How to Know if You're A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) 

Which of these traits surprised you the most?

Does anyone else feel more in tune with animals because of their high level of sensitivity?

The biggest mistake that HSP's make is thinking that their high sensitivity is a flaw or defect. You are not a walking basket case. Do you have any idea how strong you are? You've gotta be incredibly strong to have an amplified nervous system and survive in this world. You rock. ♥️

I was raised to be ashamed of being sensitive. Today at 42 years old, I am understanding myself and embracing my traits. Thank you

I always get "You think too deep into things."

Absolutely agree on "having an ability to sense authenticity". I always get a strong gut feeling if a person is "putting on a show". I can't stand fakeness, I detest it.

Avoiding conflict, is just me apologising first even when I'm not wrong.

HSP: 1. Need to take breaks when things feel overwhelming 2. Caffeine 3. Sensitivity of the senses 4. Avoid conflict 5. Hard time coping when sleep deprived 6. Difficulty switching focus 7. Hard time making decisions 8.Taking things personal 9. Hate failing and making mistakes 10. Don't like last minute changes to your plans 11. Need quiet to focus 12. Don't like violence on tv or movies 13. Hard time saying no

I was diagnosed as bipolar in my early 20s, but I'm actually just a highly sensitive person. All of these descriptions apply to me. As far as the violence goes, I was raised on action movies and have no problem with violence, but excessive blood, gore, and suffering I can't take. If it starts going into torture, I'm out. Shows like Game of Thrones or movies like Saw are absolutely no-go. The biggest one for me is I cry a lot. Happy tears, sad tears, being moved to tears, it's a thing, and it can be really embarrassing when I look around and I'm the only one. Then family members tease me over it and the sensitivity to criticism kicks in. Getting over toxic shame and learning self-love has been a pretty good shield against the more difficult aspects of being a HSP.

Things that affect me: 1. Rude or ignorant people 2. People afflicted with stupidness 3. Criticism 4. Confrontation/arguments 5. Physical touch/closeness makes me cringe or shrink, so I've never had a girlfriend. 6. Bright lights 7. I can sense people's negativity/miserableness. 8. I am anxious about using a phone and freak out if someone unknown calls me. And YES ! I DO take things personally and blame myself severely for failures.

this is freaky how accurate this shit is. goddamn my whole life is clear to me now

Omg, this resonates so much with me! I've been told my whole life I'm too sensitive, I care too much, I cry too much, I read people like a book! I feel their feelings when they talk to me. I get so passionate about politics and human rights, I play several instruments and I annoy my husband while I play a piece of classical music and cry because I feel it so deeply... I thought I was crazy!

I love that, "Your Intuition is the place where your heart and mind meet."

Am I the only one, who can drink coffee and go straight to bed with no issue falling asleep?

1. Overstimulation by Caffeine, 2. Sleep deprivation, 3 Conflict avoidance, 4. Difficulty to focus on many things at a time, 5. Getting stuck in indecision, 6. Don't like when plans change suddenly... That's me! So I guess I am a highly sensitive person...

I have every single one of these qualities. I'm sensitive to sounds, smells, tastes, I can't stand being interrupted when I'm talking or doing something, I need a lot of peace and quiet, I struggle with boundaries, I'm emotionally sensitive, violence definitely bothers me, I'm not afraid to go deep, I can work well with others very well and put them in a good mood, though I work very well alone too, florescent lights are the worst, etc. This is spot on. Thank you 😊💜

I will get into conflicts when I feel there is an injustice because I obsess over that. I hate fake people or having to be fake myself. I enjoy being around kids because they have easy emotions and accept my emotions. I am a librarian at schools. But I run for smoke breaks even if I dont need or enjoy it. I have zero control over it and I'm now realizing what this is.

I recently discovered this about myself. I read the book, and it was absolutely about me. I have always thought that there was something wrong with me. Thank goodness I learned about this trait at the ripe old age of 53..... Better late than never=)

The best part is that we 'are not flawed'!! I always thought this was a 'bad' thing in my personality.

Damn I totally help when someone is feeling left out by bringing them in.

