Oh god. how hard it is to finally find a label for myself, to explain all these complexities and issues i had since my childhood. after 30 years of existing I finally find the exact accurate description of myself, maybe the only thing that may not be accurate is that I dont mind loud noise. otherwise the 12 points are extremely accurate and this makes me so emotional now. It was very very hard to live with this, to be different than all people around you, trying to explain over and over and over again the intense feelings and emotions and pain while you get that repetitive response just take it easy, do not overthink it. life was so hard without knowing this fact that it's a trait and that it is proved. I was so hard on myself to criticize myself as a weird and depressing person. if anybody belongs to this category I want to say I am so happy there is some species who look like me and who may have gone through the same pain i had. I am grateful I have peers and friends in this.

I really hate how you display being an HSP as like this all or nothing thing and not as the spectrum it is. I, for one, am an extroverted HSP and many aspects about my high sensitivity have changed due to a lot of Depression and therapy. Yes I do well under pressure, its a trauma response. Yes I do well with criticism, I needed to become emotionally mature to survive. Yes, I am perfectly contempt with setting up and reinforcing my boundaries, because I have destroyed parts of myself by not doing that and learnt from it. And yes, I can function on about four hours of sleep each night because years of insomnia force you to adapt at some point. Not having some of these traits does not mean youre not an HSP. You cannot grow out of it because it is a genetic trait, not a state of mind. You might relate to some things more than to others and that is normal because again, its not this all-or-nothing thing, its a spectrum and way less two-dimensional than is portrayed here.

I'm HSP with Asperger's and severe depressive disorder. It was a relief to finally be diagnosed as an adult instead of putting myself down that I'm dumb. And here's one for the books. I was dumped when I was 16 by someone I loved, and he chose my (ex)girlfriend. I was shattered and have carried the hurt & anger all through the years. It hasn't controlled my life though, I don't think about it all the time, and I developed techniques to stop intrusive thoughts about the event. Fast forward to the present day. I searched (I don't recommend doing this) and found both (not together) had become extremely successful and accomplished, something I never achieved due to intellectual deficits. Still struggling with not berating myself, and yeah I still feel the breakup pain almost like it was yesterday. Try as I might, I can't shake it. I'll be 70 next year.

I relate to all of these, except for the ones that say You don't like loud noises or You can't be around other people for too long.
I personally love loud environments, and I get uncomfortable when a room is too quiet. I'm also a MAJOR extrovert and thrive off of conversations and interactions with other people, especially when I notice I'm making them feel good and comfortable. I immediately feel drained and lonely without people. But, when I'm in an area with a lot of yelling lecturing, and hostility, I get very anxious and have to leave. However, those creating the hostility think me creating boundaries, such as needing to be alone, is disrespectful.

I can get highly sensitive if I did something wrong. I know that we all make mistakes but I will just keep thinking about it all day. Just one little mistake and my mood will drop like a roller coaster. Sometimes I have the feeling of not being good enough or why did I do that. Maybe with other things like homework and stuff, I can get stressed out very easily. I can sense people's mood very quickly and I will try to avoid awkwardness at all cost. Living like that can be very tiring for me but that's just my personality

As a highly sensitive person myself, I can totally relate to these 13 problems! It's tough feeling everything so deeply and being easily overwhelmed by sensory input. But at the same time, being highly sensitive can also be a gift - it allows us to appreciate beauty and connect with others on a deeper level. It's important for us to recognize and honor our sensitivity, while also finding ways to manage it in a world that can be overwhelming at times. Thanks for sharing this insightful video!

How late is too late to realize you're an HSP? I experience all the problems listed above, even intense artificial air directed at me makes me feel uncomfortable. Over time I've found that avoiding my own emotions and overanalysis is easier, but oh-so-wrong. Make your own decisions and think for yourself, don't let parents' or friends decisions and opinions become your new pair of glasses. You and I are just way too deep, only we can see the very bottom of it.

I quit my job as a customer care executive because I couldn't deal with the noise and sleep deprivation. I am still taking medicines to recover my earache and headache because of the prolonged use of earphones during my job time. And I am avoiding people as much as possible. This video mentioned all the things I have struggled with since childhood. Now, I am looking for a job that won't be detrimental to my mental health.

Sensitive people are not a problem for others. Others not being understanding of sensitive people are the problem. It's left over from the dog-eat-dog/domination and control part of humans that kept the stronger people surviving. But this planet is so amazing with the diversity of people, and if everyone would just be a little tolerant of others around them, it wouldn't be so difficult to live here.

My family:
Stop being so sensitive, toughen up.
Stop crying, its not even a big deal.
Stop overreacting to everything.
Its fine, youre just being crazy.
Hurry up. If youre this slow at everything you might as well become a homeless person.
Also my family:
Why are you still crying?
What do you mean, you dont want to go with us?
Why dont you like us?

For me it's yes to all ( and I know there are other people like me, and so far in my life I haven't been feeling the positive aspect of being an HSP. Many people including my family are not aware/informed of this trait. Unfortunately, I only heard about this trait about 9 months ago (I'm 42 years old) Therefore, I currently struggle with clinical depression and social anxiety

I dont feel comfortable with the term: HAVE HSP. Its not a disorder or dysfunction! It is wonderful that we can bring an awareness about this type of personality. It helped me personally to understand myself and accept and love myself as highly sensitive person. However, we need to be careful about labelling and treating personalities as something outside of normal.

2: 31 I don't have this one. And this one is only bc of my asd.
4: 33 This is only when the person acts aggressive about their discontent for the item i offered. No, its not about just them saying no its when they act extreme (Eg. Throwing a fit, yelling, look at me like they wanna kill me. And unfortunately it happens too often at home

Yes, this sounds like me. Apart from the empathy and being able to say no. When there is something I don't like or don't want I find it easy to say no. I stand up for myself. The other things, well they are harder. But what the hell can one do? Nothing! I find myself responding again. But what's the use?

One of the most painful, unforgettable, and avoided traumas for me is animal cruelty and pictures of it! It feels commonly forced upon my heart in so much media. I escape these images as quickly as possible, but feel tricked into having them thrust upon me.

It is very interesting, how many particular characteristics have people, bad or good, finally they become characteristics of special people, high intelligent, great personality, etc. I think it isnt so in real life! Some of them are difficult persons

I just hate it when I can sense someone being obnoxious, angry, irritated and so on and when I speak up about it and try to calm them down, they'd just straight up deny it and make it sound like I'm lying and I'm making a big deal out of it.

This video is so spot on. I've met a handful of other HSP's over the years, but because I also have Asperger''s Syndrome, I'm even more sensitive than the typical HSP. Would someone please design an ear plug that rates at least 60dB?

I can't stand it when someone tells me to stop taking things so personally, or get out of my head, or to let things so. It's like telling a fish to stop swimming. These traits are in my nature and are extremely challenging to manage.

OMG all of it is soo relatable! Soo many things make sense to me. I may like violent movies and gore at some level but at the same I cannot handle drama movies or emotional movies. I evade them like a plague, they drain me.
