8 Signs You're a Highly Sensitive Person with a Strong Personality

Highly Sensitive People (HSP) make up 15-20% of everyone all over the world, and even rarer are those who are both HSPs and have a strong personality. Do you consider yourself as a highly sensitive person (HSP) or an empath? Are you among those who consider sensitivity a weakness? If so, that might not be entirely true. A person can be both sensitive and strong at the same time, especially an empath. Watch this video to see if you identify with some of these signs.

HSP’s are incredibly strong and often bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. ♥️

The video describes me so perfectly. I didn't realize that this was a thing, so the video caught me off guard. I'd been told my whole life that I'm strange for having this combination of traits, and often the conversation only happened in unflattering tones. I appreciate that this video points out that this combination of traits can be a superpower if we so choose to wield it properly.

I feel blessed to know that I am an HSP with a strong personality. I just found out that i’m an HSP earlier, but was so confused by being described. HSP hates confrontation, but finally i found that there’s an HSP with a strong personality which is definitely me😭

I've always wondered how I am so "soft" and breakable, but at the same time so intense, passioned and confident

I’ve always felt like I was just an odd person it feels nice to know that there are other people who can feel this way too :)

[ygjunghwaaan]

I never realised i was an HSP until i saw these videos. For a long time i felt like the odd sort who couldnt understand why they were feeling even the tiniest things so deeply or why my brain worked the way it worked.
Thanks so much for giving these vids💚...it sort of unlocked a part of me that i tried to keep hidden for a very long time.

[fanjestaluna]

I cried through the whole video because i finaly felt understood. EVERY point fits to me and i never understood why i'm so sensitive, an empath and still so confident and aware of myself and now i have a name for it. thank you so much!

[rebeccaoprea]

HSP is a blessing and a curse at times . Sometimes I just want to remove myself and shut out the world because I care too much . I may look like the top dog, but I always felt like the underdog, cause I relate with them better and stand up for them .

[Luna-dtdd]

I could listen to the speaker's voice all day, It's so calming.