I was in the library studying with my friends and after the 4th or 5th time that I moved seats and tables my friend burst out laughing asking why I always do this. I said that I can't study with the certain combinations of lighting and noise, facing too many people, or seeing too many people walk by. I always thought everyone was like that. I always tried to figure out why I really really struggled to work in public places even when it is quite, but too many people are moving around near me or the lighting is off or something else. It's weird how small things like this start to make sense.

I HATE conflict! I can't deal with. It's one of the biggest struggles I have as a leader.

I started crying today. The other day my teacher said "Well because you're not paying attention" because I simply didn't understand something. Today, my mother told me to get something from my brother's room, and I knocked because the door was locked. She yelled "What are you doing? This is what Mr.Holiday was talking about! You don't listen!" So I started crying. She called me sensitive and tried to hug me, I didn't want to be near her. But being a child I "had" to go to her. It's been about 20 minutes and I'm still upset.

Listening to this video. Just brought flashbacks of memory all the way from childhood. Like it hit me like I was always this person, the signs were always there and it only after 30 years did my family start to pick on it. I remember going to this movie with my mom and it affected me so much like I was crying and it affected me like I started thinking about why life was cruel and all that stuff. And she couldn't understand it. It's good to know that I am not crazy and that the reason for me feeling a certain way was not just me.

I can’t believe it! Everyone of those descriptions was me. I almost cried when you went through the list the characteristics of a sensitive person. You hit the nail on the head describing me. I was thinking when you almost got to the end and you hadn’t mentioned “ hating injustice “ that was going to be the one you missed, then you described what that would be like for a sensitive person . I am a Christian and it hurts me so much how my church treat gay people, or anyone that had a bad past. I find myself standing up for these people, but feel that I mostly stand alone because the few that feels like e I do are afraid to say anything. The sensitivity to coffee was right on point as Well. Caring, work better alone,the noise level, love working with others, but work better alone. I thought that there was something wrong with me and wondered why God made me this way. I saw it as a course not a blessing because others would criticize me for being too sensitive. Thank you so much! I want to watch it again! Lol

1. I hate the light, I love dark. 2. I hate criticism. 3. Whenever somebody is sad I want to cry for them. 4. I rarely get any sleep. 5. I cannot take pain very well. 6. Certain scents make me sad. 7. I am very sensitive to fluffy fabrics, they send chills down my spine just thinking about it.

Thanks for this video, you've described me to a T. I've been ridiculed for being 'too sensitive' my whole life. I can't drink caffeine without bouncing off the walls and then sinking into depression afterwards. I try to avoid it completely. I tend to take everything personally...reading far too deep into things people do and say. Loud noises, bright lights, extreme heat/cold, heavy scents are all hard for me and if clothing is not soft, I don't wear it. Any clothing that feels confining makes me irritable....tight clothing, turtlenecks, tight sleeves, belts etc. The minute I get home from work, off come the fitted clothes and on go the soft, comfortable lounging clothes. Conflict is the worst for me so I hide away from it. This has cost me relationships. I even find that if I'm watching a movie where everyone is fighting, I have to turn it off as it will sink me into sadness and agitation. As for sleep, I need a full night or I get scatterbrained and depressed. If my train of thought is interrupted, I'll snap back and be agitated for a while. Loud crunching, rattling of shopping bags, fireworks, loud noises in general, jar me and agitate me. It's all these reactions that have had me judged as 'difficult' by family and friends my entire life. I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression but I don't understand this as my symptoms usually follow one of the triggers I've mentioned above. Neither the depression or anxiety lasts long, they're more 'reactions' than anything else. On a positive side, my intuition is off the charts amazing. I get feelings about people and situations long before other people I know. Sometimes this is very overwhelming too though. My latest 'brick wall' that is causing me to freeze rather than proceed is a project where I have to finish and paint some baseboards in my house left incomplete by a contractor. These baseboards have been staring at me for months, supplies ready to go, but the minute I look at the job I feel overwhelmed, then make some excuse that I'll do it later rather than finish it up. These baseboards have become a taunting antagonist in my life lol.... It's ridiculous. :)

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.....!!!! I am blown away! I have been apologizing for being "so sensitive" since I was a kid, and I'm 46 now! Thank you for this! You validated me and empowered me!🌈🍀🌻🌟💚💜

So glad i found this. Ya’ll my family because for a long time i wondered why i cry easily. Its hard when people around you cant understand you and kind of make you feel like something is wrong for crying easily. Love you all 🥰

I really loved hearing the positives. Being highly sensitive is sometimes something I've strongly disliked about myself. I never thought of it as a good thing and will be referring to this in the future ❤️

I absolutely hate conflict. It makes me feel restricted, like im choking on air or on guilt or just bad feelings in general.

