I feel like most young people are in heard mentality. The do not care how they dress or groom or present themselves. They live in their square and are ignorant with no knowledge between their ears.
@Brooke Testi You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders especially for your age. Most are not aware of the electronics abuse. One can never have too much knowledge.
I feel u!! Everything has a diagnosis these days hahaha. Which is a good thing, it means its real and not attention seeking like many non hsps claim to make u look bad and pathetic. They just feel threatened bcuz we can read them and they dont like that haha
Thats because how highly these things are romanticized on the internet. For example this video, cutesy imagery and the wording puts it out as you must be the kindest very sensitive etc. Similar to mental illness on shows like Skins, Euphoria, 13 reasons why... everyone wants to be 'different.' In real life though, none of these things benefit you so people dont really show it. I wish the internet understood that while being highly sensitive, or an infj, it comes with alot of disadvantages(mental illnesses). Point is, you can always see how they really are in real life. That doesnt mean youre the 'odd' one though.
@@freyjacooper9082 In fairness though, I see the self-acclaimed hsp everywhere, look out for polar expedition kit jacket and beanie on a 15°C day, male, 20-something, 50 pound overweight, poorly shaved, fixed stare on their phone (of course).
Jokes on you, I still regret them anyway... Even after taking forever to decide.. beating myself up for having taken so long.. Couldve saved so much trouble and overthinking aaaa
Sigh the sad truth, my mom always gets sick of me whenever I take too long to choose between the simplest things and she always ends up deciding for me 😂
I recently spent like 5-10 minutes in front of the freezer at the grocery store deciding what flavor of ice cream to get. And people like that always used to annoy me when I worked at a grocery store and they were right where I needed to be lol.
As an HSP, I can tell that, whenever we fail, it feels like we’ve done something soooo bad, that we don’t even deserve love or any kind of good emotions. DON’T think that, you ALL deserve love, and try to get out of bad emotions naturally ❤️❤️❤️
I've struggled with that so much!! I don't know if I am an HSP but I certainly am pretty sensitive and react strongly especially something regarding my own value.. So I tend to perceive anything as to make me a failure or a bad person or less valuable and likeable even if it is not the case.. It took and still takes me a lot of development to be able to see the bigger picture and to value who I am but I am definitely making progress and I am able to distance from and to reflect more on my emotions wich makes me really happy.
The struggles of an HSP: ● Being called as "too sensitive" or "too soft" ● People won't understand you because they think your a freak ● A hard time finding friends because you and them have nothing in common ● Your parents being wierded out because you won't leave your room ● Having sympathy for people despite them having no sympathy for you
In a family therapy session once my abusive sister said "you need to stop being so sensitive!" and my therapist at the time stopped her and explained that some people are just more sensitive than others and I never felt so protected in my life.
If only someone were around to defend me like the therapist did for you. I NEVER had it, only the opposite. What a callous, ignorant remark! I would have said:" You need to shut up, and stop being so judgmental!"
Summary ^^ also great video!! 1. Experience deeper emotions 2. Have stronger reactions 3. Better at deciding things 4. Let grief linger in their heads 5. Better at perceiving details 6. Better at reading people and characters 7. Good at actively listening to others 8. Loving more deeply 9. Hating more passionately I hope you have a good day!
I always hear "you are too sensitive" as if it's meant to be an insult... my parents say it to me often. And often insist on me letting "it" (whatever it may be at the time) go; which isn't easy for people like us.
People be like: "just pull yourself together! life isn't always easy" and im like IM TRYING OK :'( Like, do people think I like crying and being miserable??
I think there are some (that don't feel the same way as we do) that are of the opinion that we DO like crying and being miserable. Just a thought. I wish they would consider for a moment that they could be mistaken.
Exactly, if it was so easy to "just pull yourself together" and shake everything off then nobody would ever have depression, anxiety or burnout or anything like that.
The most important thing is: highly sensitive people aren't damaged or weaker than other people. They have a SKILL! Took me a lot of time to actively notice all the helpful skills and personality traits that come along with my sensitivity. I used to think that these skills came naturally to everybody and that the challenges which are caused by sensitivity were my flaws. But sensitivity is a gift, not everybody can feel this way! So if you can experience passionate love, don't give it only to others - you should love yourself and your sensitivity too! You owe it a lot of good things which you may have overlooked:)
The first 20 years of my life I hardly knew what was going on around me. I was always stressed and didn't even notice. Now through therapy and my studies I learned to keep track of my emotions and to learn what's stressing me step by step. Sometimes it's hard to be highly sensitive because everything is just overwhelming you.
Same thought! I used to think that people will deeply care with other people just like I do. But mostly they don't. To be honest I am enjoying myself to be highly sensitive so I can help people. It is delightful that i can think in advance what's people need and I'm ready to help them.. it is indeed skill.
"Why are you always crying?" " I was just joking why are you so sad?" "Hurry up! All you have to do is just pick between those two. Come on me, others are waiting...." "What if die? I don't want to die..." "Wow, you're so detailed. How are you so good at all the creative arts?" "Are you okay? You seem...off." "Thanks for listening, I thought no one would really listen to me." "You're always so thoughtful and caring!" "Wow, you get really angry for small things." I am Madhurya Pedireddy, an 11-year-old girl who has heard and thought all of these things. I am thankful to know this because I used to think that I was a big baby. Thank you Pysch2Go! Now, I understand myself, and my feelings better.
Whoa, sweetie I am so glad you figured this out at 11. I went my entire childhood and broke down. In my by 23 when I couldn't function at school because I was surprising my hsp traits. Love and support yourself first and you will see the changes unfold 🥰
Indeed, HSP cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as they do. This is their tragedy. They understand others, but others do not understand them. This can truly be a dilemma unless one learns to control all those emotions 🖖
You don't always need to be understood to feel accepted. I know I feel so so deep, and most of my friends don't understand that. But they still love me and I still love them. Everyone has their own personal struggle in life. I prefer handling them through love instead of pain (and that can be really hard, but it's worth it to me)
Is it just me, that whenever I do something wrong it always lingers in my mind for the next few days until I force myself to do something to forget about it?
Same here! There r many likeminded people in this comment section which makes u feel less lonely knowing others can relate. There is always someone that understands u dont forget that❤
I was nervous for a performance I had to do for school and I was 4 and I was hugging my mom because I was nervous and then accident tally hugged someone else and I was so embarrassed that I still remember it to this day. And I’m 12. It doesn’t bother me anymore but it still did when I was 8 and I would always get super embarrassed when I thought about it even though it was years again and probably not that big of a deal lol! But I’m completely fine now that was a VERY long time ago
Yesterday evening I saw a funny picture on Instagram. First I didn't get the message so I asked in the comments if someone would explain it to me. I got a kind message pretty fast and wrote back how thankful I was. This little incident resulted in me not being able to sleep after that. My heart felt so warm and I got so excited just about the fact that some stranger probably even from a different country would care and explain this Instagram Pic for me. I suddenly felt so much love for all the wonderful people on this planet and couldn't stop smiling. I'm 22 now and I can't stop thinking about how weird I am.. I don't think anyone thinks like that.. But I guess that's just me. Not sure if this has something to do with highly sensitive people but it just came to my mind 😊 Edit: Aww thank you so much for reading and leaving these wonderful lovely comments!! You made my day better ☺️
I have similar experiences too....I would be very happy the whole day and keep replaying it in my mind when someone says sth appreciative to me ...like a humble me finally got noticed and appreciated...and I would often burst into grateful tears because of the kind words...
I spend most of the time I comment calling others out (nicely) for speaking to others so harshly. Social media commenters seem to loose both their minds & morals when they express their opinions. Most of them are down right mean & horrible- we cannot keep normalising this behaviour.

