10 Strengths of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) 

I would be a penguin and cause, I would like to swim in the water with my adapted waterproof feathers and flippers. #penguins

A dog, to be independent from humans! #dogs

a robin.. coz I wana be a smart beautiful flying being!

A dragon

A crow, so I can finally feed off dead bodies without being suspicious!You...you guys do that too right?

My thought as well, lol. My therapist told me to think more of myself. You are not responsible to pick up every draining person. Be healthy. :)

thats what i was thinking .,.

Lol same

Yup, I can confirm that XD I'm an iman for psychopaths, narcisist and all kind of toxic shit

This hits me so much tho.. tearing up a bit but im gonna hide it lol.

Yesss

Im somehow seen as both..😡🤬

100% agree. I never understand why some people are so numb - like they don’t even notice obvious smells, noises, etc. I would rather be sensitive and aware of what is going on around me.

ikr :

Others think I am emotionless rock, but my sister knows I am very sensitive

Very relatable, though society stamped that out of me in teenager-hood I blame agriculture.

It do be hit hard if the case on males.. "dude why are you crying?" Me : "i dont know" "are you a girl or something?"

@@Nick-tz3ke deyum why do I feel the pain when I'm a female- I feel like It would hurt like a brick ;( Sorry you had to go through that

@@RSIALVR well society makes us look weak when we're crying.. So that's why we're trying so hard to not get emotional.. And for hsp males,, it can be tough to keep their emotion under the radar..

@@Nick-tz3ke it's ok to cry if you're a Male and hell I would just yeet those boys if they saw a Male crying and telling them if they're a girl- And just because you're a Male doesnt mean you cannot cry, it doesn't make you look weak, it makes you look you went something bad and serious. When I saw my brother cry for the first time, I didnt know what to do since I always comfort girls and my brother was older than me. It made me realise boys also cry, and go through tough times like girls do too. So Sometimes, you have to let it out too. It doesnt matter whether you're emotional or stoic, you need to let it out. (Its bad and it's not mentally healthy keeping your feeling inside a bottle and not opening it to someone. You understand right?) Just some encouraging words from a stranger :) And I wanna just throw hands at this kind of society-

Thank you so much. God bless ya

The typical Librans have most of these traits.

Thanks

@@tula__ lmao I’m both libra and HSP

I’m so sorry but I never got to see your message. And if you are referring to me then you have indeed un-bottled my genie. As you have exactly covered most of what makes me tick.

hell yes

Hugs 🙋‍♀️

Love you all❤❤❤

Little Nightmare youre so sweet :’)

@@cherierose356 aww thanks you too!❤

Yes lol.

Unicorn Pizza I was like, no shit lmao

2. You're a person

Unicorn Pizza 3. You can breathe

Unicorn Pizza I was like “yeah no shit, Sherlock”😂

Dammmm sure

Really true

Yeah I feel that 😞

Yes it's true😞

Right 😅

I'd love to date another HSP, we'd have an understanding.

Videos like this don't really help either. The video had trouble trying to convince us that some of these traits were positive. It didn't even explain what "sensitive" actually means, just tied it in with empathy and mediation (so it was double counted). And ultimately, these are more feminine traits. Not too say men don't/shouldn't have them, we should, but they do not complement us in the same way. They do not fulfill us the same way it would for women. We can have feminine traits but they need to be expressed in a masculine way. I think I'm an HSP as a man. But it has become a strength for me. I learned to deal with stress in healthy ways early on. I can confront others without offending them, take the lead so that others don't cause more problems. I'd say boundaries are the most important. They're good to prevent yourself from being over influenced by the empathy you feel, to prevent people from manipulating you, or taking advantage of your kindness. It took some time though. I've been described as both an a-hole and a kind, good friend by the same people. Lol.

Same man...

@@DoubleOhSilver those traits are neither feminine nor masculine - they are human. It's the patriarchal society that "tells" us that those traits are "more feminine". But bro, I see, there ist no fast escape but to explain this situation 😒

On the contrary, I find it easy to connect with other blokes who also have HSP, HSPs have a tendency to know who are similar of mind, so you end up talking to them more, rather than those who are not. I guess if there are no other HSP guys around, then yeah, it could be quite a lonely experience.