My Guidance Counselor from high school informed me how she thought I was an HSP, and told me to take the Myers Briggs test and I got INFP. I just felt so understood and it has really helped my anxiety having coping skills when things get overwhelming that worked for me. (like taking breaks, walking in nature, mindfulness, music, reading, taking time for myself to recharge, journaling, art expression.) I am eternally grateful for her wisdom and insight of getting to have a better understanding of myself at such a young age. I am a teenager and I'm thinking of becoming a therapist to help so many others.

I could be the poster child for this mindset! I find myself being misunderstood on a daily basis. or being judged for my sensitivity.

There is nothing wrong with being a highly sensitive person. One thing though that is important is that the person dating a highly sensitive person needs to know that so they can be more gentle with criticism.

I got out of my car in the WalMart parking lot to break up a fight between two women over a parking spot. I begged them to stop and said something like "Please, can we have just a little peace in this world!! Times are hard enough!" It helped the situation, but I realized later I could have gotten hurt or killed!!!

This hit the nail right on the head. I often feel very overwhelmed and put so much pressure on myself to be perfect, always aware what people might be thinking, and often want to cry at work and have to take a few mins. I always feel daft! This is Brill

Thank you. This is so informative and love that it includes also super powers. So important to recognize sensitive people run a risk of being taken for granted or even worse, being taken advantage of by some one. Happy New Year💕

I have a hard time with conflict.

“You’re too nice” is what I heard for 30 years. This boils down who I am perfectly. Most of these I’ve identified on my own, but goodness, what a struggle. I sent this to my family and told them that; “This is why I disappear into my bedroom on occasion.” I’m 60 and hope that all like “us,” including the younger folks, hear this message... You’re just fine as you are. Also, lighting and onions hit me like a hammer! Love your “sessions.”

Every single point you’ve made described me perfectly. Unbelievable. I struggle with seeing this personality as a positive but will try to view it this way in the future. Thank you Kristina for taking the time to make this video to help others.

I am feeling the effect of watching this as deeply righting me as a human being who beats to a different drum. I am unique and this is refreshing and recalibrating. Thank you.

About conflicts, sleep, decisions, perfeccionism/failure, much to do, change, disappoint? That's me indeed....

I thought I was weak, now I know I have this HSP.

Thank you Julia for so eloquently articulating this subject. Each and every point you hit describes me and my “proclivities” perfectly. For most of my life I’ve felt like an alien amongst the normal people around me, wondering what was wrong with me and at times questioning whether the depths of my experience were “really real”. You are a rockstar and you are doing great things. I’m so grateful to have come across this information. Thank you again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I needed this so badly. The walls of shame that I built were really holding me back. I needed to hear there is hope, and strengths that come with sensitivity.

This was AWESOME!!! You've described so many of my characteristics and I've been ashamed and embarrassed about them. Thank you!

