~Attributes and Characteristics of Being Highly Sensitive~
Emotionally, Highly Sensitive People (HSP) are mainly seen as shy,
introverted and socially inhibited (or can be socially extroverted).
They are often acutely aware of other's emotions.
Sensitive people learn early in life to mask their wonderful attributes
of sensitivity, intuition and creativity.
Physically, HSPs may have low tolerance to noise,
glaring lights, strong odors, clutter and/or chaos.
They tend to have more body awareness of themselves and
know instinctually when the environment they are
in is not working for them.
Socially, introverted HSP may feel like misfits.
They actually enjoy their own company and are totally
comfortable being alone. Both introverted and socially
extroverted HSP often find they need time alone to recover after social interactions.Psychologically, HSPs compensate for
their sensitivity by either protecting themselves
by being alone too much, or, by trying to be 'normal' or
sociable which then over-stimulates them into stress.
Work and career is particularly challenging for HSPs.
They are often overlooked for promotions even though they
are usually the most conscientious employees.
They are excellent project oriented employees because
they are responsible and thorough in their work.
Relationships can be difficult.
In relationships they may be confronted with
their unresolved personal issues. They can however,
offer their partner the gifts of their intuitive insights.
Culturally, HSPs do not fit the tough, stoic and
outgoing ideals of modern society and what is portrayed
in the entertainment media.Childhood wounds have a more
devastating effect on HSPs. It is important for
them to heal their past hurts because they cannot just
forget them and go on in denial.
Spiritually, sensitive people have a greater capacity
for inner searching. This is one of their greatest blessings.
Nutritionally, HSPs may need more simplicity in their diet.
They may be vitally aware of the effects of food
on the health of their body and their emotional stability.
