Too sensitive? Too emotional? Emotionally reactive? Are those words others have used to describe you or words you have used to describe yourself? We may often feel like we are too sensitive or too emotional for this world, or perhaps find ourselves comparing ourselves to other people who may seem more rational in how they operate and navigate the world. The truth is that we are all emotional beings with a wide range of emotions, and we can struggle in varying degrees with how we let them take over us or how we outwardly display them to the world; and in a society that can shame us for having strong emotions. But let's dive into what a highly sensitive person is, why highly sensitive people are the way they are, and how to work on emotional regulation. We can also see how empathy and deep understanding can be helpful in our life and relationships. And instead of asking yourself if you're too emotional or too sensitive or how to be less emotional or sensitive, let's just phrase it as we are highly sensitive people (or HSP as some call it) so we don't attach such negative language to it.

I'm definitely an HSP, but also avoidant. Life is so difficult because any negative energy coming towards me is like being hit by a truck.

It is especially difficult to be an HSP in an insensitive world 💔🌪

When my daughter started throwing up every morning before going to "mothers day out" program (3 days/ week at our church), we started realizing something wasn't right. We had her tested for autism and the psychiatrist told us she was part of a 2% population that had Asperger's and sensory processing disorder (with a couple of other things). Reading Elaine Aron's book Highly Sensitive Child opened up an entirely different world for us! She was our first child, and we were tired of having to explain her sensitivities and shyness to everyone all the time. We were able to enroll her in a small preschool that helped her handle the feelings of being overwhelmed, and she's now going to college in a different state! It's been a difficult journey, including many sacrifices, but every single one of them has been worth it in the end. She's highly intelligent and received a full tuition scholarship, and wants to become a family, marriage and child therapist!

Life is hell But somehow you go on. Day after day. But I think you get points for not doing yourself in. You’re not alone!

This is me. The slightest comment or look can set me reeling with hurt and overreaction that takes several hours to overcome. If I comment on something online, I can't let myself read any replies because if they're critical, mocking or even slightly negative, it's like getting hit by an emotional bus. I've been like this all my life. I'm most comfortable alone with my cat. I feel like I was born without the armour everyone else has. I'm just completely overwhelmed by other people. They have enormous power over me so I tend to isolate.

I was told this my entire career in hospitality at the front desk. I would get really sad and upset when guests would insult me and scream at me. My supervisors would always say I need to toughen up and take it less personally. I ultimately had to leave the industry because I was making myself sick. It feels validating to hear you speak about this!!

Please do a video on the similarities and differences between HSP and ASD! I know a lot of people who thought they were just HSP but were also Autistic

I live in the UK and am dual diagnosed with autism and ADHD-I and this is ME. I don't know what the result of my watching this video will be, but I am glad I watched it and have added it to a new Come Back To playlist so I can return to it. I want to share this with my family but I don't know how I'd encourage them to watch it because while they work hard 5 days a week and are tired from it and can find me exhausting at times, whereas I volunteer at a charity shop when I choose and socialise when I choose to so for them it looks like I have it easy and I do have it easier but that's only because in order to get out of bed every day and do anything at all I'm having to navigate an internal battle that they don't see and cannot truly relate to no matter how much I try to explain it. Thank you so much for making this 🙏🏻

I'm a highly sensitive person, but I'm not sure if it's related to my autism diagnosis. For me, one benefit of being highly sensitive is that I can really emote when I sing or play a character onstage. It has also helped me to connect with other people sometimes. Even if I feel disregulated, my husband understands and helps me through it.

I avoid bright artificial lighting but sunlight I enjoy. I was shocked at how much I identify with this list!

I can relate to many of these points, especially feeling constantly overwhelmed, preferring dim lighting, and naturally, always feeling misunderstood. I've also been called highly sensitive as well.

That’s just being autistic or adhd or bpd.. I know so many people who were told they’re hsp because their therapist or psychiatrist didn’t want to give them “the scary autism/adhd/bpd” diagnosis. Or because they felt unqualified to give the diagnosis but didn’t want to admit it and write a referral to someone else. I myself was told that, luckily I already knew I was autistic and just went to get a second opinion. and my sister who is adhd with bpd was also told she’s “just hsp”. Luckily I was able to convince her to get a second opinion and the help she needed. All this “hsp” label does is keep people from receiving the help they need.

Back in Sept 2018, I was 44 yo and I lost it! I confronted my parents about the horrible things they used to say to me. I was adopted by them. They knew my 16 yo bio mom, and they hated her. As I grew up they kept saying, "Don't be like your mother!" I felt confused and unloved because... wasn't she supposed to be my mother? Wasn't he supposed to be my father? All Dad said was, "You were always too sensitive. Stop having a pity party."

It is very, very,VERY common for people, especially AFAB people, to identify as HSP at first only to move on and discover that they are in fact autistic (often in combination with ADHD). If you identify with HSP, do yourself a favour and look into autistic masking and the hidden autism profile, sometimes referred to as the female profile or high-masking/camouflaging profile. And yes, autistic people can be, and often are, highly empathetic, so having empathy does not mutually exclude autism.

This information should be shared far and wide. I've seen this run in families and become severe psychiatric disorders when they're traumatized in early childhood. It gets passed down until someone starts getting help and breaking cycles. When we grow up in nurturing environments we thrive in our natural talents and learn how to adapt our environments to suit us better. I believe it's very important to help this population of people shift from forms of intergenerational trauma to using our talents in service to others while following our bliss. ☺

I realized I’m an HSP after becoming a mother. Being a highly sensitive parent can be very challenging. I have had to start a regular breathwork practice to regulate my nervous system through my little ones big feelings and tantrums. It’s helped her to see me heal and we are learning to co-regulate together

Throughout my years growing up and just all throughout my life in general, I’ve had people tell me that I am “Too Sensitive” mainly as it pertains to the tone people would use as they speak to me or certain jokes that people would make about others, be it me or someone else. I have always known that I tend to thrive in settings on my own since my days in school and quite frankly, I tend feel a sense of relief when I have my own space especially after a long day mingling with others. I will admit that I am sometimes embarrassed to mention this, but I would be quicker to cry when I younger, but nowadays I have a hard time getting myself to cry. I think I may possibly meet the criteria for a HSP, although I’m not completely sure.

I feel like this video was made just for me. I actually started laughing and stupidly almost felt ashamed at how much I relate to literally every single sign. My horoscope sign is Cancer and people tell me things like “You’re such a Cancer!!”,but I’m just a hsp and that’s okay! I’ve been rejected from jobs due to being to sensitive and hard on myself. They preferred someone with more confidence and that killed me! Is it so bad that I care as much as I do?! This is a video I’ll definitely replay more than once. Thank you Kati. We’re strangers but I feel like you know exactly how to help me. I appreciate you so much. You make such a huge difference in my life.