"You are too sensitive." "You view things through such a tight ethics lens" "You view thing symbolically" "You are too soft" "You are too emotional" Am I deformed?
You're not deformed. You just have a different way of thinking. As long as you don't hurt anyone, then it's okay to stay as you are. And it's definitely better to be ethical than be immoral.
The best response: "f u" (in your head" and then walk away. Haha But seriously we don't need that, move on from people who've told you things like that, even after you've tried to explain yourself. U.Ur
Exact same things partner said....luckily I have music to release my emotions, and it makes me gain confidence and meaning in life. But its really hard to date anyone. They often crash you on being too sensitive and crybaby for them....but find something artistic to dive in...you will be rewarded
As a diagnosed HSP, it can be hard to stay calm during settings where people are yelling angrily at someone else, or at me. I can start crying whenever I hear someone yelling, just because it scares me, even if it's not directed to me. It can be hard but there are people that care about all of you other HSP's out there. Just know that there are people who love you and who will stand with you through everything. ✨💖✨
I also get really upset or scared if people are shouting or arguing, and if it's directed at me I will definitely cry and possibly have a panic attack.
@@Laurastar2009 same. It's really hard, because whenever my mom is yelling at my siblings for something I start crying and she tells me to be quiet and to stop crying or she'll give me something to cry about. She'll tell me to "stop that foolishness. " it just hurts. I can't help that I'm sensitive.
I’ve spent most of my life trying to change myself and over correct my sensitivity, to the point where I’ve developed a stone cold mask. Underneath it i’ve harboured so much self hatred and rejection because I thought that in order to be allowed to exist, I have to experience things in a generally “normal” way. Realizing that there are others out there who experience high sensitivity and knowing that it’s a genetic disposition brings me both relief and an immense sadness. I’ve spent so long beating myself up for being this way, forcing myself to adapt to what I think is acceptable, just torturing myself relentlessly for experiencing life in this way. To whoever may be reading this, please be gentle with yourself; it’s okay to be gentle with yourself. The world is a tough place, your sensitivity has an extraordinary place in it.
Dear Lord, i am battle too like you!!! I am trying to adopt my sensibility in order to live a way without so much pain. Because a absorve the emotions and energy of others, i am in my room many weeks. So i thought to survive i have to be a cold person...
I agree. I'm extremely sensitive. If I get a bad mark at school, I want to break down and cry. If I see a sad movie, I want to sob and bask in my emotions in solitude for hours. If I feel emotion over something so minor no one else would even bat an eye, I want to feel it for hours. I get overwhelmed in crowded places; I feel extremely overwhelmed and suffocated and my first instinct is to just get out. I feel extremely uncomfortable in dim places, and want to go somewhere quiet, visibly lit, and surrounded by solitude. I even want to only wear clothes like hoodies and sweatpants, because the rough texture of jeans or button shirts leaves me extremely uncomfortable. I am an *extremely* sensitive person, but for the past few years, I've concealed it. I can't imagine what people around me would think if I revealed this side of me, and so, I act unfazed by all these sorts of things; even if it makes me feel more uncomfortable than if I just let my emotions through.
Signs You're a Highly Sensitive Person🙏👍 You absolutely abhor violence and cruelty of any kind. You're frequently emotionally exhausted from absorbing other people's feelings. Time pressure really rattles you. You withdraw often. You're jumpy. You think deeply. You're a seeker. Sudden, loud noises startle you.
Once as a kid, I cried while reading don't let the pigeon ride the bus because the pigeon was having a tantrum and I felt sad and I wanted to let him ride the bus. Am I an hsp-
I had a lot of friends who are highly sensitive and due to their experiences before, they would always apologize for reacting highly to something and I would always reassure that it's okay to feel that way because different people have different ways to show their emotions. The best way to help them is to be understanding and treat them normally. They don't want to burden you and make you feel that they are a bad friend for being like that. Just listen to the problems, you don't even need to give advice unless they ask you to. It's great to let someone hear what their thoughts are and it would ease the burden of their fear being judged. Also, stop gaslighting or making them question what they feel. It's scary and could lead to overthinking. Don't also force them to be in a situation that they don't want to be, just let them be comfortable. You can also ask how they're feeling today because most of the time, they're going, to be honest about it and they can vent it out. Just always assure them that you are here for them and support them in any way you can.
@@Sarkanyfi yes that's exactly the point but people tend to label them more as dramatic or overly sensitive when they should never be addressed like that with a negative connotation. No one has the right to tell someone what they're supposed to feel. Other people might take something as a joke but that can be taken to heart by HSPs and it's even harder for them if people don't even notice that they're actually hurt.
@@penielgrefalda857 Hey, thank you so much for this heartfelt comment. I'm an HSP and I learned to keep my emotions to myself. Thankfully I am quite good at managing it today. But you are such an understanding person towards your HSP companion. I haven't found someone like you in my life. I hope I do soon. Best wishes 😊
I have been like this, a HSP, my entire life. I'm 62 now. When I was a little girl, my mother knew this. She told me, "You're tender hearted". Mother always knows, doesn't she? ❤ Recently, after a discussion with my sister where I became extremely emotional about something I recalled from our childhood, she heard me crying over the phone and then said, "You ought to be more like me" (she never has been one to show much emotion). When I hung up the phone, my emotion went from sad to irate from what she said to me. I texted her back and told her, "I'll never be like you because I'M ME!!!" That's when it dawned on me that I AM ME and I actually APPRECIATE how I am emotionally. Sure, it hurts to the max more times than not, but I wouldn't want to be any other way. (*thanks for listening)
you are unbelievable lucky to have a beautiful soul mom, my mom and family members are Narcissists and demons, they used my special gifts to Abuse me, almost dieed by those demons....
Good for you in response to your sister. As tough as it is at times being an HSP, I wouldn't want to be anything else either. The world needs more people like us.
The way they talk also helps. I was abused when I was 4-8 by my father until my mother divorced him. She thought of divorcing him in the marriage early but wanted to try to fix the marriage. My father also said I was to much of a girl and was to sensitive so they’re calm voice is so nice! Sorry I’m ranting!🤭
never had a friend like that cuz im not the kind type of hsp's. And because im an hsp when someone like that tries get close to me i see their intention so fast so they never get a chance.
Hi i’m Theo, 14 years. I’m passing through a lot at this moment of my life, so your videos helped me so much to understand what’s going on with me. Thank you
I am 17 and at 14 I developed depression and it was that year I came to know I am a HSP.Keep faith in yourself you'll be alright. Find time for yourself,leisur,exercise and follow a daily routine. You may fail in the routine sometimes but trust me it's worth it!!!BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF cause YOU'RE PRECIOUS
I was always criticized for being shy and anxious and was often bullied as a child. Knowing now that I am highly sensitive, an empath and an INFJ has given me so much reassurance. However, I still feel isolated at times because I know no one like me.
Im an INFJ and HSP certainly empathy, my whole life im living "Under my own sun" there is about one to no ppl that can understand me at all... At some point ive become a nihilist. Nihilist that love passionaly everybody in this universe... I rly love myself so deeply... Its like im proud of who im (INFJ and HSP) At some point in my life i was about to end this game, But my friend saved my life...
@@almazoioio I'm so glad your dear friend was there for you . What a huge loss it would have been. Feelings such as those are not uncommon for our kind. Please keep on loving yourself and the universe as we are needed more than ever now. Blessings to you.
I am an empath and highly sensitive too but I am an enfp. I love being around ppl but I’m more of an ambivert since enfp in the most introverted type. Never think no one likes you. There is always someone who cares about you whether you know it or not.
@almazoioio About a year ago I almost ended this game too. This year was super fun however and I met so many people and have gotten to know many acquaintances better. Just knowing that I loved this passing year has given me strength bc I would have not experienced it otherwise. You are not alone no matter how lonely you may feel and I’m so glad your friend was there when you needed them most. Keep trekking along with all of us im sure it will be worth it
Guys, I want to go back. Life became a shade darker when I lost it. When you're young, you literally get a first impression of first impressions. Logic sums up the impression as an adult. But as a kid, _every_ detail has its own impression, thus seeming much more beautiful.
Thank you for including the hate section. People assume that a 'nice' or 'sensitive' person would NEVER hate. But this is wildly untrue. When I'm confronted with someone who does not share my level of disdain for insensitive or violent behavior, I am put off in an irreversible way.
right! i can hate someone for something they believe isn’t that bad or inhumane. its also not hate, i also create stereotypes and judge people too fast bc of this 😕
I'm so, so happy that you posted this. I think a lot of people don't understand how hard it is to be a HSP, I realized that I get more dramatic when I feel bad because I feel things more intensely and deeply, and in the majority of cases, I end up remembering bad memories. Sometimes I realize that I'm surrounded by people that can't understand how I feel and can hurt my feelings (or even mental health). All that I wanted to do is to change my life and move to an apartment in a big city where I feel confortable and have a job that makes me happy (and I want to do all that because I live in a poor part of my state in my country). Thank you for reading this, I hope I haven't exposed my personal feelings or my life. I hope you have a great day ❤ - a HSP
When I was about to start high school, we did an image presentation by computer at school. The teachers selected the best and funniest photos taken since we started school. As an HSP, it was so hard for me to keep my emotions inside of me, and meanwhile, my friends were laughing and talking about the photos. In addition, they played like melancolic songs. I started crying, because my emotions were too intense to keep them inside, they wanted to get out of the box. Now I know why I was the strange girl who cried when the others were having fun. Sorry for my english.
I used to have this BIG time as a kid.Certain sounds would make me burst into tears,it was like I could actually feel the sadness in the vibrations somehow. I still feel this way as an adult,tho it has become "detuned" in order to maintain sanity as the emotions are simply too much to maintain
Same here I don't have any friends and my parents and siblings kind of hate me and they make my cry, rather I'm just depressed or really suffering from being an HSP
People are not trained to read people anymore. My parents would point out things about people when we were out. Their posture, their clothes, their grooming. Also what they did for a living and their cars and homes.
Others don’t understand me for being a hsp I’m tired of hearing “you always over react on things” “why are you crying again” “stop being so sensitive” i hate it :
@@Musa4Revolution dude, I legit cry or get teary-eyed when I sense something bad or sad is going to happen to the characters; reading The Song Of Achilles killed me lmao.
I don’t mind my emotions, they make me human and HSP, but they get the better of me without warning. It’s difficult to talk to someone in a position of power or importance. If I were to have some sort of job interview, my mind gets worked up and my body reacts by tears, throat closing, tongue getting dry, fumbling over words, you name it. It’s affected me progressing in my professional career because I’m terrified of it happening in front of others. I can’t hold it off until later when I know I’m at least alone.
Tbh now I just cry in front of others and then explain why and also that the fact that I'm crying doesn't make me weak or laughable or anything like that. >:(
This also makes me realise why i get tired much faster especially when recording audio and video for my assignments. Since we are detail-oriented and i personally strive for perfection almost every single time (according to my own expectations), i ended up doing a heck lots of retakes, and it's daunting 😩
‘Youre so oversensetive its so annoying/ youre literally an emotional crybaby stop taking things too personal.’ Well now I know Im a HSP and there are positive signs of being a HSP!
Ah, this is me, all or almost all of these. Except I'm depressed now and it has a few odd effects slowing or stopping things. I now hate most people, lost my purpose/passion, don't have a passion for any field of work, I feel like no one has done with themselves the way I have, and find it hard to take my own direction. I feel so plain and bland, sociopathic and detached on a good few subjects. Of course, previously had social anxiety and became mentally self distructive or sabotaging. It only alleviated when I realised what most people where, compaired to me, unable to do or act my way. I am more alone in it and I am unsure of people can even replicate it or if its born or innate. Seemingly this behavior has been common for me since I was young. I thought I might be highly sensitive when I was googling about a year ago, this summed up things pretty well. So, if you've found this and think yourself incapable and garbage compared to your peers or neighbors or family, you wont believe me, but you are not. Alot of what people can do is made up of practice. Pick something, and see it through for hours and hours and hours. Get up to the 200-400 hours, see what happens. You will be good at it. And I would be so bold to say, that information WILL slowly compile from topic to topic and WILL make you better at other things and neighboring subjects.
Thanks for this comment. I'm an HSP and have been depressed my whole life due to a traumatic childhood. I'm only now, at 23, reckoning with the very very unhelpful ways I see myself and others. Most of what you wrote looks like the way I've always thought about myself. My whole life, most thoughts about myself have been shaded by either doubt or flat-out denial. I'm becoming able to understand and identify my trauma, and I've begun to move into a new way of thinking wherein self-affirmation is actually believable.
I just recently discovered that HSP was a thing and now it all makes sense. It’s so comforting knowing there are many people who have this trait and there’s not just something wrong with me that I need to change. Learning about this brings me a certain peace I didn’t know I needed.
I’ve known I was a HSP for years, but this video read me so quick. “You wear your heart on your sleeve...” Yep. 🥰 “You can read others easily...” Yep. 🧐 “You hate passionately....” 😨 “You looked exactly like the thumbnail when clicking on this video” 😱😱😱

