THANK YOU. I have learned that I am an HSP only two months ago and I am 42 years old. I have been struggling my whole life without knowing why. I have developed clinical depression and social anxiety. Currently, no one I know understands my struggle. I hope that some day everyone will understand people who are HSP. Unfortunately, I'm unable to watch the documentary in my country.

I was the little girl, the teen, the young woman, the girlfriend/lover/partner you had, the Mother, the wife, the lover, the friend, the black sheep in my life from the day I was brought into this life ~ outcasted "too sensitive" "wears her heart on her sleeve, " thin-skinned" "feeling everyone's and every animal's pains/love" ~ Yes, I AM a sensitive woman and proud of it!

Elaine Aron's work has helped a lot of people but it's also a convenient way to avoid confronting the reality that many, if not all, HSPs are neurodivergent. In other words, it's not just a personality type, it's literally a difference in nervous system functioning.
But because ableism is so normalized, people would rather say they are HSP than autistic. Being autistic is stigmatized because it means you are disabled (at least in this society). Then another thing that puts people off is the myth that autistic people lack empathy, when in fact many of us are actually hyper-empathic (sound familiar?).
Because of autistic advocacy on social media, right now there are tons of adult HSPs finding out they're actually autistic. I just discovered it in my mid-thirties, but it has brought much more self-acceptance and helps me actually take care of myself better than I did when I was "just HSP." I always recommend HSPs look into it because the stereotypes leave a lot of people out.

Holy shit... this is me. Can sensitivities to pain be part of it. I can have the smallest issue and the pain is so unbearable for certain things that I know deep inside my pain isn't normal because I often wonder how the hell can someone live with pain like this. The empathy is definitely me, I work in the medical field and my coworkers notice it and one nurse told me that what she loves about me is I'm so empathetic but it's almost debilitating because if I see someone in pain I will take care of them and often take a moment in the bathroom to cry for them And being your own worst critic.... I use those exact words when people notice my reaction when I make even just a small mistake at work that no one else might not even notice. One boss recently told me to not be so hard on myself but I feel it came from having a very strict father and you were not allowed to make mistakes. He used to raise and sell exotic birds and it was my brother and my job as elementary school aged kids to feed and water all the birds in different cages and if we accidentally forget or missed feeding or watering a cage he'd say well, if the bird starves tonight so do you and we wouldn't get dinner that night. We always tried our best and never forget or missed them on purpose. I'm 55 now and I still am my own worst critic but I say to myself it's OK you sometimes need a reminder that you're human and we make mistakes sometimes, especially when my boss noticed it. When I find a mistake a coworker did 99% of the time I'll just fix it and never say anything but 5 minutes later that person notices a mistake I did and they call or email you like they get some kind of enjoyment out of finding your mistake and I still won't tell them I found their mistake. I've never really like crowds either but I play guitar and am a karaoke junky but I usually won't go to a bar or lounge unless I'm in a working band or they are doing karaoke. If I'm not on stage I'd rather sit my car. I have all the other traits also. I'm so sensitive I'm tearing up writing this because I feel like I discovered something about myself and it's almost a relief. I always felt the other traits also. This seems so important to understand this about ourselves. I'm having an Oprah - ah ha! Moment......... thank you for this.

This looks really beautiful. I appreciate that this film was made. I know I am a highly sensitive person. Much of my life has been dedicated to managing it. Also would like to add that this trailer is not well made for the HSP person. The images and overlapping words changing so quickly and often is off-putting and absolutely overwhelming. Please consider making this for the people you are talking about. I hope the movie provides more sensitivity :) Thank you ππΈ

I am 70 years old and it was only after I read Susan Cain's book "Quiet" and Dr. Aron's book "The Highly Sensitive Person" that I began to understand -- and have compassion for -- myself and the life choices I'd made. I'm looking forward to watching this video.
