I totally agree with the 8 hours in bed, 2 hours of alone time for the mind to drift, and one day a week with nothing to do. On the nose!

It kinda suprise me that almost everybody here hates to be a HSP. :S When I found out I was a HSP, I was happy because I finally understood some "weird" things of myself! I always have felt an outsider and I'm fine with it, even more now (maybe because I'm only 16). I know life as a HSP can be very intense. But on the bright side: when I'm happy, I feel so fantastic. Because as long as I feel things, I feel alive! And no non-HSP will every feel that way.
Thank you, Elaine Aron! You helped me.

I'm an HSP with a hard childhood (my father was an alcoholic; my mother neglected me). I can suddenly and easily cry for no reason; please people; love arts; fear light and noise; love deeply; have a hard time to let things go; and feel pain deeply. It was very hard for me to cope because people around me did not have the knowledge of how to treat an HSP. After many years of living with depression and anxiety, I now feel much better and find happiness again thanks to meditation. Some advantages I get from this trait are being good at understanding complex concepts (I'm a theoretical chemist myself); being a genuine person; self-motivating; and good at reading people.

Elaine Aron embodies the calm, cheerful, thoughtful, sensitive person at their best

[AfroAsiaticLanguages]

It is HSP, I'm male and struggle to repress the tears when I speak of anything very meaningful, or that I strongly believe in/feel, to people and feel exhausted afterwords. You are not alone, we desperately want a kinder more gentle world :)

I am a classic HSP and had childhood trauma.I was abused by a sibling physically and mentally and my parents were emotionally unavailable.but I was an incredible nurse, worked with AIDS patients and in the ER

Dr. Elaine Aron's book, "The Highly Sensitive Person, " is a life saver and game-changer for all HSPs. Thank you Dr. Aron.❤

I was diagnosed with HSP by my Psychologist. I took a personality test and had to answer over 500 questions.
The problem with me is that I tend to come off as either cold or distant, but that's not true. I am the most sensitive person. I cry over someone snapping at me... I feel empathy for others, if I am around anyone who's had a mean comment said to them, I feel like I am being attacked also.. even though it's nothing got to do with me. HSP is a curse.

Who knew this was a real thing! I am 66 have struggled with performance ‘black outs” following intensely stimulating circumstances. Too much time in fluorescent lighting, too much time indoors surrounded by noice, confusion, and stress, and too much time absorbing conversations and people’s energies affect me greatly. Thank you for this clear and concise explanation for a condition I have had for a very long time but thought I was alone with.

As visiting Dr Aron's website, I burst into tears. I feel I'm understood. I started knowing my personality by a very closed friend who always said I was too sensitive, easily got upset & always took things too seriously. I like doing things alone because I enjoy the peace & quietness of my mind, but most people (including my closed friend) who know me always consider me as being shy and quiet. What they don't understand me is I'm actually extrovert & enjoy meeting new people when I travel alone.

I believe I'm a HSP who is also an empath. Do you find people like me are nostalgic or tend to daydream about the past and even prefer old movies?

I’m a highly sensitive person and have struggled with anxiety for many years. As for my childhood, at home I was always loved and cared for. It was in school where I felt different and not like everyone else, so I tended to be shy and quite a loner at school. As an adult I’ve grown to now be able to make friends easier but I still worry about how I come across to people and stress out if the atmosphere changes between me and someone else. Outwardly, people think I’m confident, but deep down I’m very insecure. I’ve just devised my own mechanisms to mask it.

Some HSPs may even find that most relationships can be overwhelming and overstimulating. Even with their own parents and children. Whom they may love dearly. They may find only a few individuals that they can allow in and feel completely comfortable around.

I am a HSP and proud to be one. Let's get together - we can create a paradise we deserve. Infinite love and gratitude to you all x x x:-) :-) ;-)

I’ve read all her books and to me the most meaningful piece of information I received is that HSPs have a inborn spiritual need and pursuing those interests are good and necessary for them. My husband is a ridged Catholic (I was born and raised Catholic, but way more flexible in my approach). His approach pushed me to explore all faith traditions and spirituality without the religion and I feel I have found a new path and focus in life once I allowed myself to explore outside one tradition. Follow her work, it will set you free!

[MABYSS]

The Highly Sensitive Person was one of those books that changed my life. So grateful for it.