I have a hsp friend and boy isn't it hard to deal with sometimes because they perceive the world in a different way that I understand, but yet there lies the beaty in it, it's so interesting to learn about them
Im not first, Im not last. But i came here pretty darn fast Edit 1: Never expected this to blow up! Woah, even Pysch2go Commented? This is a Dream Come True! Thanks for all Your Support! P. S. If You Want T o Use This Rhyme, Credit me.
It was damn hard being a HSP back in school thankfully now that Im in highschool I’ve managed to get friends that I would call trustworthy, we have fun, help each other out and such. Im still unable to be as outgoing as some of them are but Im comfortable in this middle ground between shut-in and hanging out with friends every week or so
I'm an HSP, and for some reason watching this makes me feel slightly better. I don't know if it's the narrator's voice, the music, or the little cartoon but it helps me a lot.
I've had people call me "too soft" or "too sensitive" but my all time favorite is "you are not sensitive, you just WANT to be sensitive." I can make a whole list of what I've been called for being sensitive.
I had a dream tht I lost my sister and cried for like 2 days..whenever I thought about it I started crying again.. My mom was like it's only a dream..why do you cry so much.. You know it hurts a lot even if it is a dream😥
Same! When I was 9, I had a dream where my mom died and the when I wake up, I just start crying and searching for her. When I remember that dream I still get emotional and the same thing with a dream where my little brother was abandoned.
Me to my parents: I think I’m a highly sensitive person... My therapist: yeah that’s true. My highly sensitive best friend: yeah, you’re just like me. My parents: *no*
Sorry your parents feel that way. But you are very valuable Keep that in mind no matter the circumstances You are loved , take care of yourself and find peace in your life
My roommate and I witnessed a fatal motorcycle accident yesterday right in front of us and they were able to carry on with their day and I broke down in tears randomly throughout the day today. It truly opened my eyes to how different people's processing center's are...
I can relate. Twenty years ago, a close family friend passed away. Everyone else had no problems with moving on with their lives, whereas I was devastated for years. I finally got past it, but I resented being told to "just get over it "
One time I saw a girl who had darker skin than what I assume to be her grandparents (they were white) and they were saying things like “cmon girl” and being generally very rude to her and she was about my age. She looked very uncomfortable and sad and I hated that. We made eye contact and she looked so sad and I wanted to do something but realized that I really couldn’t. I haven’t seen her since that time years ago and I still think about it. Another time I was talking to my grandpa in my very slow and bad Spanish bc he only speaks Spanish and I’ve been learning for like a year now and know the basics. There was this family who walked by and they all stopped and stared at me like I had committed a sin. I was so frustrated and cried about it the rest of the day even tho my dad said that people were gonna hate you for no reason no matter what but I couldn’t just stop thinking about it since I had put in so much work into learning Spanish just to have people look at me weird for it. They probably were racist too and I was just so mad.
I feel all of these, and I have told that I was too emotional so many times that I grew up hating myself and my emotions. I still struggle with loving my sensitivity to this day. 😢
I'm nearly 50 and for years I thought I was an alien from another planet, walking among humans who don't care so much, I woul always help insects, birds and animals who were in trouble and no-one cared, often being ridiculed, my senses are always switched on to high alert and I feel every bump on my emotional journeythrough life and couldn't understand why people just walk over and not care about everything/anything that was vulnerable or innocent. I have a stomach ulcer from worrying since I was 10 and always got the usual ' stop being so sensitive ' from friends and family and often felt embarrassed that I couldn'tswitch it off. It's only recently I've found out with help from my therapist that it's a strength. So I'm now trying to make peace with it and be kind to myself .
I’m a peeeerty sensitive person. Sometimes when I’m around my friends they say things behind my back like “why does he have to be so sensitive,“ “what’s wrong with him,” “Can’t he just be normal.” But this video is really accurate! I have a lot of these traits 😋 sometimes I even think I could be a Therapist. I give a lot of people good advice and people tend to come to me when they have a problem.
I always find someone who says "you are too sensitive" or "you are too intense". Even my family. So I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me being sensitive or too deep. It took me 40 years to understand that there is nothing wrong. We just have to work our "too deep" for a healthier life. But I think an HSP never changes. We just know how to live this way. So the best thing an HSP can do is get as much information as we can and work on it. I actually learned how to say no. How to put myself first in some situations. It's a hard job but not impossible. It's all about creating habits. I love the HSP videos you post. They make me understand me better. Thank you!
Ever since I discovered HSP people exist it's like my whole life has changed. I felt like my life was reflected in this video wow, thank you for sharing this
Psalm 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Matthew 7:6 Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Job 39:13 The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully.. she lays her eggs on the ground, unmindful that a foot may crush them. She treats her young harshly as if they were not hers for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense. Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider. Colossians 3:21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Job 8:7 Although your beginnings were small, your future will be very great indeed. Revelation 21:4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
i recently found out im an HSP due to my therapist, ive always expressed my emotions VERY strongly and it often put others on the spot, some of my childhood friends frankly started to hate me because of it… luckily now im more aware of my emotions and im a lot more accepting of them, my therapist told me that feeling emotions is completely natural and nothing to be ashamed of. what she said really spoke to me to be honest, so i wanna share that; theres nothing wrong with expressing how you feel, it just goes to show that youre a human capable of having empathy.
Wow this is exactly how I am! I never thought I was a hsp but I guess I'm not surprised because ever since I was little everyone at school always bullied me for over reacting and that effected my physical and emotional health and I started to hide my emotions around people even family and got really depressed. I even had to go to a psychologist when I was like 11, but I'm happy I did because that really helped me and eventually I started to be more calm at school and my health got better but the bullying still continued until I was 14 when the 2 that bullied me the most at class moved to another school and my class just stopped bullying me as bad and I'm really happy! I'm 15 now and so much happier than I used to be! Thank you for reading my story all the way through! ❤️
Strong girl, I hope you still love this world and that there's always something/someone really good will come to you :) As a girl who ever being bullied by age of 14 to 18 but love the people around as a 24 year old girl :)
Me and my younger sister had an argument infront of our mom. She was somehow accusing me of something because she misunderstood me. Mom seems to be on her side since I was starting to shout and in that point, I seem like I was over reacting to it. And as I was explaining myself, tears starts to form where in my sis said "then why are you crying" and scoffed and mom sighed knowing that I was being immature. At that moment I started crying all of a sudden, my hands shaking, my heartbeat beating loudly and i'm loss of words. I noticed that fhis happens to me a lot of times even at the littlest things. But now as I learn from all those situations, I came to control my feelings and emotions and not let it lead me. I still struggle with the shaking and I easily cry but it isn't as worse as before. I hope for everyone who is a HSP get through that as well and learn from it. It might not be easy but it is a challenge we need to face. Thank you for your videos, I learned a lot from it! It is something everyone would watch in the process of growing. This has also been a guide for me! I hope to see more of your amazing and calming videos
Hi army 💜 you aren't immature cuz an accutual immature person wouldn't try to analyse what causes them problem and just defend themselves in an argument and you are trying to be better and that's an amazing work and I really appreciate it and good luck in your process of healing

