this whole video made me feel so happy cause i felt appreciated and even realized theres probably a few things here i should mention to my gf
im super sensitive to criticism and sometimes if i start to get upset over a thing i can't really control she'll mention how much my breakdowns upset her rather than comfort me
it's usually i hate when you do this or some sort of scolding about how i should act. i know she's trying to help but she always goes about it the wrong way, and sometimes i cant stop feeling as if im a burden to her.
earlier when she did this though she realized it hurt me and she comforted me, and she helped me remember how important i am to her and everyone else.
im so glad i have her. even if she's all the way across the country from me i'll never give up on loving her.
sorry to whatever poor souls read my rambling nonsense, its 5 am and my brain still wont shut up, also typing on a keyboard gets really fun after the first minute or so

It's such a relief to know that I'm not alone! I'm too nervous to even try courtship, I'm a nervous wreck in the first place so bringing somebody else into the mix is quite an adjustment.
I totally relate to your advice on phrased like too sensitive; when somebody delivers such an assessment of something about yourself that you can't help, it hurts. I'm not doing it on purpose. I don't enjoy feeling my breath constricted with sudden changes/adjustments, I don't enjoy feeling overstimulated by news and media. I don't enjoy second-guessing myself and wondering what I did wrong even when I didn't do anything wrong. I don't enjoy apologizing for myself. It's exhausting!

Being a HSP I am convinced that Im wrong, dramatic, broken, insane, and too sensitive by my partner. I was told thats its really hard to be in a relationships with a person like me, but I dont know how to became and act normal. It makes me feel like I didnt deserve to be loved. In my country its really hard to get a professional therapist help, because apparently Depression and other mental health issues are not real here
But for everyone who feels the same as I do, Im gonna be this one person who is going to tell you that you are not broken or too sensitive or too much. You are you, and your feelings are valid.

In elementary school we had one hsp in the class. At first we tended to their every need. But over time people starting to say stuff like stop babying her. Which apparently is the opposite of what youre supposed to do. Eventually elementary me began yo think this too, and we were un aware what an hsp was at the time. So we called her names like cry baby and stuff. I know can imagine how hard school mustve been for her, and can somewhat relate to such tense emotions. So this video caught my attention, and gave me a better understanding.

Im an HSP and as HSP gets strongly attached to things they like, i also always dream of this fairy tale-like romance. Not in the sense of princessy thing, just the fated one, the one for life, the one that that you just know you want and want you back. The one that will always come back to you no matter what happen. Thats exactly why i avoid being in relationship because i always seek for impossible things i always hide my sensitivity and am not ready to show it, as its still viewed as a weakness by a lot of people out there

Remember, always make your partner feel comfortable and happy, however, never forget about your own happiness. If being with an HSP is too much for you, there is nothing wrong with it either, and don't let people tell you that you are being a jerk, immature or a bad person for not being able to carry all the compromises an HSP, or any kind of person demands. Both of you must feel comfortable and happy with each other, being both able to provide what the other needs to feel loved and appreciated.

It's hard to socialize with a HSP. I'm a hsp too but this person just takes the cake.
They got offended when I said something about their verbally abusive parent and then suddenly they cut me out. Cancelled me on social and didn't even gave me a chance to communicate my thoughts and the reason why I said it. (I was being sympathetic)
Called me a lot of shit stuff and even brought up my wrong ideals of being a pro choice. Like I'm an abortionist and I have a mind of a criminal.

Ive gone through this whole highly sensitive person playlist, and there wasnt a single video or hint about the entire playlist was about how a person can conform to the highly sensitive person, but nothing addresses the fact that the highly sensitive person could do things to make it easier to date them are there any hints or tips for that?

I'm not that bad. But I get triggered by societys foolishness. And I can read most people like a book. And I store information forever. So if they lied to me 20 years ago I will figure it out. People are surprised what I remembered from years ago. Yes and people have to becareful what they say. Because again I can read people like a book.

Im dating an HSP that also has an anxious attachment style. Do you have any advice on that? Its tough for both of us, but mostly her. Because I feel like Im walking on eggshells to not hurt her. Im also recovering from a divorce and my Moms death. So, I am healing and trying to be more emotionally available for her. But it is draining.

To find out I am a HSP after all these years(or something close to it) is not surprising but still hits hard. Me and my girl r going thru stuff rn and have taken a break, and as her friends no, I would hate for us not to get together as things simmer down because of how much I feel for her. But time will tell. Thanks for the video

I am a HSP and I don't think my partner fully understands. I love him so I am more susceptible to being sensitive with him, his words, tone or lack of understanding makes me sad quite often. I feel like the needy one I try not to bother him at all and keep things to myself. It's not a good feeling. Need prayers.

My girlfriend is a HSP. We fell in love right away, but the relationship has become somewhat challenging. She flip flops on most of her decisions. One week she wants to marry me, the next week she needs a 1 month break? I'm being as patient as possible, but she's not making it easy for me.

Well dang, I'm a bit convinved I'm HSP myself now. I'm very emotionally adept and tend to worry about some of the smallest things, and sometimes that has felt like an annoyance to a partner or friend from my perspective. I feel a little more heard with this video, so thank you

She sweetly says imagine how they feel. that's the trouble. The mass majority of society is emotionally very very lazy. They don't see any point in putting forth the effort to engage with someone who is m o r e than worth their precious efforts.

Be genuine, try to communicate effectively, acknowledge your partner's emotions, plan ahead, give your partner time to adjust, don't ignore another's discomfort. So, in other words, be normal? :) My my my, what the world has come to, hasn't it? :)

I'm definitely a HSP. Recent partner is not, more of the opposite. To be told it's too much when I saw that I started tearing up, I've been told that but to be told that by someone who said they loved me? It's really like a deep stab in the gut.

Sometimes I have to be remembered of the nuanced of being am HSP hahah, but thanks. Also, it would help if you sometimes depict the HSP as a male, and the non-hsp partner as female, so more of us male HSPs find it easier to accept it.

I am a sensitive male, I wish others saw it as a strength rather than a weakness. I am a teacher and talk to kids about issues they are to scared to approach others about. I can be assertive if the situation demands it.

I relate to every single one. Recently having my first date in years, first date with a woman and realising I'm a HSP, I'm processing a lot of big emotions. I need to get a new therapist and see them pretty soon I think.