Me, a literal emotionless rock living life on auto-pilot:

😅 totally can relate

Sameeee! I’m a night owl😝✌🏼

I am half-asleep most days too (almost everyday haha) but on the other hand: often I do feel the urge to do something great; I just cant get my ass up :D

@@FreakEmmy you just described my whole being

You spelled Psych2Go wrong but it's fine, won't judge, just happy for you. ^^

@@itsdavidgaming3574 hahahahahahahah yes you are right I didn't notice it hahahaha psycho? Noo hahahaha And thank you David!?😀🤗😊 you are so nice

@@Psych2go number 9 doesn't apply to those that are born in small cities with no other children their own age and grew up indoors (Like i was)

man said psycho2go🥴

I'm not good with criticism either, it feels like my world is slowly crumbling for some reason when I am criticized. But I've been trying to work on myself based on the constructive criticism from my supervisor and couple of my close friends, and when they give me recognition that I am improving I feel extremely proud of myself. That is the double edged sword of being hypersensitive, when things go wrong you can end up experiencing harsh pain and anxiety, but when things go right it feels like you can take on the world.

I deal with the same thing!

Lynx Star & David Chon you both brought up great points I can relate to. Arguments, disagreements, criticism, debating...it all feels so personal and destructive to my aura. Comment sections aren’t usually a sanctuary for me but I am enjoying reading everyone’s reflection and how we all relate.

Yeah

Oof I take criticism so personally but I hate giving out criticism unless I'm annoyed as I don't want to offend anyone

I take social media breaks for this reason

Same here, I’ve learned to stop clicking on negative content because it legit just depresses me for the rest of the day. If I watch something like TwoSetViolin’s skits or Dan Povenmire, I’m much happier lol

And I like comedies like the Goldbergs, honestly Adam is so relatable in that show

@@DoofenSpyroDragon16 Love the Goldbergs! And miss The Middle. I can so relate to Brick

I-

Yep 😂

I don’t get it •-•

@@helplessfox me too 👀

Exactaly!😭😂

Yes, exactly! Sometimes it's frustating to feel these waves of emotions when people around you couldn't care enough! And sometimes, or most of the time ( in my case ), express less is better than expressing your feelings at all. And it's kinda stressful ngl. 😌

Agree👍

I dont really know if that counts but I usually laugh a lot a that people think I exaggerate and I cry when people are quite mean.

Ayeeee HSP gang 😎 High five ✋🙏

oh my gosh! Thank you! I'm an HSP and that made me feel sooooooo much better about myself!

Thank you for your comment. Very profound, at least for me! Thanks again.

yes so true...

Yes true. I've just encountered something and my whole world view on emotions has changed. All this while I was so caught up, but now I certainly feel more free and controlled as far as my emotions go.

Wow please explain, I want to know more because I feel I am stuck

As an HSP, thanks, you rock too!

🧡🧡🧡

Im hsp thanks for those words and you rock too miss/mister

Hi I’m glad your sister has some one that understands her I’m hsp and it has good sides and bad sides nothing worse when you have some one that’s picks up your trait and takes advantage love your sister ❤️

Beautiful comment, your sister is lucky to have you!! It's difficult to find people that appreciate our depths, since we struggle with it ourselves sometimes..

I hate being called too sensitive and you need to get thick skin

I am just like you. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is like this.

Yah in the long run you have analyze and understand your self. You just need self acceptance.

@@tamika1014 me too, we're not alone!

Whenever you cry just think about jimin... He should make you happy.... Sometime people they are close to our heart Or touched our heart can make us keep going...

That's what makes u strong u vauled those who died it's a gift I would find it extremely hard if I had to do palative care more people should be Kinder to one another in don't get people that are cruel.😳

Ooo noo 😯 how would i be able to become a doctor then ??

Become a self-employed private carer. Nobody can sack you when you cry because you don't have a boss. That's what I am, it's very liberating to choose your own nice clients and show emotion when you fancy. The families love me for that, my crying shows I loved their late mum/grandma too. I'm the MOST caring Carer ever and I'm proud of that x

You re so kind🤗

@@ashokhkumar7350 today, kindness is insanity.

Well, it's even more difficult in quarantine. But I have my hopes up to go out and live my life to the fullest!

