Signs you can be a sensitive personality type (HSP) : When you are hungry, your blood sugar drops, and you can’t concentrate. Moreover, you might even feel dizzy until you eat something. That is how the body works typically but if you find yourself hungry often, research tells that you might be a sensitive person. Due to deep mind processing, you might have a rich inner world. When you were a kid, if you had a rich imagination and people were always amused by what you came with, you could be a sensitive person. Several signs indicate that a person might be sensitive or become sensitive. General and surprising signs like being intuitive or prolonged hunger are all backed by research and indeed show the presence or the probable birth of a sensitive attitude.
Although there are many positive aspects of being a sensitive person (such as greater ability to listen and affirm, greater empathy and intuitiveness, better understanding of others’ wants and needs, etc.), in this writing we will focus on aspects of high sensitivity which adversely affect one’s health, happiness and success, and often complicate relationships. Below are 24 signs of a highly sensitive person, with excerpts from my books: “Are You Highly Sensitive? How to Gain Immunity, Peace, and Self-Mastery” and “How to Communicate Effectively with Highly Sensitive People”. These traits are organized into three major categories: Sensitivity About Oneself, Sensitivity About Others, and Sensitivity About One’s Environment.
Highly sensitive people tend to be hard on themselves and others. Changing the way you think about a situation can change the way you feel. For example, if your thoughts are focused on how unfair your boss is or how mean your sister is, you’re likely going to continue to feel bad. However, replacing those thoughts with healthier, more balanced thoughts, can help you feel better. Try reminding yourself that everyone makes mistakes and accept the fact that others will hurt your feelings at times.
So, you are super sensitive. So what? That isn’t the end of the world. Being very sensitive to stimuli around you is okay. The 21st century contains more labels than any other century. There is a label for literally everything. Almost as if there was a secret, invisible influencing force, people tend to judge and discriminate based on these futile labels. Unfortunately, Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is a label too. More info about Self Care Tips for Sensitive People.
Being an HSP can have its own advantages. Turn your sensitivity from a weakness into a weapon to help you deal with problems in your life. Being sensitive to everything means that you are better than other people at finding the positive sides of everything. Usher in a sense of optimism to make situations easier for yourself.
Category One: Sensitivity About Oneself. Tends to “beat oneself up” when falling short of own expectations. Is afraid of rejection, even in relatively minor situations.
Category Two: Sensitivity About Others. Feels self-conscious in romantically intimate situations; excessively worries about partner’s approval; is unreasonably afraid of being judged or rejected by partner.
Being a Exceptionally Sensitive Person also sometimes known as (HSP or ESP) is a bitter reality. There are many human beings on this globe who are categorized as an ESP. We can also say that almost every human being on this planet is an sensitive person in one way or another. Some or the other sensitive trace is there in each of us. Now, let’s talk about some with various traits in this article. More info about Traits to identify sensitive person.
HSPs seek answers to the big questions in life. They ask why things are the way they are and what their role in all of it is. If you’re a highly sensitive person, you may have always wondered why other people aren’t as captivated by the mysteries of human nature and the universe as you are.
