If you’re like me, growing up you might have felt that your sensitivity was something to hide, fix, or get over somehow.
Discovering I have the personality trait of high sensitivity was a HUGE relief to me!
There is nothing wrong with me.
There is nothing I need to hide.
There is nothing I need to overcome.
I don’t have to feel guilty if I’m feeling overstimulated and need to rest.
I’m not unintelligent or inarticulate because I need a little extra time to process conversations that I participate in.
I’m not an antisocial weirdo because I’d rather spend a few minutes alone at business conferences, rather than network my ass off in between speakers. (I’m still a proud weirdo, just not an antisocial one. 🤪)
Maybe most importantly: I know I’m not alone, because 20% of the population is just like me! 🥰
Are you part of the 20%? Let me know if you’re a fellow HSP in the comments! 🔊
