Are Introverts More Likely to Be Highly Sensitive People?
video description
I will say though, there's a difference between identifying as an HSP, and having Hypersensitivity. If you really have Hypersensitivity there are a lot of signs, or symptoms that could make it seem like you have ADD, Classic Autism, Asperges, or have PDD-NOS (sorry, if you can't find the meaning of that last one, I'm Dutch and can't find it in English.
Not all therapists, or phycologists say that Hypersensitivity is a real thing where people like me really experience stimulations differently. When I'm in a large group of people I can follow every single conversation and register what they're saying. I have special earplugs to help me focus on what I need to focus.
I can't walk into any type of bath and body shop if my nose isn't clogged (the only good part about allergy or flu season.
And bright lights are just difficult. I tend to put on and keep on my sunglasses way faster than anyone I know, or have ever seen, I should say.
And emotions are overwhelming to me. Way too overwhelming, which is, according to my current therapist who diagnosed me with it (my second therapist, isn't putting me on antidepressends for that reason. Because she knows how hard emotions are for me right now and always have been, but she also knows that putting me on them is gonna kill me on the inside, because no matter how hard emotions get for me to process, I need to feel them. That's such an important part of my Hypersensitivity.
My emotions are also my guide as much as they hurt me. I think that that's, in a way, kind of beautiful about my Hypersensitivity.

I think some introverts are introverts because they were restricted and didn't get to experience life, or were scared to do things. For example I've had childhood trauma in kindergarten and school when i was 3 and 8. Never really had real friends but I've had bullies at 3 years old, even the nannies bullied me. I wasnt used to interaction and places with many children back then and cried all the time. Instead of getting help saying it's okay i got ignored or stood in front of all the children and made fun of for crying and begging to call mom and go home. I was introverted since then and was scared to even go out of my house alone until 5th grade. I couldn't stay home alone either from all the scares kindergarten told me. A 3 year old child who's scared would obviously take it seriously when someone says you will get kidnapped if you go out alone. Im 14 now and still to this day I'm very sensitive and still have fears that someone will hurt me, however not as much. I don't know how to react to people sometimes and i take things personally but I'm working on that. I'm more extroverted now, i want to experience life and do things i couldn't when i was younger.

An HSP Introvert. I just cannot imagine my life without spending at least some time alone with my thoughts, books, articles, notes. I'm a big thinker. I have a wide range of interests covering grand topics of our beginnings, our place here, our future. Astronomy, history, geography, religion, ideologies, and all things in between. I can't imagine my life without them. I do like going out and meeting with friends - but I just need to be invited

Yes. Absolutely true. Being introvert you have your own space privacy. You dont busybody about other people. You dont care much. Dont bad talk. You dont judge people.
Suddenly people surrounding you, you feel like stranger talking to you and you receiving an unsual input, behavior you are not familiar with.
Tbh, Introvert not socialize very much so lack of skill communication. The ends tq for reading my thought haha

People out here embracing the fact that they are special little snowflakes instead of trying to grow some thick skin and a more logical mind smfh no wonder the older gens call us a soft generation, and with that I agree, I'm part of this generation so I lived enough with them to know that the elders were correct about that in most cases, where I live the youth isn't nearly as soft but is considerate and kind

I've taken two personality tests in the past year, one came back INFP and the other INTP, and both times the thinking/feeling category has been within 5% of the middle. I've identified with many reported characteristics of HSPs. I wouldn't call any of this scientific, but so far it seems to line up with what I know about myself.

I am so much a highly sensitive person, once I felt someone else's emotional pain even though the cause wasn't also pointed at me (the person who's pain I felt is a good friend of mine, and was sitting right next to me at the time. This happened two and a half years ago, and hasn't happened since.

I'm kinda confused with what I am. I'm very extroverted around my Friends and people I know (even if I'm around ALOT of people I don't know) but introverted when not with anyone I like/know. So what would I be classed as overall? An extrovert or introvert?

I'm really sensitive. I take things too personally even when it's not my problem and shouldn't care about. It'll be on my head for days, weeks, or even months. It's hard for me to let things go. Thanks for this. I needed it.

Introverts and Extroverts are equal. The only difference they have is introverts recharge by themselves, and extroverts opposite. That's the only difference. Introverts are not smarter, and extroverts are not nicer.

I'm definitely an introvert. I notice things that maybe nobody else notices, but I don't know if that makes me sensitive. Is that a negative connotation? I know it can be hurtful when it's something bad directed at me.

I think I fell in the not sensitive to most stimuli before I started hormone therapy. Although that could also just be that I was overly suppressive of my feelings.

I wish I wouldn't be such a high sensitive introvert, it just makes me hate myself more and it's generally rly hard to deal with it, especially when you're in love.

Is it just me, or did the lady's voice change very subtly at the end of the video? The one talking about the other videos, not the one doing the voiceover.

Being an HSP can be hard sometimes, like when someone makes a joke about you and you take it personally and they're like:
(Can't you take a damn joke )