I understand. It's hard to do at first but learn to get out of your own head and just be in the moment. Feel your feel your feelings without acting on or reacting to them. At least this has helped me from killing myself. I hope it will work for you.

You, me, and many other HSP. Not sure why such a broad stroke was included in this vid.

Tyso exactly.....

Yes. Depression, burnout, and still feeling everyone's pain.

Asdfshgsjshkahks same

that could also be living life to the fullest though. if you are doing something you enjoy while in your room then thats one way to live life how you want. i usually shut myself away from life most of the time as well and just sit around playing video games because its what i enjoy doing and it doesnt cause me huge amounts of stress. its something i can go back to after the more important things in life are taken care of as well so that i can unwind, relax and enjoy myself. some people will argue that living life to the fullest means getting out there and actually doing things all the time. but for others like myself, its as simple as enjoying the smallest things life has to offer. Having a house to live in, being able to keep up your basic survival needs with consuming food and liquid, and having people to talk to on occasion that you are on very good terms with are the main things i think about every day. and while i might not be as popular or as outgoing as others, i always think of how good i have it compared to others and how carefree life can be in my shoes

Lol same 😂

@@glitchmeister1177 I do it more as a defense mechanism. I feel safer if I'm alone in my room. Anytime I go anywhere else in the house and my family is home, I just get my PTSD triggered. So I sit in my room and either sleep or escape mentally by watching stuff online.

@@glitchmeister1177 but i don't want to do this. I'm just not allowed to go out

I grew up the same way... tho i was taken from my bionarcissists(ya BOTH bio parents are/were narcissists lovely eh?) & raised by bio fathers younger sister & her husband..1st year of my life frankly im lucky i made it that year! At 6 my drunken fall down f in the ass bio father told me who i really was & LET THE GASLIGHTING BEGIN! NO1 gave me answers for shit, few years later the Dad(uncle) that raised me started beating the snot out of me.. it got witnessed by outsiders & teported i was made the 1 in the wrong. So my 9 yr old self realized there was no help, no1 gave a flyin shit. My 10 year old self made her 1st suicide attempt. My bio parents tried killing me, ive tried, exhusband tried, ive been shot, stabbed, 3 serious car accidents..i was always a passenger, & diagnosed with cancer.. Ive jad 3 families..my bio family, adopted family & had 3 sons of my own & each one was destroyed & taken away from me. IVE LITERALLY been seperated from my own kids for 22 yrs & was 'allowed' nearly 10 together split in 2, 8yrs together & 17 yrs apart & fate alloted me a mere taste for close to 4 yrs of having a small taste of 'normalcy', beforefate stepped in ince again..at the same time I received my cancer diagnosis. Repeatedly being told 'life is what u make it' when every step u make to move ur way 8nto a life that u only get to watch everyone around u have. I only knew 2 emotions.. anger & EMPATHY.. sympathy & empathy are NOT the same.. I DONT have sympathy.. couldnt give a flying shit, I DO however have EMPATHY ONLY for those that are worthy of my emparhy..children, creatures, vulnerable people that didnt bring their vulnerability onto themselves. I DO NOT cry unless Im alone, i was never able to show weakness because then Id be preyed on or somebodys punching bag, I didnt have a startle response up until about 8 months ago... to acheive that I moved myself into the middle of nowhere, kept to myself for 12 yrs had very limited contact with anything, everything & everyone aside from my 2 cats & 2 dogs. Had 1 of my buddies(i dont actually have human friends my cat & dog are my friends because theyre everything humans provwn me that humans cant be..loyal)catch me off guard..i jumped about 3 ft high & he nearly got K.Oed! Im not liking the startle response crap of all things daye could return to me a startle respinse is definitely not in the top 10 FOR SURE! I am sensitive, almost to a psychic degree, nor being able to show or feel any emotions growung up, not being permitted positive bonding with anyone, neing abused mentally physically emotuonally i never learned how to regulate my emotions... i also dont like being touched or crowded.. 'Reactive Attachment Disorder' made me a bery unique mother of 3 young boys. I foyght luke HELL so they wete able to learn it was ok to FEEL, to cry if ur sad, feel secure if ur scared ect ect..& those boys were well behaved well adjusted smart caring pilite boys.. that grew into well adjusted productive members of society. JUST BY THE GOOD GRACES of the only luck U have..longevity.. I figure im either immortal or the freaking antichrist with my ability to escape death as much as i have! I WANT U TO KNOW that I yave a good undrstanding of EXACTLY what u have gone thru, people like us are here for a reason..not sure what it is but its gotta be good humanity changing shit with all the life lessons & pain weve endured.. our exsistances may be lonely & heartbreaking but DONT EVER GIVE UP BEING U.. BECAUSE UR BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL & NEEDED by the rest of us when our calling calls..!

