I assumed I must be an introvert. But it wasn’t people that wore me out — it was overstimulation.

Living abroad may be overwhelming at first, but it enables HSPs to be truly exposed to (and moved by) all the beauty in their home away from home.

Are you a highly sensitive person? If you relate to most of these signs, there’s a good chance you’re an HSP.

How do you end overstimulation and find peace when you’re a highly sensitive person?

A highly sensitive person is more responsive to just about everything — it’s like taking sensitivity and turning the dial up to 10.

There’s a specific set of tools HSPs can use to handle angry and difficult people — without feeling emotionally shattered.

An empath is someone who is highly sensitive to the emotions of others. They feel everything — sometimes even physically.

In stressful environments, HSPs are more likely to become sick or burnout., but in calm environments, they flourish.

Like almost every other highly sensitive introvert on the face of the planet, I spent so much of my life feeling out of place.

Only 15 to 20 percent of the population are highly sensitive people. As a result, high sensitivity is often mistaken for something else entirely.

High sensation seeking means a strong tendency to seek out new, intense, or complex experiences. Are you an HSP who’s also a high sensation seeker?

If sensitive people were more “normal,” the world would lose what it desperately needs: intuitive, empathic individuals who care and feel deeply.
