    Highly Sensitive Person here too. Glad I am not alone. I hear "You're too sensitive", "Just get over it", "You take everything too close to heart" way too often. But, on the other hand, i can notice when something is wrong faster than other people. So I got that going on for me... which is nice.

    My absolute favorite Ask Mayim Anything to date ! You tackled specific questions I’ve had. You stopped to say “what happened to you is real” You don’t need anyone’s Validation” ! That’s not only brave to say it’s necessary for many - myself included to hear! This wasn’t my question but I gained from it knowing I’m not the only one experiencing these difficulties and wondering how to navigate them or even if I have to. I know I don’t need your validation but it is sure nice to hear it! You mentioned how critical you are with yourself at the beginning of the episode- you are doing this - you are doing it extremely well - you are helping ME !

    How is it possible you have never interviewed Richard Schwartz ?! His work fits so well with the work of Gabor Mate and Michael Singer. Personally, it is helping me tremendously. Your work has helped me a lot and your honesty and vulnerability are what I like the most in your interviews. I wish there were more people like you in the world.

    I never knew why bright lights, extreme loud noises, and large crowds gave me anxiety.
    My family all my life always question me why, certain things really bother me, or give me anxiety.

  • @Kmbrgss
    @Kmbrgss 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I do agree that self diagnosis can be a fine line to walk, however, I also believe we can sometimes be our own advocate. In my case I took my symptoms to my doctor and for many many months I got the runaround. I did a little research, not self diagnosis but actual research into some root causes for those symptoms, took them to a different doctor and within a short time was able to assist in getting a Meniere's Disease diagnosis. Knowing what the triggers to my episodes were and understanding the condition helped my quality of life tremendously.

    • @dancing_fig
      @dancing_fig 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I *wholeheartedly* agree, Kmbrgss, and I think Mayim missed the mark here. Accessing a compassionate and objective healthcare provider is definitely the best option, but it can be tremendously difficult (and sometimes impossible) for a number of us to do. For me, the two most important questions to ask about self-diagnosis are: 1. what's your alternative? and 2. what's your next step going to be?
      If you don't have a good, timely alternative available, and so long as you're not going to start taking drastic action to treat yourself based on your self-Dx, then I don't see a problem with it. An official Dx may well be one of the next steps for a lot of people, but the research that came from self-diagnosing can be the thing that lets you know what questions to ask and what tests you need to get your doctor to run. (Autoimmune conditions are lots of fun!)
      And although everyone *deserves* to have the option of medical care available to them, the fact remains that a lot of people don't, especially when it comes to mental health care. For instance, my state never approved Medicaid expansion, and probably never will, leaving close to a million people in that maddening 'too poor for subsidies' limbo.
      So in the world as it is? Self-diagnosing is sometimes the best and only way that we can care for ourselves.

    • @mari97216
      @mari97216 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      For me it’s mostly a bad thing, well 99% of the time. I get so unwell, dizzy, head ache, feel sick.
      But these days Ive had a few of these bugs in my home that I cant seem to fully get rid of, its those that likes to be in the kitchen and in flour, kitchen drawers etc. and they have a scent, I hate it but I can tell if just one of these nasty ones is somewhere in my home. To me it’s a strong scent but maybe not to others. Meel beetle or something. They are pretty small.
      So if I come home and can smell one I try to find it and throw it out, I don’t want them to hang around. At this point I barely find any anymore but not gonna breath until they are 100% gone.

      I am too. I have 3 yrs allergy shots ages 4-6. I started having anaphylaxis once I gave up wheat in 30s and so after figured out I'm celiac.😳 Then learned I had heavy metal Toxicity & cilantro pills reduced level. All along I was typer sensitive to scents. Finally I was sent for a blood draw that determined that I'm missing one of two genes for detoxing. Wow! I made some diet & lifestyle changes and that has helped. Don't give up. Be well.

    I'm a Highly Sensitive Person. One of the things I find unhelpful is when I cry, and people tell me to stop. Allowing me to express my emotions would be much more helpful. I feel like people take it personally when I cry, and it is rarely about them. Crying also seems to make others uncomfortable. Perhaps because they are not as able to access and express those emotions.

    • @LivingWithCancer101
      @LivingWithCancer101 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I cry very easily and have been criticized foe being "weak" because of it. This has resulted in me being defensive and angry before I even get triggered to cry. I am very protective of other a who share vulnerable emotions, and I tend to lash out at people who are sarcastic, mocking and mean about crying...

