Do you feel everything too deeply? Are you easily drained by small talk or overwhelmed by loud noises? You might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).

In 1996, Dr. Elaine Aron identified a biological trait found in 15-20% of the population: Sensory Processing Sensitivity. Being a Highly Sensitive Person is not a disorder, and it is not a weakness. It means your nervous system is wired to process the world, emotions, and sensory input on a much deeper level.

In this video, we break down the 10 most common signs that you are an HSP. From experiencing emotional contagion and "frisson" (aesthetic chills), to dealing with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and decision fatigue, we explain the neuroscience behind why your brain dives deep instead of just skimming the surface.

If you've ever been told you are "too emotional" or "too sensitive," this video will change how you see yourself. Your depth of care isn't a problem; it's your greatest superpower.
