HSP

Highly Sensitive People. A highly sensitive person is the most conscientious person you could ever meet. They pick up on everything around them and other people’s feelings that after, they need downtime to decompress, regardless of being an introvert or extrovert. Their emotions are extremely intense. They cry often to release any type of emotions. They can’t control their crying and can overreact because they just feel so much and on a emotional rollercoaster. They tend to be overthinkers, perfectionists and people pleasers. They care about people and things deeply and love nature, pets, animals, beauty and art . They hate criticism, cruelty and conflict so much that they try to avoid it. They don’t understand violence or why people can mean at times. Experiencing those things can make them react emotionally in a negative way or shut down. They felt different or misunderstood growing up. They are used to hearing people say to them that they are too sensitive and need to grow thicker skin. It can be hard for non-HSPs to relate to them because they have deeper emotions and their surroundings can overwhelm them. Therefore, they are often labeled as “weak” or “crybabies”. This can lead an HSP to experience depression, anxiety or feeling alone. Lastly, they just want the world to be a better place and they are constantly searching for meaning in everything in their lives. They want to have a purpose. They think deeply and spiritually and make the greatest friends and leaders.