@@VolatileHunter2 dude how does my age effect that? I have a grudge against someone for bullying and leaving me with a heck tonne of mental issues and trauma , comprendo?
@@archienoyce2453 I can understand that it’s difficult to let go of grudges and especially when someone hurts us. I hope you are able to find tools to build yourself back again stronger. Bullies don’t remain in our lives forever, and it is their own insecurities that push them towards bullying others. If anything, you’re already on the right path watching this video and trying ot understand yourself.
Whenever anything happens and I feel it deeply I end up crying in my washroom and then spending a lot of time to make my face go from red to normal so that others don't suspect that I was crying (I hate it that people around me treat crying as a crime)
I really don't like loud background noise. Recently my nephew started pushing the door open and talking about me. I feel deliberately targeting and making me feel angry and upset. Because I'm in state of self reflection, I can't help think about which happened to me in the past. I feel that the dog or hamster understands me more. Sometimes you can't feel angry or bear grudges not that to calm down or get over it. I'm looking into stoic philosophy and inner child healing see if I can heal from trauma
Am I the only one who bottles up emotions and don't know if I am sad or happy? Edit : I found out the root cause of it and i came overt it cuz things were mild so it was easy for me if you guys wanna ask something lemme know
Yeah, I used to do this a lot more a year ago, when someone really close to me died. I think my brain used it as a defense mechanism to avoid the pain. But now I can’t tell what I’m worried about or sad about until it’s so overwhelming the emotions break through. I don’t know if this is what you experience, but yeah :)
Yesterday in school, we were doing competitions between three classmates at a time. And i was up. The competituon was about who could remember more items that were infront of us, and the teacher asked therest of the class who thought i was gonna win, and no one voted for me, i got so hurt and wanted to go away, cuz it was like no one belived in me, i was trying to hide the fact i was crying but all the attention was on me and the other two classmates. So im pretty sure everyone noticed, i felt like no one thought that i was good, not even my friends voted for me. I won, but i still couldnt shake the fact that no one belived in me. Im littreally crying rn Like even tho i was telling myself i was overthinking i kept crying
I'm so sorry you had to go trough that :( Having everyones attention in that kind of situation while crying, and feeling like no one believed in you. I don't know how you felt, but I can relate. What you felt and feel rn is valid and understandable. Sending you hugs! I love you and I promise this will soon be a memory that won't take up as much space as it does now. I wish you well!
So I'm simply an HSP, not a picky, timid, over-reacting person like others said! Thanks for making cute, kind, and informing video as usual. It just makes me so comfortable when watching your videos. Please keep up with the fascinating work!
At the age of 32 it's nice to finally get some idea what I might have been since I was a child. I have always struggled with my emotions and wondered why I developed such a bad deppression and anxiety from bullying, because to be fair many suffer way worse than I did. But it just stopped my life from happening and I have been so afraid of everything. Now I have been in therapy for 2 years and finally starting to get on my feet and have started to live bit by bit. And it feels pretty good now ❤ I don't know why I felt the urge to comment, but if someone sees this I hope it gives you something. You can survive anything ❤
One time I was shopping for a watch in a dept. store; as I walked away empty handed I heard one sales lady say to the other, "She looked at every single watch in here!".
It's so accurate that I can't agree more! It's so difficult to be highly sensitive and getting along with people who don't see things the way I do! Its drains me out emotionally most of the times.
I already knew that I was a HSP for a while, but the second topic, about having to pour whatever bothers you out got me by surprise. I had no clue that had anything to do with being HSP, but everytime something really small happens and makes me angry or sad even if just for a brief moment I need to tell it to whoever's near me, otherwise I feel like there's something in my throat. No real reason to comment this, I just loved the reletability I got from that lol
One time I started to cry when my teacher discussed the cruelties done during the Nazi period, I was the only one crying . I was made fun of a lot and everyone thought I did it for attention. Everyone things I overreact for attention like I’m too happy or too sad, but honestly I just hate the gaze of people and it’s very pressurising. After years and years of hating myself (and calling myself a weak ass because I hated fights and violence, I’m very scared of confrontations even if I’ve done nothing), I finally found this series about HSPs. Thank You So Much Psych2Go. ❤️❤️ I watched 5 of these videos… I feel like I found a lost piece of self love.
i feel like i can't really hate someone, i always end up forgiving. i'm more afraid of people hating me or being unsatisfied with me... i don't know if i am en hsp, but i feel like one..
I have the same issue. A war inside my head every single day. And I think that's the reason why most people don't even know I'm sensitive because on the outside I show not too many signs (except for a few of those numbered).
@@feelstora3 I agree! People around me often think I'm stubborn or arrogant for this! The problem of mine here is fear of judgement due to some past experiences!!!
I’ve struggled with being highly sensitive, both from myself and from others/environment around me. When I was younger, feeling so deeply was catharsis and almost peaceful to feel. Perhaps somehow understanding that I CAN feel so deeply was relieving. Now as I’ve gotten older, I feel more exhausted and shocked that I am still so highly sensitive and unable to control it at times. It IS a blessing and a curse; both sides of the coin have their immense struggles.
Gosh yes..especially the last one. I do hate as much as I love. And if you hurt me deeply, I'll never think of you the same, ever. Completely shut out. Psych2go, thanks for validating us...especially when some of us have been invalidated about how we feel and perceive the world. I felt ashamed of myself for so long. These videos are beautiful and helpful.