I'm definitely a HSP. Especially emotionally.I am extremely aware of my surroundings and am extremely self-aware of my thoughts and feelings. And really, to the point where it has its debilitating moments. It makes it somewhat difficult to remain emotionally stable because I have (had) a tendency to drown out the noise with things like weed, alcohol or other depressant distractions which always have cons in some way or another. I love caffeine but it gets harder and harder to stomach the older I get as its anxious effects are beginning to outweigh its pros. I'm extremely sensitive to drugs (prescription or otherwise). It even used to confuse me as a child why people didn't notice or were not as aware of certain things as I was. I also have this insane drive to face things that bother me - which as an HSP leads for an interesting life. For instance, I hate conflict...but I must know how I will handle it if it arises (i.e. what am I made of?) so I put myself in conflict (not seek it) to get better at it. Truth is I only get better at it in practice, not because it "feels" any better. I'm easily anxious about anything and everything but I insist on pushing through those feelings by challenging myself to pretty uncomfortable levels (sailing a boat alone/in a storm, traveling the world by myself, having a job to give presentations to hundreds of people at a time on complex topics, skydiving, talking to a girl out of my league, performing music, riding a motorbike through Vietnam haha). These aren't impulsive actions but anxiously crafted events if not obligations. My therapist is confused by it, and frankly, I am sometimes as well because it leads to some extremely tough days. But the pros have always outweighed the cons, even at the cons worst- because as being an HSP my "life highs" can be extremely rewarding, maybe moreso than most, despite the uphill struggle. And it's the struggle that makes the highs so special. I appreciate relationships more, I empathize more, simple things mean more to me, and when I win at something I feel extremely accomplished not just because I won, but because I can feel all the steps it took to get there. And as I cope with my HSP qualities and recognize what makes me happy and what doesn't, I find that depression (which used to be a common part of my life) is rare. Self-care is of the upmost importance to a person like me (or us), I believe. Anyways, I'm not sure why I'm writing this, I thought this video was interesting and made me reflect. Maybe someone can relate. Thanks for posting it!

Omg FINALLY a description of me and how I feel every day of my life!!! I have spent my life believing I'm totally insane, weird, flaky, dramatic and unable to cope in the way others can. This all makes so much sense. This PERFECTLY describes me!!!!!

Just found your channel, after 40+ years of therapy FINALLY it’s making sense, THANK YOU SO MUCH, WOW

I am HSP. That was a fantastic video. I identify with about 95%. Personal trauma and insecurity keep me from the other 4%. 1% for the food - I am so over sensitive that I can only tolerate bland food. I love your videos!! So very thoughtful and in depth. I think if I ever date again, I will link to this video so my potential boyfriend can know more about me; give him the chance to run away fast! Unfortunately some narcissists eat us for lunch because of our poor boundary skills. Again, excellent video!

Thank you for this video Julia! Sometimes I feel like I can't function in this modern world of ours, so many things wear me down and keep me in a near-panicky state almost all the time. I have read Elaine Aaron's books but still find it difficult to feel that being a HSP is a superpower. I can't tolerate caffeine at all, and I can take ages choosing the right cookies or any food really at the supermarket, so I tend stick to routine even in foods.

You just hit home ! Wow I am amazed by writing this things and being like... so there are people who understand ! I wanted to add that an issue with understanding other peoples emotions and intentions is that sometimes you find certain ugly truths and you can't do anything about it but over all I love this video, I am so thankful and hopeful I am not just broken.

Finally, I knew it but diagnoses put me on long term meds for over 20 years. Thank you. Couldn't have gotten back to life without your help.

You are amazing and a blessing! I identified with 90% of the traits! I was always led to believe that I was flawed both in my personal relationships and my work life because I am super sensitive. Thank you for helping me see a different side of this! I’m 65, widowed and retired with a grown family. But....it’s never too late to feel good about ourselves! Thank you for sharing all of this information! I love listening to your videos and I’m in the process of listening to all of them , 💗

OMG, is it me you are describing JULIA darling? I knew all about myself but I didnt know any name for it , and I thought it's just me. What I can add about me as a highly sensitive person is : I cant stand people Gossips, I cant stand peoples intertwine in my business, I cant stand peoples MANIPULATION / CUNNINGNESS, I cant stand INJUSTICE behaviour towards someone else. I cant stand MESSINESS, CROWDED, SMELLY ENVIRONMENT, I love and adore CREATIVE, BEAUTIFUL,HELPFUL MINDS.

This is incredible. So many of the characteristics I find in myself and it is so good to hear there are people who are simmilar and they are not a nuisance. Thank you Julia.

Every one of these were exactly on target for me. My boundaries are lousy. There's always room for anyone who needs help. I'm a perfectionist in all ways. Amazing explanation of who I am. Thank you.

Oh my God, I was nodding like a bobblehead through ALL of this!!!!!!!!

