The HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons)

Reina princess · Aug 31, 2016

Being an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) has taken a toll on me.
People don't understand us. We connect with animals, music, nature, than anything else...we prefer a solitary life so that we can digest everything around us. We have a lot to process.

Social interactions and gatherings are overwhelming to us, they are simply irritating. We get to understand people's emotions at a deeper level than an average person.
We look too much into people and things. We are highly intuitive. We see details that others don't. We are about 15-20% of the world population.

We cry over anything, from watching a sad cartoon movie to seeing an animal getting hurt...it just becomes too much to take in. Horror movies, anything scary is unbearable.

My family and people around tell me to toughen up, they think am weak, too emotional, a crybaby, but that's who I am (an HSP), it's genetic. It's not a disease. They just need to take it easy with me.

Relationships are usually tough on us because we don't connect with people easily (not even to our partners). And the fact that we are highly sensitive to our surroundings ie. Noise, smell, weather, fabrics, skin, makes matters worse.

I love my Personality.

Does anyone connect?

Good to know.

Watu wengi hawatuelewi na wanatuweka ktk kundi la watu wanaojidai, hawajui kwamba we simply find it difficult to connect with people.

Tunafurahia maisha tukiwa peke yetu kuliko kuwa na kampani ya watu.
Ukishajitambua, ukajikubali hupati tabu.

HSPs connect with nature coz they feel that nature is understanding, humble than most people are.

Personally, I find most people rude and not considerate of others.
But when I turn to animals, birds, hills, the sky, the waters, music...oh my God, they are unbelievably pure, innocent and fulfilling.

So, how do u cope with this social world

Great..!

I watch movies too but I make sure they are not those horror, bloody movies or those involving a person or an animal dying coz they can get me really upset.
That's why I always find myself drawn to shows about lifestyle, fashion, travel, nature, etc.

This is the wolrd of introverts, sometimes I found myself in that situation but I never considered tht as HSPs. I dont know in whch category i'm falling but it's a most relaxing situation for me.. Exploring the nature, animals birds, insects etc

HSPs include both introverts and extroverts but most HSPs are introverts.
U will know u are an HSP by looking at the behavioral characteristics of HSPs.

I not sure if i'm among them, but i share some traits with HSP.
I don't like animals at all but i keep because i sell them to get money. I'm connected to nature, hills, rivers, beaches.
I watch movies but not horror or knifey ones. I like spying movies or those with happy endings.
I'm an introvet person, i think its not important talking with people i don't know. I make noises through social media but in person, seldom i talk.
I have very few friends, my friend's cicle is too tight. I don't add new ones.
I barely trust no one even my friends. I don't have the so called close friends.
I'm planning to buy my own island to only stay with my family. I don't like noises or city vibes.

That's typical me. Ila watu wengine (extroverts) wanadhani sie tunajikuta au labda tuna aibu.
Getting out of social gathering helps us recharge and digest things

100% yaani siwezi ku-interact na jamii kabisa! Mara nyingi nakua peke yangu nacheki movies tu za Akina 007 and the like!

I understand that, but am talking about HSPs here and not introverts. There is a difference between these two.