OMG, your story is heartbreaking... but please don't ever think it's too late for you!! If you're breathing, it's not too late to start healing! Now that you know why you are the way you are, you've already taken the first step. There's nothing wrong with you, you are a unique beautiful person created by God!! Please don't give up on yourself! Get help, learn to love yourself as you are, and use your experience to help others who are going through hard things like you did. People need to know that they are not alone. I wish you peace, love, acceptance..❤❤🙏

It's never too late man, you can do this ,I believe in you❤

Your story is so heartbreaking.. I'm an HSP and I am grateful to have grown up in a mostly-healthy household. I'm sorry you had that experience, that is truly and wholeheartedly awful. I am so sorry. Please, please don't give up. Your abuse doesn't define you, and your path doesn't end here. It is not too late for you❤️

Don’t lose hope for healing! It has taken a long time but I have finally found peace and security after a childhood similar to yours. I hope your healing has begun and you find happiness!💕

I second that! Thank you So much for this video!

I'm glad you mentioned depression, anxiety & stress. Yes, Yes, Yes. That's how my brain and body react when overloaded with feelings and thoughts. Now that I understand what is happening I can unplug by being alone and doing something creative like going for a bush-walk , reading fiction , even cooking or cleaning. I am surprised that it is as common as 1 in 5 because I find it quite rarely in other people. Unlike Narcissism that is so common.Now I am going to watch- How to Ignore People- on youtube.

Um thank you...

@Mariyeen Acheege I found out I was adopted, now I no longer feel like a freak cos my bio cuz I found online is exactly like me :))

Yes!!!

I believe this statement is true. I'm struggling with all sorts of stress, anxiety & depression... but I believe I'm an HSP who grew up with a sociopathic mother & sister. I used to love drawing all the time all while my mother would bark at me saying that will never make me any money. I went away for a summer only to come home to bare walls in my bedroom-- my mom tore down & threw all of my art away. My sister used to tell me that it was more enjoyable to wait for my reaction to sad parts in a movie & laugh at me (all while a touching sad scene is happening in the movie) than it was to watch the movie she paid for. After she literally threw my pet hamster against the wall & killed it, she told me I deserved it for tattling on her. Many other contributing factors prevent HSPs from embracing their HSP-ness & instead try their hardest even after realizing this to suppress any and all initial emotional knee-jerk reactions to anything. I've become so numb to many things. I'm not all sunshine & tears like I used to be. I don't think I could ever go back to being anything like that, if I ever was that way to begin with.

I'm the brave one in my friend group but this is where one of my besties is braver than me as they confronted someone who had hurt another one of my friends and I hate confrontation and I'm shy

Sameee you could tell me to go ask someone a simple question or something and I’ll start crying

Me, me, mE

I'm an HSP who grew up in a confrontational household. I get hyped watching others in confrontation but am so used to it that I can't help but attack bullies or anyone messing with my few friends or fam.

It's best when you're (as an HSP) the one to confront. You'll know how to bring things up in a non-aggressive/sensitive way. With time and practice, you'll find yourself being confrontational in a good way, taking the lead so others don't have to start problems.

Mee Hahha I'm that person when I'm with the right people. 😊

@@ariaelle499 Ikr....

true as fock

Oh my, I cry more than the actual person. I do remember recently My best friend's cousin had bone cancer and when she told me my heartbeat went crazy, I started to lose my appetite and in the I was about to faint. Whenever we talked on phone I remember rather than her, my voice starts to crack. I had to make her strong but instead, I start to cry with her. I wonder sometimes why am I this way

minu taetae I’m so sorry for you hope you’re doing okay now...

