take conclusions with their information, as a disclaimer
i wish i had a therapist to tell why I'm broken and how to unbreak myself :D (this was a joke, or the closest thing i can make to it)
@@literalyfish4370 oof I was getting worried
th-cam.com/video/KrjvYQs21Vg/w-d-xo.html This video is more helpful and accurate (it helped me), but going to the therapist is a great decision!

Thank you

I love you Psych2go
I never realised I was a HSP until I saw this video. I'm so used to having numb myself to the more negative emotions. It's not that I'm being dramatic but I love ocassionally being a bit more selfish and childish towards my bf so he takes care of me. It's tiring to just always be responsible but more often than not I like to behave "motherly" towards him too.
He understands where I'm coming from and I'm so grateful for that!! It's so cute when he expresses his needy side towards me... =×=♡
Best channel ever ! Every single topics match with me & every single time the videos gives me knowledge. Though these relatable contents bring tears, i wish my parents would have understood me this way ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Psych2go for these videos and programs🧡 🙏🏻 I think that I'm a little bit HSP person and it feels good to hear it's not a weakness. Best wishes from Finland.💜💚💜🌱💛 Päivi ☮️
I've always been very insecure of my sensitivity. everyone, myself included, portrayed it as a major flaw in my character- I've been particularly feeling bad over it for the last few months. this really cheered me up. thank you for your excellent work!
Being an hsp means crying cause this video described me in detail, finally understood 🥺
lilibeth ayala *hugs*
Same here :) Some kind of closure was achieved.
Yess, me too
I am happy bc now i understand me better haha before i hate myself bc i always Cried a lot, but now i know that it isn't bad being like this 🥺💫
If that's what it means, my therapist was wrong and I'm certainly not a HSP.
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.
Go read Elaine Aron's book !
My sensitivity always made me close to hating myself, as everyone around me always told me, "Stop overthinking. Stop being so sensitive about everything. Stop crying. You are going crazy. Your life will be better if you change." No matter how hard I tried to make myself to change, it never worked. Thinking something was wrong with me, I fell into deep depressions and locked up my emotions, which only made me angry and bitter. Now I know that it's because this is literally the way my nervous system is wired as a survival trait. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, I just need to be aware of how this can come across to other people who dont understand HSP. I'm tired of being what other people want me to be. I want to love myself again.

Stay strong my friend, it will get better...believe it. You are not alone as you can see in the comment section. You are loved ❤️
I love how your voice sometimes gets higher/deeper then really soft :)
The thing I mostly connected with was somebody crying or being angry at someone and I know the person that’s sad or angry it’s like there expression is going to me too like it’s spreading.
