Scientists have a new way of identifying the genes behind personality traits — and it might have just revolutionized the study of HSPs.
Do highly sensitive people need as much alone time — or more — as introverts? A growing body of brain research may tell us why.
Narcissists may not intentionally target sensitive people, but can have a higher success rate of putting HSPs under their spell. Is there finally a way to change that?

Research suggests humans may have up to 33 senses, not five. How many of them could impact your high sensitivity — and sensory overload?
They’re up to 10 times more common than narcissists and do just as much damage. Here’s how to deal with them.