Yeah me too

Those good feelings when. A pet gets reunited with their human companion. A family who had lost so much, now have a new home bright future. When child shares literally anything with somone in need. I'm still crying even when a beautiful things are happening.

minu taetae oh god I understand that sm😩 the last point from the original comment is literally me. It feels good to see I’m not the only one who does that 🥺💔

I literally started crying after I can't-

Thats true empathy right there. I couldnt do it even if i wanted to

You too? But why? Me too

bruh im tearing up now 🥺

I remember when I cried at one of psych2go videos becouse they animated a crying person

This is why his students are so capable. They were mentored by what may have been the ultimate teacher-one who gave them exactly what they needed and encouraged them to be more than just mutants. He believed in them from the start, and they grew to carry his hope forward because they themselves found reasons to trust in it.

How happy is your self-esteem now?

@@Psych2go how can self esteem be happy?

kaas saus their nich is psychology not English

@@gracehaven5459 haha 🤣

Wait, you guys have self esteem?

I feel you there!! Though I almost never have seen bullying go on, I have noticed that I get really heated and upset when I read/hear about injustices Also hope u r ok :)

@@phoenixthings Yes, i'm fine, but if I hear something that maybe I have, I just start to cry. And if you want to ask how do I know that, well I have Asperger and every time my mom talked about it with someone I started crying.

I was actually bullied in school because of being a HSP (I had no idea at that time what it was). And instead of becoming a mean person, I became an even nicer person. Some think I'm fake but I just feel all these things at such a deep level.

Kíra Tóth i just realized I am and I’m constantly being labeled as complicated or argumentative 🥺

Kíra Tóth ..I would agree. It was so bad for one guy that I went to school with that he has to leave. Terrible...

Yes! And u will do great things as just as great mess u are ...i was u 8 years ago only more i am a gurl so that's adds more drama😓 but now i speak three languages and working on my french i have at least 250 friends and my business starting , currently working with children and educators. It was hard and still is being a hsp but u can beat it by embracing it Fighting 💜💪 (means good luck in Korean😃😉)

Same, but female and I'm younger Why do people hate sensitive guys? That I will never know.

Me too man.

It's very very good!

same👍

Same here. I do think I am an HSP, but I think I've lost most parts of my personality due to depression and trauma. Now I just feel so numb and cold most of the times.

Same same same. I've had to deal with so many emotional vampires that I've become misanthropic and can't bring myself to care about people and their problems anymore. Humanity is exhausting.

I turned off the sympathy switch and can tune people out when I need to. I had to do it out of self-protection.

Me too but i get stronger without them by myself im aware of my self thats why i value it more than anything else dont care about fame or form or money just inner peace and loving my self makes me over those ppl so idc about them seems selfish maybe but i dont hurt ppl

Yes it’s hsp ❤️

It's incredible how wise and brave you are at this age. At your age, I was desperate to be ordinary, not to be different. Now I'm 21 and just started to realize it's okay to be different. It's okay to be an HSP.

I wish I be like you when I'm 15 I might never help people hurt my own feeling and being MDD

@@FattyKung I know how it feels my friend

Ur so wise at such young age ❤ I’m 27 and just starting to fully realize I am a HSP…all those past times when I tried to tailor to other people and felt so tired….

Comments like "they're just trees", "it's just a game", "you know that film character isn't real, right", "why are you so happy" might hurt even more than "stop being a crybaby". But being passionate is the start of so many great things and feelings, it's a pity some people look down on it.

@@annafaelens true... They made me feel wrong, like I had to stop being so enthusiastic for little things. But now I love being passionate, and I love passionate people

Anna Faelens god I relate to that so hard.

No, not just you. I felt like that too and i feel so pressured. After that day i never answered again

omg yes! 🥺🥺

I have that much anxiety that i wont even ask to go to the bathroom

I also have that problem back when I was in school.

I say this all the time 😃

Aww, this is beautiful, thank you. Are you an HSP too?

