Default Highly Sensitive People

20% of the population is born highly sensitive. We process stimuli differently.

Overwhelming Stimuli
HSPs respond strongly to external stimuli, and become exhausted from taking in and processing these stimuli. They are born with a nervous system that may see, hear, smell or feel more than others. As adults, they may also think, reflect or notice more than others. The processing is largely unconscious or body-conscious. HSPs grow up feeling flawed, especially when loud music, crowds of people, or simply a busy day stresses them. At such times, they need quiet time alone to recover.
Attributes and Characteristics of a Highly Sensitive Person HSP

I know I was born highly sensitive because of my mother's descriptions of my behavior as a baby. Then, add to that years of antibiotics and the result is an extremely sensitive nervous system to the point of having to isolate for several years as an adult.

The Highly Sensitive Person

You can find out if this applies to you at the two above websites. What happens is while growing up, I would suppress my sensitivities thinking I could perform in this world as a normal person. I didn't even fully realize how sensitive I was until I was an adult. As a child I tried to fit in with those around me.

It was very liberating to discover that I am HSP and not abnormal. I will say getting healthier has helped me cope with the high sensitivities more effectively.

So, I post this here in case any of you see yourself as a HSP.

Thats a very interesting read. I suspect a higher than average proportion of people interested in alternative and natural medicines are this personality type, for whom many of the conventional medicines seem do more bad than good.
