The Highly Sensitive Person...

[AzureSkyes69]

I have just begun reading this book,it mirrors me completely.

I have always had trouble hiding my sensitivity and and I am now beginning to understand why I am the way I am..I am so happy I found this book.

 

Has anyone else out there read this and did it help you & how did it help you? who else is a HSP?

 

Thanks

I've read a bit about HSP and I think I definitely have a lot of the elements, particularly with regard to hearing, smell and taste. I become overwhelmed with these very easily. Of course it hasn't been diagnosed and I haven't read the book, but I thought I'd respond anyway.

Thanks applepie for your reply.

 

 

lol ...I just realized my response to your post all rhymed.

Someone suggested this to me on another forum. She sent me a link to a website about it, and I did notice that the description of an HSP touched on a number of idiosyncrasies that I'd always thought were unique to me.

 

Probably most notable was that I tend to be much more deeply and lastingly affected by negative experiences than most people. I found it intriguing.

 

Anyway, for anyone who's interested, here's the website she sent me: link removed

Thanks for the link SquareWheel.

what i captured from that book is that "it's okay, you're not the only one"

 

But i don't see anything profound in that book other than another perspective in explaining conflicts and such.