*t h a n k y o u*

Leah - · - yup

I needed this today. Thank you :’)

You know you're an HSP when that makes you cry

Oh dear

Can relate. I used to be like that alot and it turned into an addiction, a co-dependancy situation of me and another person. It's a good trait to "be the change you want to see in the world" like if you have faced many hardships and being alone and friendless, being a person that gives struggling people an ear to vent to once in a while or give them some advice that you wish someone else had told you when you were younger... But don't let it become your entire life. You are worthy to better your own life, if you give all your time to try to fix someone elses life you will 1: Put your own life on hold and never get better. 2: make the other person lazy so they don't want to try to fix their own life. But also don't just lend out your ear and sympathy to just anyone, that's how you attract leeches. People have to prove to you first they are a good decent person too so the friendship is beneficial for the both of you. It shouldn't be one sided. These days I'm way more choosy of what people I give my time to. I will wait a long time before I feel like I can trust someone and call them a friend. People that try to force being my friend super quickly makes me show my iron thorns because my safety is more important than if someone perceives me as a bitch. That exact scenario happened to me just a couple of weeks ago at work and said colleague got super butthurt just because I told them "no". I'm done being a people pleaser. I'm learning to embrace being a bitch without feeling guilty about it. That is my goal.

Aamiin

Well, thx to therapists, I know I'm an HSP, and.. well, I don't have those two traits either lol

Im very similar. However, I think if your doing what you want comfortably and happily, then your living YOUR life the fullest. You dont have to jump out of airplanes to live life to the fullest. Everyones 'Full' is different

Perhaps you haven't developed those two traits now but you still can ! (I didn't say it'll be easy though but you can learn it).

@@plumereveuse5183 or maybe some people are who they are and cant or wont learn certain traits because its not in their nature. I understand you're trying to be helpful and encouraging but why cant we just accept people for who they are

@@zozoplans It's not a question of accepting people for who they are. Of course this is something that we should all do. But I don't think being in tune with oneself and living life to the fullest are things that are innate. However, those are "traits" that are correlated with happiness. When you know what you really want and try to live accordingly, then you're happier. I just made people aware that they can try to learn the traits if they want. Perhaps they will need (professional) help, perhaps not. But I didn't say they were obliged to do it. If they are satisfied with their life as it is, then great ! I'm not saying they should change. Sorry for the potential mistakes, English isn't my first language.

Lol! Yeah by the time the animation was completed, we already grew a bit lol. And since we didn't want to double pay to have the VO redone, we ended up just going with it. Hope you don't mind.

As a hsp I can't ignore this 😂

N00bStArDamuS I too am HSP, but that solely does not mean neither you and I should give up. I think as Highly Sensitive people, we both know that we are beautiful on the inside, and that's what matters! Someday, people will be able to recognize you more and more, and they'll finally understand what it feels like to be mentally gifted. I can totally agree. A lot of people diss me for being a "cry baby" as well. But I know that someday, one of the 7 billion people in our world with understand you with all their heart and they will give you the same treatment back. I know I've found that someone, and I guarantee you will too! Stay safe ❤️

Your kind of unlucky you have only had it for 3 months i have had it my hole life and i have depression because of it im used to having it now but your not used to it so just remember life gets hard but you can push through :)!

I really just wish I could meet another HPS as one myself, so I can feel the warm arms hugging me when everything if the tower collapses. It’s not easy being a HPS but I’m sure one day we will be able to feel the same aura we give off to other yet see the positive end of it.

@@gamingwithdoge2511 I was diagnosed with major depression a few years ago because I was betrayed by my own best friend and my girlfriend passed away because of cancer. It was hard for me to overcome my own depression back then, even until now it was hard for me to talk about it. I suffered for almost 3 years until on 2017, I was able to stabilized myself both physically and mentally by making myself busy with assignments in Polytech. So I understand you and I feel sorry for you. Maybe because of depression and all of that, I am a HSP now. Depression sucks and yes we have to get used to it, and thanks for the pep talk. I wish you will have a wonderful future ahead of you, my friend.

personally i think that if said friends arent showing the exact same sympathy and support that you show them then they might not be as good of friends as you think they are. the people i am friends with are good people because they all have their fair share of problems and we all help each other out through the tough times in life. friends have to be there for each other, understand each other, and fully support all the good decisions you make as well as help to keep you away from bad decisions that they know would only hurt you. take some time to think about how your friendship has changed with these people over the years. sometimes we lose friends or just altogether cease communication with them and thats okay. we dont have to have a big group of friends that we can always talk with. we just need a few friends who know us and actually get us for who we are. i should know because ive been through a couple incidents with past friends that has ended said friendships and its just something that unfortunately happens from time to time, whether it be due to disagreements, unjust actions be they accidental or on purpose, or just losing interest in being friends in general due to multiple reasons. find out who supports you the most and stick with them in your lives. dont worry about others who cant be as supportive or sympathetic