Hello .
Here it's 11:25 am

It is both a blessing and a curse to feel things so deeply.
Agreed - takes me 100 times longer to grieve than most people, and I’m never truly “over” it.
It truly is
I feel like most young people are in heard mentality. The do not care how they dress or groom or present themselves. They live in their square and are ignorant with no knowledge between their ears.
@@wendyraye No one is ever over it. They file it in the proper place. Grief counselors and books are helpful.
@Brooke Testi You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders especially for your age. Most are not aware of the electronics abuse. One can never have too much knowledge.
Highly sensitive also tends to mean overthinking everything.
Does anyone else relate to this?
@@Psych2go well...yeah
yes
@@Psych2go yes
@@Psych2go Mhm can relate very much
This actually has a name? I just thought there was something wrong with me. This is a relief.
I feel u!! Everything has a diagnosis these days hahaha. Which is a good thing, it means its real and not attention seeking like many non hsps claim to make u look bad and pathetic. They just feel threatened bcuz we can read them and they dont like that haha
I thought the same. It helps me to know I am not alone.
We exist
Same here
Same I thought I was a spesh
On the internet, everyone's highly sensitive, an introvert and an infj. Yet in the real world I can find noone like me and am always the odd one.
Thats because how highly these things are romanticized on the internet. For example this video, cutesy imagery and the wording puts it out as you must be the kindest very sensitive etc. Similar to mental illness on shows like Skins, Euphoria, 13 reasons why... everyone wants to be 'different.' In real life though, none of these things benefit you so people dont really show it. I wish the internet understood that while being highly sensitive, or an infj, it comes with alot of disadvantages(mental illnesses). Point is, you can always see how they really are in real life. That doesnt mean youre the 'odd' one though.
Part of it is that these types stay home all the time. It's easy for them to congregate online, but they have little desire to actually go out
Because everyone wants to be this person, but in reality only a small percentage truly are. We live in a very narcissistic, selfish society.
@@freyjacooper9082 In fairness though, I see the self-acclaimed hsp everywhere, look out for polar expedition kit jacket and beanie on a 15°C day, male, 20-something, 50 pound overweight, poorly shaved, fixed stare on their phone (of course).
I'm an infp uvu
"you'd rather be sure about your decisions than regret them later on"
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY IT TAKES ME TOO LONG TO DECIDE
Jokes on you, I still regret them anyway... Even after taking forever to decide.. beating myself up for having taken so long.. Couldve saved so much trouble and overthinking aaaa
Sigh the sad truth, my mom always gets sick of me whenever I take too long to choose between the simplest things and she always ends up deciding for me 😂
SAME DUDE ITS SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS
I recently spent like 5-10 minutes in front of the freezer at the grocery store deciding what flavor of ice cream to get. And people like that always used to annoy me when I worked at a grocery store and they were right where I needed to be lol.
SAME!!!! :((
As an HSP, I can tell that, whenever we fail, it feels like we’ve done something soooo bad, that we don’t even deserve love or any kind of good emotions. DON’T think that, you ALL deserve love, and try to get out of bad emotions naturally
❤️❤️❤️
related too much! :'''( ❤
Omgggg. Exactly. I do feel like that. Thanks for saying it
I've struggled with that so much!! I don't know if I am an HSP but I certainly am pretty sensitive and react strongly especially something regarding my own value.. So I tend to perceive anything as to make me a failure or a bad person or less valuable and likeable even if it is not the case.. It took and still takes me a lot of development to be able to see the bigger picture and to value who I am but I am definitely making progress and I am able to distance from and to reflect more on my emotions wich makes me really happy.
I can relate, when I feel as if I did something bad I just cry due to overwhelming frustration.
I can't even eat when everything doesn't go well 😬
The struggles of an HSP:
● Being called as "too sensitive" or "too soft"
● People won't understand you because they think your a freak
● A hard time finding friends because you and them have nothing in common
● Your parents being wierded out because you won't leave your room
● Having sympathy for people despite them having no sympathy for you
this is so true and relatable
Why did you post a description of me in the comments?
too relatable
So true!
Oh myyy gosh this is so meeeee
In a family therapy session once my abusive sister said "you need to stop being so sensitive!" and my therapist at the time stopped her and explained that some people are just more sensitive than others and I never felt so protected in my life.
I wish I had someone like your therapist
If only someone were around to defend me like the therapist did for you. I NEVER had it, only the opposite. What a callous, ignorant remark! I would have said:" You need to shut up, and stop being so judgmental!"
I hate it when people say that! They act as if we can just change it or something
I have heard this my whole life, I now look at it as a gift. I maybe sensitive but I rather that then have none at all.
Snap. It's annoying how family especially can be so sure their path is right and yours needs a route change!!
Summary ^^ also great video!!
1. Experience deeper emotions
2. Have stronger reactions
3. Better at deciding things
4. Let grief linger in their heads
5. Better at perceiving details
6. Better at reading people and characters
7. Good at actively listening to others
8. Loving more deeply
9. Hating more passionately
I hope you have a good day!
I was going to do that but thanks :)
Thank you for 2 thing the summary and the "have a good day": hope you also have a good day!
Much love and Thank you very much for this....

This made me realise that a HSP is not a 'crybaby' Ive had so many ppl mislead me
Yes! They aren't the same thing :)
Nice photo bro
Interesting!
Do grumpy people also one of those HSP people?
Possible where grumpiness is worn as a shield to keep sensory overload at arm’s length (usually subconscious auto-pilot reaction).
I am an HSP
“You’re so sensitive”
“Why are you always crying”
“You’re too emotional”
IT just hurts me
Sorry to hear :( how do you usually respond to those comments ?
Happens to me too.
I always hear "you are too sensitive" as if it's meant to be an insult... my parents say it to me often. And often insist on me letting "it" (whatever it may be at the time) go; which isn't easy for people like us.
This is exactly what's happening to me right now
I hope you guys don't get insulted by people any more... that's just rude of them
People be like: "just pull yourself together! life isn't always easy" and im like IM TRYING OK :'(
Like, do people think I like crying and being miserable??
Yes
Yes exactly! It’s that simple for us to just pull ourselves together.
You're so right!
I think there are some (that don't feel the same way as we do) that are of the opinion that we DO like crying and being miserable. Just a thought. I wish they would consider for a moment that they could be mistaken.
Exactly, if it was so easy to "just pull yourself together" and shake everything off then nobody would ever have depression, anxiety or burnout or anything like that.
Honestly, knowing there's a group of sensitive people like me makes me feel better.
Hugs 🤗
ofc, we are there for you
Same here man
Ikr same here
I know. It helps me not feel so lonely. 😭
I hope everyone is having a good day
nope lmao
we are hope u having one too :D
You as well where ever you're from! :)
You too!❤️
I hope you're having a good day too 😊
The most important thing is: highly sensitive people aren't damaged or weaker than other people. They have a SKILL!
Took me a lot of time to actively notice all the helpful skills and personality traits that come along with my sensitivity. I used to think that these skills came naturally to everybody and that the challenges which are caused by sensitivity were my flaws. But sensitivity is a gift, not everybody can feel this way! So if you can experience passionate love, don't give it only to others - you should love yourself and your sensitivity too! You owe it a lot of good things which you may have overlooked:)
this is very cute and it made me feel better ❤️❤️ty
This comment is beautiful
The first 20 years of my life I hardly knew what was going on around me. I was always stressed and didn't even notice. Now through therapy and my studies I learned to keep track of my emotions and to learn what's stressing me step by step. Sometimes it's hard to be highly sensitive because everything is just overwhelming you.
I was 51 before I became aware of HSP .. I live life on my terms now .. not what others expect from me ..
Same thought! I used to think that people will deeply care with other people just like I do. But mostly they don't. To be honest I am enjoying myself to be highly sensitive so I can help people. It is delightful that i can think in advance what's people need and I'm ready to help them.. it is indeed skill.
"Why are you always crying?"
" I was just joking why are you so sad?"
"Hurry up! All you have to do is just pick between those two. Come on me, others are waiting...."
"What if die? I don't want to die..."
"Wow, you're so detailed. How are you so good at all the creative arts?"
"Are you okay? You seem...off."
"Thanks for listening, I thought no one would really listen to me."
"You're always so thoughtful and caring!"
"Wow, you get really angry for small things."
I am Madhurya Pedireddy, an 11-year-old girl who has heard and thought all of these things. I am thankful to know this because I used to think that I was a big baby. Thank you Pysch2Go! Now, I understand myself, and my feelings better.
You’re pretty cool and caring! And it seems like you’re have some good friends that want to talk to you.
Good luck with life and focus on your strengths.
You rule ! I hope everything goes well for you. Sending strength. 🙏🏾💖
Whoa, sweetie I am so glad you figured this out at 11. I went my entire childhood and broke down. In my by 23 when I couldn't function at school because I was surprising my hsp traits. Love and support yourself first and you will see the changes unfold 🥰
You're doing a great job. Keep being there for the peeps you love. :)
Indeed, HSP cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as they do. This is their tragedy. They understand others, but others do not understand them. This can truly be a dilemma unless one learns to control all those emotions 🖖
Soooooo true
just find another HSP 🤷
You don't always need to be understood to feel accepted. I know I feel so so deep, and most of my friends don't understand that. But they still love me and I still love them. Everyone has their own personal struggle in life. I prefer handling them through love instead of pain (and that can be really hard, but it's worth it to me)
@@jahnavibhargava2572 I there's a lot of HSP in this video. You are a lot.
As my dad always says, "Become like Spok"🖖
Is it just me, that whenever I do something wrong it always lingers in my mind for the next few days until I force myself to do something to forget about it?
I kinda do the same or.atleast used to do
Same here! There r many likeminded people in this comment section which makes u feel less lonely knowing others can relate. There is always someone that understands u dont forget that❤
I was nervous for a performance I had to do for school and I was 4 and I was hugging my mom because I was nervous and then accident tally hugged someone else and I was so embarrassed that I still remember it to this day. And I’m 12. It doesn’t bother me anymore but it still did when I was 8 and I would always get super embarrassed when I thought about it even though it was years again and probably not that big of a deal lol! But I’m completely fine now that was a VERY long time ago
D o o d l e Wow lmao I would’ve been embarrassed as well, but don’t worry about it I’m sure that person liked your hug 😼
Nahied Laila Aww thanks 💜

