As a highly sensitive person, I realized I was drinking to feel less, but as a result, I was feeling so much more.

Highly sensitive people are some of the nicest people in the world — to everyone else. But be kind to yourself, too, especially during challenging times.

Getting enough sleep and carving out alone time are just two coping skills that should be in an HSP’s toolkit.

One thing I wish I’d known while growing up as a highly sensitive person is that there is no such thing as “normal.” It’s what’s “normal” for you.

HSPs have plenty of empathy to “feed” on, which makes them prone to “energy vampires.”

Moving can be overwhelming for anyone. Yet with a few tools in place — like taking breaks to recharge — you can survive a move as an HSP.

Finding peace among the chaos — even in a calm corner of the room — is just one way for an HSP to escape an overwhelming situation.

Just like how dandelions thrive in a broad range of conditions while Orchids require super specific conditions, HSPs also need certain factors to stay in alignment.

The more I learned about my sensitive nature, the more I grew as an HSP and discovered that I simply need more time and space to process things than other people.

Solo travel provides HSPs with plenty of their favorite things, from creating routines to having as much alone time as they need.

As an HSP, I knew my anxiety was an issue when constant fear and worry stopped me from doing things I enjoyed.

Although HSPs may be more sensitive to constructive feedback, it helps to remember that it’s usually meant to help you succeed.