  • @m_brokenleg
    @m_brokenleg 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    My fav AMA so far! And not only because learning about the high sensitive person I am (from my early kid days, to sounds & smells so my grandma used to say that when I was a kid I was as a hound dog..). Growing up, to smells & sounds added a high sensitivity against abuse & violence, both people & animals! Thank you 🫶🏽for talking about something that many of us suffer from, but that is often not taken into account. I feel finally understood! BRAVO👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    About rejection-sensitivity... it's one of the case studies in Peter Kramer's book Listening to Prozac. He discusses how Prozac essentially eliminated a patient's rejection-sensitivity which hit home with me as I always struggled with severe reactions. Reading about Prozac changing that was eye-opening.

    Acceptance really helped my abusive relationship. My mom didn't acknowledge it when it happened, so why would she acknowledge it now? I have clear and consistent boundaries now with her. It took a long time to get here and an even longer time for me to feel comfortable with it. I feel like if we were to talk about it, her not taking 100% ownership would be retraumatizing. On the other hand, my brother never realized what was happening, at the time and now wants to talk about it. I had to talk to his wife and explain I don't want to talk to him about it. I don't blame him for not helping or believing, but talking with him may be retraumatizing too. I just don't want too. Love this and love your openness to learn and research what you weren't already educated on.

    I am so fortunate that I have childhood friends who were actually there when I was going through the narcissistic abuse and they validate my experience whenever I get gaslighted(gaslit?) by this parent. I can call them and tell them that my mother says that "that never happened" and they will tell me, "oh yes it did-and worse."

  • @kellyfanelli1383

    I’ve learned through much trauma therapy that the only way out is through. I grew up in a place of don’t talk about anything that happens in this house outside of the house. I suffered for a long time, I started to think that I was crazy. But ya know what, I’m not. I found out that I didn’t need that validation from my family of origin. I just needed to get the help I needed. If I didn’t everything in my life would have been colored over by that abuse. I worked hard and broke the cycle. My daughter was raised in a home where she knew there was nothing she couldn’t tell me. And tell me she did!! I’ve got a well adjusted stable, successful 28 year old who I’m so proud of. Our parents shortcomings don’t define me!!! It’s like wearing sunglasses your whole life and then as they slowly come off I felt like wow, this is what it’s supposed to look like. We can all get the help we need. It may be scary at first but it’s scarier not to seek that help.
    Mayim, I absolutely adore you!! You are not only smart and talented but a beautiful lady who I’ve learned so much from. Keep it going. I’m 62 years old and recently lost my husband of 34 years and it’s a soul sadness that I don’t wish on anyone. In closing I want to say none of us are useless, we are not invisible. Never accept the unacceptable. You are one amazing human being and we all need to remember that part of the human condition includes that negative self talk at times. Meditation is a great tool. Know your worth. Love to all

    High sensitivity have pleasant experiences as well. Highly sensitive people enjoy the aesthetics of nature, art, nicely balanced environments and probably anything that is evolutionarily easy to process or was a pleasant/supportive part of their upbringing. I would guess that most HSPs are highly empathic, but not all HSPs are. HSPs are very much individuals, and will probably express that more so because of what they are aware of and upbringings. I tend to like jewel-tone depth in colors, for example, and may experience a pleasure that takes over some of my sensory processing and attention. The next HSP might find it more unpleasant or garish and prefer earth tones (overly simple example).
    I think if our dorsal vagal nervous system is amped up and not calmed down properly (somatic exercises), we will find a lot of things irritating, become hypervigilant or any stored traumas triggered easily.
    I wish that society would recognize more HSPs and that we could put our trait to productive and pro-social use.

    As a person who always struggled with being sensitive to light and sound, and not really knowing why, recently learning about what HSP mean, finally made it all makes sense, why i struggled with bright sunshine without sunglasses and why i struggled with loud noises, and changes, it made me feel better about it, now that i know what causes it.

The only thing that “drives me nuts” when people speak - whether I’m doing it, or someone else…is when people use “um” & “you know” as fillers - instead of simply…pausing.

    This is a really interesting video. When it comes to the sensitivity of human beings, there are people that are much more sensitive and much less sensitive than others. This is why many people have to be careful towards what they say or do to many people. I do believe that people depending on the personality and mental status do deal with rejection differently. Yes, I have learned before that being involved in activities and hobbies are a great way to cope with rejection, change and many other types of mental health issues. I love your channel so much Mayim! ❤

    I’m also a HSP as well as having rejection sensitivity disorder. I know you have a large viewing and listening audience, so I’m grateful you’ve brought attention to these issues.
    I want to make a point re the young person having difficulty concentrating on studying. In addition to the advice to turn off devices, you missed an opportunity to tell them that if it’s a constant, persistent problem they should ask their doctor to screen for ADHD. I know from personal experience that inattentive type ADHD flies under the radar. It’s the hyperactive ones who get attention and therefore receive treatment earlier.

