HSPs have plenty of empathy to “feed” on, which makes them prone to “energy vampires.”
Healthy HSP friendships deeply support each other, using listening as a two-way street.
If a situation you can’t control has long-term residency in your head, you’re probably overthinking it.
While social anxiety is a mental condition requiring treatment, high sensitivity is a personality trait and not a disorder.
Since HSPs are easily overwhelmed by external stimuli, certain activities are more their speed than others.
Whatever social media platform you’re on, there’s a lot going on. This can be overstimulating for anyone, but it’s especially intense for HSPs.
Since HSP brains rarely rest, it’s even more important for us to find ways to feel at peace in the world.
HSPs often feel like they’re different from other people, but when they have a trusted community, they nourish themselves with human connection.
HSPs are overstimulated… a lot. But therapy can help you feel more at peace.
Being told to “stop being so sensitive” is just one reason why you may hide your sensitivity.
A highly sensitive person is more sensitive to just about everything — it’s like taking sensitivity and turning up the dial times a hundred.