Mitsukiみつき this is very true. i live in a very loud environment and with people that don't understand me. it sucks
@@rxsiem it does but do you know how I relieve some of the stress?
Drawing on a paper.
Even if you don't know how to draw it will help
Yesterday evening I saw a funny picture on Instagram. First I didn't get the message so I asked in the comments if someone would explain it to me. I got a kind message pretty fast and wrote back how thankful I was.
This little incident resulted in me not being able to sleep after that. My heart felt so warm and I got so excited just about the fact that some stranger probably even from a different country would care and explain this Instagram Pic for me. I suddenly felt so much love for all the wonderful people on this planet and couldn't stop smiling.
I'm 22 now and I can't stop thinking about how weird I am.. I don't think anyone thinks like that.. But I guess that's just me. Not sure if this has something to do with highly sensitive people but it just came to my mind 😊
Edit: Aww thank you so much for reading and leaving these wonderful lovely comments!! You made my day better ☺️
That sounds sweet. Who would have known a comment could have affected someone like that 😄
I have similar experiences too....I would be very happy the whole day and keep replaying it in my mind when someone says sth appreciative to me ...like a humble me finally got noticed and appreciated...and I would often burst into grateful tears because of the kind words...
I spend most of the time I comment calling others out (nicely) for speaking to others so harshly. Social media commenters seem to loose both their minds & morals when they express their opinions. Most of them are down right mean & horrible- we cannot keep normalising this behaviour.
That's wonderful to hear, you are probably a very special person with so much love to give...warms my heart to read💞 love from Norway 🥰👍

Nope
You're not deformed. You just have a different way of thinking. As long as you don't hurt anyone, then it's okay to stay as you are. And it's definitely better to be ethical than be immoral.
The best response: "f u" (in your head" and then walk away. Haha
But seriously we don't need that, move on from people who've told you things like that, even after you've tried to explain yourself. U.Ur
Exact same things partner said....luckily I have music to release my emotions, and it makes me gain confidence and meaning in life. But its really hard to date anyone. They often crash you on being too sensitive and crybaby for them....but find something artistic to dive in...you will be rewarded
As a diagnosed HSP, it can be hard to stay calm during settings where people are yelling angrily at someone else, or at me. I can start crying whenever I hear someone yelling, just because it scares me, even if it's not directed to me.
It can be hard but there are people that care about all of you other HSP's out there. Just know that there are people who love you and who will stand with you through everything. ✨💖✨
This channel cares about HSP people
I also get really upset or scared if people are shouting or arguing, and if it's directed at me I will definitely cry and possibly have a panic attack.
@@Laurastar2009 I 100% relate! It can be really hard to deal with at times
@@Laurastar2009 same. It's really hard, because whenever my mom is yelling at my siblings for something I start crying and she tells me to be quiet and to stop crying or she'll give me something to cry about. She'll tell me to "stop that foolishness. " it just hurts. I can't help that I'm sensitive.
Yes me too. I would cringe if someone ELSE got corrected at school or other instance.
I’ve spent most of my life trying to change myself and over correct my sensitivity, to the point where I’ve developed a stone cold mask. Underneath it i’ve harboured so much self hatred and rejection because I thought that in order to be allowed to exist, I have to experience things in a generally “normal” way.
Realizing that there are others out there who experience high sensitivity and knowing that it’s a genetic disposition brings me both relief and an immense sadness. I’ve spent so long beating myself up for being this way, forcing myself to adapt to what I think is acceptable, just torturing myself relentlessly for experiencing life in this way.
To whoever may be reading this, please be gentle with yourself; it’s okay to be gentle with yourself. The world is a tough place, your sensitivity has an extraordinary place in it.
Dear Lord, i am battle too like you!!! I am trying to adopt my sensibility in order to live a way without so much pain. Because a absorve the emotions and energy of others, i am in my room many weeks. So i thought to survive i have to be a cold person...
@@joanadeoliveira4380 I hear you, Joana! May you find endless peace and love within yourself and your place in this world ❤️
OBserver, thank you very much. My sentiments EXACTLY.
damn, you rlly took the words from my mouth LMAO
I agree. I'm extremely sensitive. If I get a bad mark at school, I want to break down and cry. If I see a sad movie, I want to sob and bask in my emotions in solitude for hours. If I feel emotion over something so minor no one else would even bat an eye, I want to feel it for hours. I get overwhelmed in crowded places; I feel extremely overwhelmed and suffocated and my first instinct is to just get out. I feel extremely uncomfortable in dim places, and want to go somewhere quiet, visibly lit, and surrounded by solitude. I even want to only wear clothes like hoodies and sweatpants, because the rough texture of jeans or button shirts leaves me extremely uncomfortable. I am an *extremely* sensitive person, but for the past few years, I've concealed it. I can't imagine what people around me would think if I revealed this side of me, and so, I act unfazed by all these sorts of things; even if it makes me feel more uncomfortable than if I just let my emotions through.

Signs You're a Highly Sensitive Person🙏👍
You absolutely abhor violence and cruelty of any kind.
You're frequently emotionally exhausted from absorbing other people's feelings.
Time pressure really rattles you.
You withdraw often.
You're jumpy.
You think deeply.
You're a seeker.
Sudden, loud noises startle you.

I had a lot of friends who are highly sensitive and due to their experiences before, they would always apologize for reacting highly to something and I would always reassure that it's okay to feel that way because different people have different ways to show their emotions.
The best way to help them is to be understanding and treat them normally. They don't want to burden you and make you feel that they are a bad friend for being like that. Just listen to the problems, you don't even need to give advice unless they ask you to. It's great to let someone hear what their thoughts are and it would ease the burden of their fear being judged.
Also, stop gaslighting or making them question what they feel. It's scary and could lead to overthinking. Don't also force them to be in a situation that they don't want to be, just let them be comfortable. You can also ask how they're feeling today because most of the time, they're going, to be honest about it and they can vent it out.
Just always assure them that you are here for them and support them in any way you can.
Thank you!
This comment is everything thank you 🙏
I guess this could go for anyone you like or love.😀
@@Sarkanyfi yes that's exactly the point but people tend to label them more as dramatic or overly sensitive when they should never be addressed like that with a negative connotation. No one has the right to tell someone what they're supposed to feel.
Other people might take something as a joke but that can be taken to heart by HSPs and it's even harder for them if people don't even notice that they're actually hurt.
@@penielgrefalda857 Hey, thank you so much for this heartfelt comment. I'm an HSP and I learned to keep my emotions to myself. Thankfully I am quite good at managing it today. But you are such an understanding person towards your HSP companion. I haven't found someone like you in my life. I hope I do soon. Best wishes 😊
I have been like this, a HSP, my entire life. I'm 62 now. When I was a little girl, my mother knew this. She told me, "You're tender hearted". Mother always knows, doesn't she? ❤ Recently, after a discussion with my sister where I became extremely emotional about something I recalled from our childhood, she heard me crying over the phone and then said, "You ought to be more like me" (she never has been one to show much emotion). When I hung up the phone, my emotion went from sad to irate from what she said to me. I texted her back and told her, "I'll never be like you because I'M ME!!!" That's when it dawned on me that I AM ME and I actually APPRECIATE how I am emotionally. Sure, it hurts to the max more times than not, but I wouldn't want to be any other way. (*thanks for listening)

As tough as it is at times being an HSP, I wouldn't want to be anything else either.
The world needs more people like us.
These vids really make me feel like I’m not alone. There’s a lot of people that experience life in a similar way that I do.
I also feel that way
The way they talk also helps. I was abused when I was 4-8 by my father until my mother divorced him. She thought of divorcing him in the marriage early but wanted to try to fix the marriage. My father also said I was to much of a girl and was to sensitive so they’re calm voice is so nice! Sorry I’m ranting!🤭

Not all people can relate to that tho..
never had a friend like that cuz im not the kind type of hsp's. And because im an hsp when someone like that tries get close to me i see their intention so fast so they never get a chance.
Everyone experiences that, unless they are a recluse. Maybe more sensitive people want to please others more.

