Are you struggling with the effects of being a highly sensitive person?
Right now, as a result of being a Highly Sensitive Person, you may be experiencing:
- Deep emotional responses to both positive and negative experiences
- Feeling overwhelmed by sensory input like bright lights, loud noises, or strong smells
- Strong empathy that sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish others’ feelings from your own
- Noticing subtleties and nuances that others miss
- Needing more time to process experiences and make decisions
- Feeling different or misunderstood by less sensitive people
You're realizing that your high sensitivity is getting in the way of your life:
- You become easily overwhelmed in environments others find normal
- Your need for downtime and processing is misinterpreted as antisocial or weak
- You absorb others’ emotions to the point of emotional exhaustion
- Your sensitivity to criticism makes professional feedback difficult to handle
- You overthink decisions and struggle with perfectionism
You’re wondering…
- Is there something wrong with me, or is this a normal variation in human temperament?
- How can I protect my sensitivity without isolating myself?
- Are there others like me who understand this experience?
- How can I explain my needs to others without seeming high-maintenance?
- Can I learn to use my sensitivity as a strength rather than seeing it as a weakness?
You’re longing for…
- Acceptance of your sensitivity as a valid and valuable trait.
- Strategies to manage overwhelm without complete withdrawal.
- Relationships with people who understand and appreciate your sensitivity.
- Work and living environments that accommodate your sensory needs.
- The ability to set boundaries without guilt or shame.
- Recognition of the gifts that come with high sensitivity.