I get happy easily,sad easily and I can’t forgot my past where i was comfortable is this the same case with you? Maybe i am not able to express what i exactly pls reply Plus-- I am so forgiving and I didn’t had any feeling of revenge for someone.

i feel exactly what u feel i dont ket go of the moments in my past that gave me comfort i cry easily too

Wow, i wasnt sure if i was the only😅😅

My internet is down so i cant even watch. I can only see comments 💁🏻‍♀️. The videos just "load."

🧀

I'm so sorry 😞

I'm glad you know you don't have to accept being treated that way. You deserve so much better. I hope you've found a better life.

I'm 65 and was unaware of HSP. It's good to know I'm not alone. I was married to an abusive man for 25 years. Not physical but verbal and emotional. No affection, put down a lot, cheating..etc. He planned leaving me for 10 years without me knowing. He lied to our daughter and his family about me. I have health issues so he planned making it my fault so no one would know what a cruel man he was. My daughter cut me out of her life. It breaks me every day. I have 2 sons as well. I hope and pray you find happiness.

I'm sorry you hurt. I found out in my early 50s I am an HSP. First realization- I am not crazy! So much of being criticized for was my sensitive response to being overwhelmed, and no one around me growing up got that. Second, after living with this knowledge, as much as it is painful, I cut out family members who just continued to use me for their emotional crutch. I stopped enabling them. They can still be saying negative things about me, lie about me, but do I really need that? It's hard to let some family members go, there is a deep grief, of what can not be, but my life is so much calmer, letting myself be me. Pray for you to find peace.

Hi, we all deserve to be treated well. It's a life-long process to find the people that you are REALLY comfortable with. I will be 57 in december. There is hope. Best wishes from A.

Wencee Khyeir Tinapan so true! It happens to me as well.

❤❤❤

What did you take out from this video?

@@Psych2go Lots of, more appreciation & acceptance into this side about myself. So thank you for creating it, and sharing such content's insight. 💜💜

I understand how you feel. I can totally relate to what you said. It must be quite upsetting and infuriating. I am sorry that you are going through that difficult experience. As a sensitive person, I am someone who usually let other people disrespect me, take advantage of me which happened in the past. You are stronger than you think. Don't let anyone tell u otherwise.

That’s me ☹️

Thanks for thinking about us

Thankk youuu

Oh what a lucky man hope you stay togeather ❤️

You're not alone with this. I just cant stop smoking weed in order to fight half of the traits described, as its often too much for me... which leads to an even greater feeling of depression, as I am not living my life to the fullest. Oh well...

I know things are hard but know that you have the power to change that. You have control over who you are and what you do. I know that is both terrifying and liberating as a concept as you have to take responsibility for everything you do, but it's also a gift. You have power and control. You can do anything you want to, it just takes inner strength which you do have, it's just a matter of finding it. Baby steps are still steps. Hope ya'll are doing okay and hope what I said made sense and wasn't attacking or judgemental seeming. I have been there and am there still in part, life is rough but also beautiful. Good luck (: edit: I do not in any which way mean this as a way to blame yourself for when you don't do well or don't achieve what you want. If you don't try you are guaranteed to not succeed, but in trying you will fail-that's just apart of it (aka: you will f up, you will not work as hard as you wanted to, you will have lapses and that's great because it means you are trying, which means you are going forward). Also this stuff is incredibly hard and honestly people around you will probably never understand how hard-but that doesn't matter, it's about you and you got this. I felt this comment may have been a little brutal as it's how I talk to myself (when I am most upbeat lol), hence the edit, I hope it hasn't been a source of negativity for anyone. All the best to everyone, I hope life is kind to you all.