I am 17 and at 14 I developed depression and it was that year I came to know I am a HSP.Keep faith in yourself you'll be alright. Find time for yourself,leisur,exercise and follow a daily routine. You may fail in the routine sometimes but trust me it's worth it!!!BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF cause YOU'RE PRECIOUS

Yes, me exactly
Same, I don't always show my emotions, but they're truly unbearable sometimes (when they're negative)
Relatable
I was always criticized for being shy and anxious and was often bullied as a child.
Knowing now that I am highly sensitive, an empath and an INFJ has given me so much reassurance.
However, I still feel isolated at times because I know no one like me.
Im an INFJ and HSP certainly empathy, my whole life im living "Under my own sun" there is about one to no ppl that can understand me at all... At some point ive become a nihilist. Nihilist that love passionaly everybody in this universe... I rly love myself so deeply... Its like im proud of who im (INFJ and HSP) At some point in my life i was about to end this game, But my friend saved my life...

I am an empath and highly sensitive too but I am an enfp. I love being around ppl but I’m more of an ambivert since enfp in the most introverted type.
Never think no one likes you. There is always someone who cares about you whether you know it or not.

About a year ago I almost ended this game too. This year was super fun however and I met so many people and have gotten to know many acquaintances better.

Thank you for including the hate section. People assume that a 'nice' or 'sensitive' person would NEVER hate. But this is wildly untrue. When I'm confronted with someone who does not share my level of disdain for insensitive or violent behavior, I am put off in an irreversible way.
right! i can hate someone for something they believe isn’t that bad or inhumane. its also not hate, i also create stereotypes and judge people too fast bc of this 😕
The worst thing is when you care so much about others that end up with hurting ourself.
I'm so, so happy that you posted this. I think a lot of people don't understand how hard it is to be a HSP, I realized that I get more dramatic when I feel bad because I feel things more intensely and deeply, and in the majority of cases, I end up remembering bad memories. Sometimes I realize that I'm surrounded by people that can't understand how I feel and can hurt my feelings (or even mental health).
All that I wanted to do is to change my life and move to an apartment in a big city where I feel confortable and have a job that makes me happy (and I want to do all that because I live in a poor part of my state in my country).
Thank you for reading this, I hope I haven't exposed my personal feelings or my life. I hope you have a great day ❤

When I was about to start high school, we did an image presentation by computer at school. The teachers selected the best and funniest photos taken since we started school. As an HSP, it was so hard for me to keep my emotions inside of me, and meanwhile, my friends were laughing and talking about the photos. In addition, they played like melancolic songs. I started crying, because my emotions were too intense to keep them inside, they wanted to get out of the box.
Now I know why I was the strange girl who cried when the others were having fun.
Sorry for my english.

I used to have this BIG time as a kid.Certain sounds would make me burst into tears,it was like I could actually feel the sadness in the vibrations somehow.
I still feel this way as an adult,tho it has become "detuned" in order to maintain sanity as the emotions are simply too much to maintain
Same here I don't have any friends and my parents and siblings kind of hate me and they make my cry, rather I'm just depressed or really suffering from being an HSP
@@nerymuniz6427 i think being an HSP increases probability to suffer from being mentally unstable, so you should take extra care of yourself

I don’t mind my emotions, they make me human and HSP, but they get the better of me without warning. It’s difficult to talk to someone in a position of power or importance. If I were to have some sort of job interview, my mind gets worked up and my body reacts by tears, throat closing, tongue getting dry, fumbling over words, you name it. It’s affected me progressing in my professional career because I’m terrified of it happening in front of others. I can’t hold it off until later when I know I’m at least alone.
I can relate.
Tbh now I just cry in front of others and then explain why and also that the fact that I'm crying doesn't make me weak or laughable or anything like that. >:(
This is so true. I screwed up my interview having a breakdown, embarrassing myself eventhough I got selected despite everything.
This also makes me realise why i get tired much faster especially when recording audio and video for my assignments. Since we are detail-oriented and i personally strive for perfection almost every single time (according to my own expectations), i ended up doing a heck lots of retakes, and it's daunting 😩
‘Youre so oversensetive its so annoying/ youre literally an emotional crybaby stop taking things too personal.’ Well now I know Im a HSP and there are positive signs of being a HSP!

Hi @@Psych2go hope you're okay
So I have no friends but fake toxic friends and I don't know what to do or how to stay away from them
Can you help me?
Ah, this is me, all or almost all of these. Except I'm depressed now and it has a few odd effects slowing or stopping things. I now hate most people, lost my purpose/passion, don't have a passion for any field of work, I feel like no one has done with themselves the way I have, and find it hard to take my own direction. I feel so plain and bland, sociopathic and detached on a good few subjects. Of course, previously had social anxiety and became mentally self distructive or sabotaging. It only alleviated when I realised what most people where, compaired to me, unable to do or act my way. I am more alone in it and I am unsure of people can even replicate it or if its born or innate.
Seemingly this behavior has been common for me since I was young. I thought I might be highly sensitive when I was googling about a year ago, this summed up things pretty well.
So, if you've found this and think yourself incapable and garbage compared to your peers or neighbors or family, you wont believe me, but you are not. Alot of what people can do is made up of practice. Pick something, and see it through for hours and hours and hours. Get up to the 200-400 hours, see what happens. You will be good at it. And I would be so bold to say, that information WILL slowly compile from topic to topic and WILL make you better at other things and neighboring subjects.
Thanks for this comment. I'm an HSP and have been depressed my whole life due to a traumatic childhood. I'm only now, at 23, reckoning with the very very unhelpful ways I see myself and others. Most of what you wrote looks like the way I've always thought about myself. My whole life, most thoughts about myself have been shaded by either doubt or flat-out denial. I'm becoming able to understand and identify my trauma, and I've begun to move into a new way of thinking wherein self-affirmation is actually believable.
I just recently discovered that HSP was a thing and now it all makes sense. It’s so comforting knowing there are many people who have this trait and there’s not just something wrong with me that I need to change. Learning about this brings me a certain peace I didn’t know I needed.
I’ve known I was a HSP for years, but this video read me so quick.

My roommate and I witnessed a fatal motorcycle accident yesterday right in front of us and they were able to carry on with their day and I broke down in tears randomly throughout the day today. It truly opened my eyes to how different people's processing center's are...
I can relate. Twenty years ago, a close family friend passed away. Everyone else had no problems with moving on with their lives, whereas I was devastated for years. I finally got past it, but I resented being told to "just get over it "
Having deep empathy and feeling the pain and trauma that others feel is a gift, but it can be overwhelming.
One time I saw a girl who had darker skin than what I assume to be her grandparents (they were white) and they were saying things like “cmon girl” and being generally very rude to her and she was about my age. She looked very uncomfortable and sad and I hated that. We made eye contact and she looked so sad and I wanted to do something but realized that I really couldn’t. I haven’t seen her since that time years ago and I still think about it.
Another time I was talking to my grandpa in my very slow and bad Spanish bc he only speaks Spanish and I’ve been learning for like a year now and know the basics. There was this family who walked by and they all stopped and stared at me like I had committed a sin. I was so frustrated and cried about it the rest of the day even tho my dad said that people were gonna hate you for no reason no matter what but I couldn’t just stop thinking about it since I had put in so much work into learning Spanish just to have people look at me weird for it. They probably were racist too and I was just so mad.
I feel all of these, and I have told that I was too emotional so many times that I grew up hating myself and my emotions. I still struggle with loving my sensitivity to this day. 😢
I'm nearly 50 and for years I thought I was an alien from another planet, walking among humans who don't care so much, I woul always help insects, birds and animals who were in trouble and no-one cared, often being ridiculed, my senses are always switched on to high alert and I feel every bump on my emotional journeythrough life and couldn't understand why people just walk over and not care about everything/anything that was vulnerable or innocent. I have a stomach ulcer from worrying since I was 10 and always got the usual ' stop being so sensitive ' from friends and family and often felt embarrassed that I couldn'tswitch it off.
It's only recently I've found out with help from my therapist that it's a strength. So I'm now trying to make peace with it and be kind to myself .
The STRENGTH part . . . 100% ACCURATE.
Me realizing years later that I wasn't "absentminded", just struggling to focus in an environment where I was constantly overstimulated :)
I’m a peeeerty sensitive person. Sometimes when I’m around my friends they say things behind my back like “why does he have to be so sensitive,“ “what’s wrong with him,” “Can’t he just be normal.” But this video is really accurate! I have a lot of these traits 😋 sometimes I even think I could be a Therapist. I give a lot of people good advice and people tend to come to me when they have a problem.
I always find someone who says "you are too sensitive" or "you are too intense". Even my family. So I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me being sensitive or too deep. It took me 40 years to understand that there is nothing wrong. We just have to work our "too deep" for a healthier life. But I think an HSP never changes. We just know how to live this way. So the best thing an HSP can do is get as much information as we can and work on it. I actually learned how to say no. How to put myself first in some situations. It's a hard job but not impossible. It's all about creating habits.
I love the HSP videos you post. They make me understand me better. Thank you!

