Remember being bullied everyday at school when I was a child. two boys said awful things that made me cry every day. as a HSP I got tired of it. I didnt want to cry every time they did something big or tiny.
They even tied me up to a tree so I didnt get to class one day. And they laughed.
Another time they broke a window with a rock and blamed it on me.
But one day was different as I felt a rage I never felt before. I was shy those days.
Shy
Introvert
HSP
But somehow one day I had enough of it. I raged and shouted at the two boys when we were older. And they feared me ever since. I became different every since that day.
Funny tho cause one of the boys started being nice to me and helped me at lunch carrying my food and glass of milk. He wanted to be on my good side.
The nicest people can become the most terrifying people if toyed with.
Now Im a ambivert and not as shy anymore. Ive become outgoing more. But Im still a HSP. and I cant control my emotions.

Oh, that's my friend! He has ADHS. I dunno if that's linked, but he can read me like a book. Once we were on a class vacation and the two classes lost each other. It was one after the first year so I didn't knew the people around me well. Before we lost each other on that vacation tho, the teachers told us to put our phones or airplane mode so we don't get calls, because those were very expensive at the place. So we couldn't fibd each other through that. I was with the teachers so we were a small group who gone to far away, so we walked back and found them. I felt guilty, for not supporting my friends back then and my friend pointed that out in seconds. Later that day we walked back to the hotel and most of us were talking to each other, but I was silent and kept looking down. The friend spoke to me and asked if I felt like I wasn't a part of the group and I did, but I didn't pointed that out, instead I nodded to another person who said I just miss home.

I used to see a psychologist, when I told her I couldn't stand all the traffic noise
and all the people and their noise when I go out anywhere she said that's just life. I don't think she should've said that at all. The fckin btch. I'm a highly sensitive person so I can't handle things like most people can. She was an insensitive unprofessional btch because of that and lots of other things she said. I'm still so angry with that btch for the things she said years later. Just because someone works in mental health it does not mean that everything
they say to you is right. Most of them are wrong, they don't know me and they can't understand me. I know what's right for me and they don't, so they should fckin shut up!

When it has taken 38 of your 49 years on this planet to find out there really is nothing wrong with you and you now totally understand who you are and why you do certain things that others don't - of course that is after having this cause my lifetime worth of anxiety, being bullied all through school because I was shy, quiet and oh did I mention gay also, 7 relationships that didn't last long at all as I am HSP and they all were not, seeing 11 total therapists (none of which were able to help me because I didn't know what it was to tell them. On one hand I am very happy I NOW know what this is, I just wish I knew sooner and that it didn't come at such a high cost to mental health.

I think I may be a HSP, but Im not sure, Im ( sometimes ) okay seeing violent things, and Im not in touch with my inner self, I have problems to understand what I feel and if its real or Im just acting.
But that last one may be cause I have depression and dont really admit it so I just hide it and say: Youre just acting like you have depression to get atention! and act happy / serious even if Im streesed, mad or whatever, and those things made me be unable to say if what I feel is real and to not be able to tell some feeling from other, buuut anyways, I relate with all the other things lol.

As someone with HSP, social gatherings can feel like trying to walk through a solid wall.
Combination of light, sound etc. All add to make it feel like a wall.
And unfortunately, i'm surrounded with people / family that can't comprehend what it's like to be overly sensitive.
So they constantly try and recommend me to go out and be social, attend lectures about various subjects etc.
But i get so easily overwhelmed that i can't even go home for more than a few hours to have dinner with family, without having to spend the next week recharging.

In my opinion it doesn't even matter if you are a hsp or not. You should always listen to yourself and seek to fulfill your needs as a person like taking a break or doing things more slowly. I for my part can identify myself with some of the points but I've also grown out of some of the others. Just remember to see it as some kind of a gift and react accordingly to that. If you're overwhelmed by anything and you cannot manage the situation it's also okay to get out of that.

It would have made life much more manageable if I would have known about HSPs earlier in my life. I am 66 now, and as I look back, being an hsp caused me to hide myself and my emotions under a barrage of food. Discovering that I am an hsp has helped me to see why I have struggled with so many things, including feeling like an anomaly. I now embrace this trait, and am learning to work with it instead of expecting myself to be normal, which is something I never felt anyways.

Anyone manage to shut down feelings about certain ppl entirely bc you just can't deal with them anymore? I do this with my self-centered, emotionally abusive parents but I don't cut them out entirely bc that would hurt my sister & bc I want my kids to on rare occasion visit them (not left alone tho. So I just shut down all emotions & put them in the acquaintance rather than family part of my brain. It's the only way I can cope.

Im teaching myself to demand less of myself. Like when I go to a social event, I just say: All I have to do is go. Thats all. I dont have to impress anybody, join conversations. I can leave when I want. That relaxes me. I can only handle small groups. And still I need a day for myself to recover. Its good to accept thats the way you are. Always stay true to yourself no matter what other people do or expect from you.

Ive never identified with one of your videos so much. My professors described me as this just a few days ago. I never realized Im a slow processor until recently. Overstimulation is a thing when multiple devices are playing different sounds at the same time. But I will say, I like spontaneity when I dont have other things to do. This was great!
Also, is there a difference between a HSP and an empath?

Am i the only one who as a kid would pass scenes in movies and such cuz i emphasized too much with the emotions of a characters in the scene? I don't do it as much as i used to but i still get the urge to do do sometimes. When a character would be embarrassed in public for example, i couldn't stand watching it. I've always thought it was just a weird habit of mine but never gave more thought to it.

I relate to pretty much all of these except for the fact that I tend to mask my emotions in most cases, especially sadness or anger. That and violence doesn't phase me very much, the thing I hate about violence is that it tends to stick with me that, wow, that person can no longer enjoy their life even when it's a film of sorts and I KNOW its staged.

Most of the traits apply to me. But I tend to separate the the violence in two categories: the real and the fiction. I love horror movies and they don't make me trigger over sensitive emotion, however if a movie is based on a real story like WW2 or some other war. or even the news in TV I prefer not to watch. It makes me a lot uncomfortable.

I related to most i dont think im the most introspective of myself. But i get overwhelmed with things i see others not so much. And as i pay attention to it more i need alone time. I didnt know that for a LONG time. But i feel amazing, clear and peaceful when i do it. Which sometimes i feel guilty doing.

I know I am HSP but I make decisions ahead of time to avoid that issue and I was never bothered by loud noises or crowds but I am bothered extremely by someone yelling at me. Also I love horror movies because I know thats not real but I cant watch the news at all or I am drained so badly I need a nap

I have discovered I am an HSP three weeks ago, and my world, life all make sense. From a very young age, I always thought I was different, but could not put my finger on it. Now I know, I feel I can be myself, am free to embrace who I am. Going to have a little cry now.

I try really hard to hide how sensitive I am because whenever a show slight emotion my mother calls me dramatic and tells me that I can't handle a joke ( her jokes are to tease my insecurities ) so yeah, I try not to interact with many people anymore.

People used to stray away from me at school because I was overemotional and certain things that most people would shrug off bothered me. I dont know for certain if Im an HSP, but I think its a possibility.