@@ameliafoster-kane7601 Everything you’re saying is so inspiring and a simple truth thank you for the encouragement especially acknowledging baby steps are actions we take proving how liberating it is to have free will and for myself I have become aware that I haven’t been giving myself enough credit but instead formed a mindset of perfectionism that has been so damaging to the essence of my true self. Thank you again for sharing ❤️

@@Latifahh15 Thank you for letting me know that my words made a little sense and were hopefully a little comforting. Happy to hear that you are making progress in how you treat yourself, I am guilty of the same but realising you aren't is half the battle. (Or so my very wise friend once told me.) Good luck on your journey and thank you for answering ☆ (this is the only comment I've ever made on youtube so it's nice to know it was a positive one)

Maybe look into hsps with complex trauma.

Sweet Storm Stay strong my friend, it will get better...believe it. You are not alone as you can see in the comment section. You are loved ❤️

I feel you man, when you say being a sensitive is like a weakness cause I too was bully by friend even though i hang out with them but I never say anything to them cause I wanted to be their friend and I was a very care and kind person and also and HSP like in the video so people around me think I am strange and no want want to be friend with me and I was even bully by many people cause they think I was emotional less because I was quite .

Dj.D men that express their emotions and understand themselves are much sexier than those who don’t. Keep doing you and you’ll find those who accept you for yo

I feel you dude. People always treat me differently, and not in a positive way. Sometimes it's hard, cuz people have a hard time understanding us for who we are. And whoever said that there aren't enough guys like you is right! :)

I actually find that guys need to be more sensitive because that's what they generally lack and to be honest, what I dislike about them.

@@luciewang9790 It seems like sensitive men are more appreciated in countries other than the USA though.

They are professional aided help, providing psychology animated video content online. :)

@@StephanieRZ they in a video said they are not professionals and should not take conclusions with their information, as a disclaimer

i wish i had a therapist to tell why I'm broken and how to unbreak myself :D (this was a joke, or the closest thing i can make to it)

@@literalyfish4370 oof I was getting worried

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KrjvYQs21Vg.html This video is more helpful and accurate (it helped me), but going to the therapist is a great decision!

Meee!!

me and i'm fucking tired of people saying they are because 16personalities told them so lmfao

Me!!!!

Psych2Go Do you think I should be a gift of a Friend?

What are feeling confident about?

@@Psych2go lifeeee

Same I feel confident for like the first time

I've started to feel so confident about myself and my journey nowadays, this video boosted it up x1000!

lilibeth ayala *hugs* Same here :) Some kind of closure was achieved.

Yess, me too I am happy bc now i understand me better haha before i hate myself bc i always Cried a lot, but now i know that it isn't bad being like this 🥺💫

If that's what it means, my therapist was wrong and I'm certainly not a HSP.

I grew up with an extremely abusive mother and father. I was taught at a very young age that "men" aren't supposed to cry. I've been called every name in the book by my parents and siblings and yes, have been told countless times that I'm "too sensitive". I realized very early that if I didn't want to get my nose, arms, legs, face, broken and bloodied or my teeth knocked down my throat, that I had to bury that trait deep down and fight against it with all my will power. So I can tell you, as an HSP, crying isn't always a good indicator that you possess that trait. Your upbringing can have a huge affect on how your HSP trait manifests. I'm in my late 20's now and suffer from EXTREME anxiety, depression, insomnia, and a list of other disorders. Please, if any of you reading this has a child that's an HSP, please please please recognize it as a real thing and please allow it to treat your youngster like the incredibly special person they are. I'm not saying spoil them rotten and follow them around with a silver spoon. But these kind of people do require a bit more understanding, patience, and love than most. If you raise your HSP child right, they can grow into the most beautiful and creative and artistic individual you've ever known. But be warned, if you treat your HSP child like they are just too sensitive and need to be roughed up, misunderstood, and beat in order to become "normal" the only thing you'll accomplish is creating a person who is in constant agony, pain, and depression for their ENTIRE LIFE. You will probably lose that child to suicide or drug overdose later in their life. I honestly don't know how I'm even alive still. Please just be patient with your HSP kids.... You have the power to create a wonderful person OR an extremely dysfunctional and miserable person who's every waking minute is literal torture. It's too late for me. The damage has already been done. But maybe this comment can help some other young HSP have a childhood I would be envious of. A healthy childhood full of love and acceptance and patience. Please allow my broken spirit to become a beacon of light for someone else in their formidable years.

Go read Elaine Aron's book !