    Hello Mayim, my name is Amanda, I'm from Brazil and I discovered you in the big bang theory, and I'm in love and fascinated by you and your work. I have anxiety too, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and a brain that never stops (I'm always creating conversations in my brain in different languages, and I dream the same way), and when I found that out, I started therapy and help with medication.
    I've always been fascinated by our brain, and how complex our body is, God is a perfect creator, and I love researching and studying more about it. And your videos are helping me a lot to improve my English, increase my mental health knowledge and learn more about myself and what my body is trying to tell me.
    Muchas gracias por compartir tu tiempo y conocimiento con nosotros, creo que me siento muy cercana de ti, cuando veo tus videos, te quiero!! Besos de Brasil ❤🤩

    Thank you for talking about HSP. One of your early guests mentioned it on his social media at some point and sparked something in me to research it and it was definitely an "Eurika!" moment for me. 60 years I suffered being the square peg in the round hole and these moments of being overwhelmed are not great but I understand what it is now and I can cope.

    Mayim, thank you for this channel. And your open, honest vulnerability!
    I would love to hear more from you on the history of the " Gifted " label and some of it's complexity.
    I am a solidly Gen X female. I was tested twice in early grade school and placed in "The Program" around the third grade.
    I believe that contributed to a very high bar and unrealistic mind set for me.
    Girls didn't have ADHD in my time.. But, I think that would have been more accurate.
    I don't know if I was any "smarter" (🤮) than anyone else .. But I was (am! ) a huge people pleaser and that makes my "attention super power" lean in that direction. If it's for someone else I can move mountains!
    This makes me appear as successful and strong ..a go-to person.. Together!
    I have recently learned about the label "twice exceptional".. I believe that describes me best , but I have a mental block against another label ( like Gifted) that sounds amazing!
    I mean, who wouldn't want to be exceptional?.. And not just once, but twice?!?
    It sounds like a lot to live up too again when it really just means that I am a bundle of coping mechanism held too tightly together by my perceived idea of what others expect or need from me!
    Anyway, that is my long way of asking Mayim Anything about this term Twice Exceptional and its missing chapter in the Gifted story. And to speak on the "lost generation" of women of a certain age, before we could have ADHD, or ADD, or whatever!
    What do you do when the "mask" starts to crack? When being "gifted" enough to strategize around your attention issues is no longer working? But you have built a life around being a certain kind of person?
    You are supposedly the "together" one. And you don't see room for you to be anything else... Because you are the "gifted" one!
    Maybe there aren't enough of us to warrant a deep dive on this... But maybe there are!
    And we are too afraid to come forward because the World has deemed us to be so very capable that we aren't allowed to feel "broken" or struggling?
    Yuck to all that "self pity" junk.
    Your podcast just feels like a "safe space" because of your own shared vulnerability.
    Even if you never visit this issue(or even read this 😊), I am very grateful for just that!

    Mayim, I have been following you for a couple of years now. I love the Q & A episodes. I agree with you that Jonathen would be helpful in giving his opinion on some of the questions in order to get a male perspective. I have become extremely hyper sensitive as I age. I hate that I cry when talking to anybody about a negative feeling ie. to my therapist or close friends. Please expand more on How to work on this problem.

    I grew up with 2 narcissistic parents. One is a very extroverted narc and the other one is the introverted narc(if that's a thing. Sorry im foreign) and it's made me highly sensitive. I'm in my 30s and now trying to decide if I wanna cut them out of my life completely. But it has helped me to spot other toxic ppl from a distance. I'm highly sensitive and I was diagnosed with PMDD because of my severe endometriosis. My hormones are so messed up. So that's a true struggle. But this video is really something I was looking forward to. And I'm glad I'm not alone or crazy. Being HSP dealing with 2 narc parents has made me strong and somehow I'm grateful for that.

      Dear, you can cut them off for your healing journey and in further time, you can decide how much contact you can tolerate. Some issues with your parents you have to accept, bc you can't change them or make them into the lovely parents you always wanted. And grief, bc it's a reason to grief for, that you have experienced what had with your family. Be angry, be furious, be every state of grief and become a better person for yourself at the end of your healing process. It will hurt as hell going through all hurtful moments, but if you acknowledge your feelings, feel your feelings & accept your behavior was trauma based, then you will be able to heal from your wounds.
      I wish you the best of luck, good therapists, money, love, friendships, support, mental health, wealth, happiness and success on your healing journey and further life.
      🙂 💜💐🍀
      You can do this! Believe in yourself, self-esteem, self-worth & your possibilities to get your power back.