i recently found out im an HSP due to my therapist, ive always expressed my emotions VERY strongly and it often put others on the spot, some of my childhood friends frankly started to hate me because of it… luckily now im more aware of my emotions and im a lot more accepting of them, my therapist told me that feeling emotions is completely natural and nothing to be ashamed of. what she said really spoke to me to be honest, so i wanna share that; theres nothing wrong with expressing how you feel, it just goes to show that youre a human capable of having empathy.
Wow this is exactly how I am! I never thought I was a hsp but I guess I'm not surprised because ever since I was little everyone at school always bullied me for over reacting and that effected my physical and emotional health and I started to hide my emotions around people even family and got really depressed. I even had to go to a psychologist when I was like 11, but I'm happy I did because that really helped me and eventually I started to be more calm at school and my health got better but the bullying still continued until I was 14 when the 2 that bullied me the most at class moved to another school and my class just stopped bullying me as bad and I'm really happy! I'm 15 now and so much happier than I used to be!

Same here
Me and my younger sister had an argument infront of our mom. She was somehow accusing me of something because she misunderstood me. Mom seems to be on her side since I was starting to shout and in that point, I seem like I was over reacting to it. And as I was explaining myself, tears starts to form where in my sis said "then why are you crying" and scoffed and mom sighed knowing that I was being immature. At that moment I started crying all of a sudden, my hands shaking, my heartbeat beating loudly and i'm loss of words. I noticed that fhis happens to me a lot of times even at the littlest things.
But now as I learn from all those situations, I came to control my feelings and emotions and not let it lead me. I still struggle with the shaking and I easily cry but it isn't as worse as before. I hope for everyone who is a HSP get through that as well and learn from it. It might not be easy but it is a challenge we need to face.
Thank you for your videos, I learned a lot from it! It is something everyone would watch in the process of growing. This has also been a guide for me! I hope to see more of your amazing and calming videos

@@theopelegrinoayres9650 same :D tysm for replying
exactly🥺
@@michellyst ;-;
I really don't like loud background noise. Recently my nephew started pushing the door open and talking about me. I feel deliberately targeting and making me feel angry and upset. Because I'm in state of self reflection, I can't help think about which happened to me in the past. I feel that the dog or hamster understands me more. Sometimes you can't feel angry or bear grudges not that to calm down or get over it. I'm looking into stoic philosophy and inner child healing see if I can heal from trauma
Am I the only one who bottles up emotions and don't know if I am sad or happy?
Edit : I found out the root cause of it and i came overt it cuz things were mild so it was easy for me if you guys wanna ask something lemme know
As in you've become numbed?
yes, but you need to keep telling yourself that it's okay to feel either. it takes practice. and in no, you are not the only one. I still do it.
Most of us does. What we need are the ways to express ourselves because suffocated hearts suffer the most.
Yes all the time. Also being afraid to show emotions to people because of the fear they would take advantage of you
Yeah, I used to do this a lot more a year ago, when someone really close to me died. I think my brain used it as a defense mechanism to avoid the pain. But now I can’t tell what I’m worried about or sad about until it’s so overwhelming the emotions break through. I don’t know if this is what you experience, but yeah :)
This called me *HIGHLY SENSITIVE* in 9 ways
I teared up, that’s how well you described me. Being an HSP is absolutely a curse, it’s absolutely a blessing.
Yesterday in school, we were doing competitions between three classmates at a time. And i was up. The competituon was about who could remember more items that were infront of us, and the teacher asked therest of the class who thought i was gonna win, and no one voted for me, i got so hurt and wanted to go away, cuz it was like no one belived in me, i was trying to hide the fact i was crying but all the attention was on me and the other two classmates. So im pretty sure everyone noticed, i felt like no one thought that i was good, not even my friends voted for me. I won, but i still couldnt shake the fact that no one belived in me.
Im littreally crying rn
Like even tho i was telling myself i was overthinking i kept crying
I'm so sorry you had to go trough that
:( Having everyones attention in that kind of situation while crying, and feeling like no one believed in you. I don't know how you felt, but I can relate. What you felt and feel rn is valid and understandable.
Sending you hugs! I love you and I promise this will soon be a memory that won't take up as much space as it does now. I wish you well!
@@rlarsson6072 thank you❤❤
So I'm simply an HSP, not a picky, timid, over-reacting person like others said!
Thanks for making cute, kind, and informing video as usual. It just makes me so comfortable when watching your videos. Please keep up with the fascinating work!
Freddy fazbear a robot is a HSP????
At the age of 32 it's nice to finally get some idea what I might have been since I was a child. I have always struggled with my emotions and wondered why I developed such a bad deppression and anxiety from bullying, because to be fair many suffer way worse than I did. But it just stopped my life from happening and I have been so afraid of everything.
Now I have been in therapy for 2 years and finally starting to get on my feet and have started to live bit by bit. And it feels pretty good now ❤
I don't know why I felt the urge to comment, but if someone sees this I hope it gives you something. You can survive anything ❤
One time I was shopping for a watch in a dept. store; as I walked away empty handed I heard one sales lady say to the other, "She looked at every single watch in here!".
It's so accurate that I can't agree more! It's so difficult to be highly sensitive and getting along with people who don't see things the way I do! Its drains me out emotionally most of the times.
I already knew that I was a HSP for a while, but the second topic, about having to pour whatever bothers you out got me by surprise. I had no clue that had anything to do with being HSP, but everytime something really small happens and makes me angry or sad even if just for a brief moment I need to tell it to whoever's near me, otherwise I feel like there's something in my throat.
No real reason to comment this, I just loved the reletability I got from that lol
One time I started to cry when my teacher discussed the cruelties done during the Nazi period, I was the only one crying . I was made fun of a lot and everyone thought I did it for attention. Everyone things I overreact for attention like I’m too happy or too sad, but honestly I just hate the gaze of people and it’s very pressurising. After years and years of hating myself (and calling myself a weak ass because I hated fights and violence, I’m very scared of confrontations even if I’ve done nothing), I finally found this series about HSPs. Thank You So Much Psych2Go. ❤️❤️ I watched 5 of these videos… I feel like I found a lost piece of self love.
i feel like i can't really hate someone, i always end up forgiving. i'm more afraid of people hating me or being unsatisfied with me... i don't know if i am en hsp, but i feel like one..
So true
This video was great but can we talk about how absolutely adorable and soothing the art style is? love it!!
I tend to never express my emotions even when asked what is the matter and it stays all in my head having a war there! Is this only me?
I have the same issue. A war inside my head every single day. And I think that's the reason why most people don't even know I'm sensitive because on the outside I show not too many signs (except for a few of those numbered).
@@feelstora3 I agree! People around me often think I'm stubborn or arrogant for this! The problem of mine here is fear of judgement due to some past experiences!!!
@@sowmyakanipireddy7753 Yes, same. Especially when you had people telling you they don't want to have you in their
Me too and when I do express my emotions I feel like people get mad at me for overreacting and being to emotional and stuff so idk what to do
yeah i always have a war there every single day all because of my empathy
i freaking hate it
I’ve struggled with being highly sensitive, both from myself and from others/environment around me. When I was younger, feeling so deeply was catharsis and almost peaceful to feel. Perhaps somehow understanding that I CAN feel so deeply was relieving. Now as I’ve gotten older, I feel more exhausted and shocked that I am still so highly sensitive and unable to control it at times. It IS a blessing and a curse; both sides of the coin have their immense struggles.
Gosh yes..especially the last one. I do hate as much as I love. And if you hurt me deeply, I'll never think of you the same, ever. Completely shut out. Psych2go, thanks for validating us...especially when some of us have been invalidated about how we feel and perceive the world. I felt ashamed of myself for so long. These videos are beautiful and helpful.
I’m such a HSP last time I did something bad that made me feel bad I wrote a two page apology front and back 😅
OMG I WROTE A POEM RECENTLYY AND LAST YEAR DID IT FOR A WEEK
