What does it mean when I start crying because I’m finally starting to understand myself? Last night I had a terrible reaction to a bad smell and my mother told me she worried about my attitude in social situations because I was, to her, completely irrational. She couldn’t understand that the smell, the confrontation, everything just caused me to shut down and I couldn’t explain it. Maybe I’m just HSP.

Yes, this is so me! Still can’t stand itchy sweaters, eating noises or listening to knives being sharpened. And don’t even get me started on the crying. Feels amazing to starting to understand, and accept (!), who I am and I am so happy to know I’m not alone 🙂

I always, ALWAYS, make remarks about things such as a certain scent, sound, sight or some simple observation like that, and most others always respond in a way that makes it seem obvious. I’m like DUH it’s obvious, but do you even notice the pure, core essence of beauty, the nuances of each aspect of a sight or sound or touch or smell mingling together to create such an “obvious” everyday thing? If this is being obvious, I don’t wanna change (even if it causes me to overthink). ?

Oh yes…Elaine Aron’s book introduced me to myself! Although, I’m not quiet, haha.

In reply to Shawn Kammerman. Yes, I always felt like I was the only sensitive introvert out there. Wished that others similar to me would have reached out and said, hey, I feel the same way, but they didn't because, well, introverts :D

In reply to Diane O. The bright side is, the older you get, the less you care what others think and you 'own' who you are :)

In reply to Diane O. Diane, totally. SO many times people would just say you are weird or you are soooo sensitive like it was a horrible thing.

Absolutely. Especially 21. I’m a guitar player and even my wife makes me nervous

And I’ve spent my whole life feeling guilty, ashamed and apologetic for having these traits because of the usual ‘get over it’ reaction from most people.