Omg...yes! I often have many Dr. Appointments. I've found through your advice that I need to space out my appointments. Otherwise, I get extremely overwhelmed and become more anxious. I've learnt so much about myself and how to deal with things easier since I found your channel. 🙏😊💕

There is so much power in finally understanding my inner self. Thank you for this video. I am a very proud HSP! Changing the world through love one day at a time. ❤

*A non-exhaustive list of the things that affect me:* 1. Needing breaks when things are overwhelming (typically crying for a minute in the bathroom, then going back as if everything is normal) 2. Overstimulation of senses. One of the best examples: I have a form of misophonia, I can't stand a very specific sound, it basically hurts my brain when in reality, it's very faint). Also sensitive to the touch of certain materials, one in particular, it's lenticular plastic (very tight ones), which can be found on 3D lenticular cards or sometimes school binders. 3. Can't for the life of me wear turtlenecks, it feels suffocating 4. Avoid conflict (even if it means lying about my true opinion just to avoid any fight) and being very very afraid to disappoint anyone in general. If someone points a small error in my work and then move on (because it was just worth noting), I'm going to obsess over this detail and feel very bad about it for days, weeks. Mixed with anxiety, it's... interesting. Also, if someone is raising their voice at me, i'll start crying 9 out of 10 times. And if i'm getting very angry at someone, i'll start crying too (veeeery undermining) 5. Sleep-deprivation makes me very emotional in general, I tend to cry a lot more over "silly" things 6. I can get very caught up in what I'm doing and often have to ask the person to wait a couple of minutes before shifting my attention to them. Other times, i'm very good at multitasking. 7. I often take things VERY personally 8. I have a hard time dealing with last-minute changes 9. Hate hate hate scary movies (nightmares for days), don't mind violence though (if it's not too graphic) 10. SUPER hard time saying no, even if it means I'll have to work even more to get things done. Also, if a friend is having a hard time, no matter how insanely busy I am, I'll always offer my help 11. If I see someone not feeling well, even if I don't know them very well, I'll go in "mom mode". 12. I'm very drawn to people who experienced a lot of pain in the past (bullying, grief, etc.) and often realize why after we become friends. We often find ourselves having very casual conversations turn very deep in a matter of minutes. 13. I CAN't tell if people are authentic or not. I have a lot of anxiety and am very afraid my friends aren't really my friends, they're just making fun of me or whatever which is a very deep rooted fear, unfounded but it's very difficult to ease my mind about it. 14. Super affected by art in general (paintings, music and writing in particular). Turned me into a writer. 15. I was never afraid to talk deep stuff but accepting my emotions as they are is still pretty new to me (and videos like this help sooo much). Accepting that anger, fear, disappointment or whatever is normal... It's a difficult but necessary step. 16. Very caring, always offering an ear and a shoulder to cry on. It's still pretty difficult for me to set boundaries though.

wow, I am so happy to have found this, I am always complimenting others and take things to heart when they aren't the same, I can 100% relate to all the senses being effected! I never knew it was connected, also I can't read a paragraph without complete silence, so many of them rang true. thank you for this!

This is so me! I thought most of this was just from anxiety or depression. Love your videos, thank you.

This is another great video! This is so me!! I shared this one and a couple others that are really speaking to me right now. Thank you for your light!

i was never really sure about being highly sensitive but after watching your video and agreeing with everything you said i’m considering it even more than before. thank you for sharing this. also love the shade of color in the video, it really helped focussing on what you are saying

Im a hsp person im totally sensitive in small or big things especially when someone scolded me infront of many people or even when im alone..

I have been in a verbally abusive relationship for 13 years and just woke up to this being a real thing. I learned I may be hsp after getting reoccuring asceptic meningitis and multiple hospitalizations. So I researched why, the docs had no answer. Trauma can be from prolonged subtle abuse. Cptsd mirrors much of this. Patricia Evans has great books to help. I believe HSP is deeply linked to abuse. My 2 cents. Thanks for listening.

Thank you Julia, I now have finally the help I need to navigate the world. I now understand what it is to be an empath and be fully proud of it!! Thank you for the tools.

Omgosh!!! This is ALL me❤❤❤you have no idea how much this made me feel like I'm not going crazy!

Whoa! Every single thing you spoke about is me to a TEE!!! I can not get over it!

I cannot even tell you how much this is me! It's actually incredible. My husband is the absolute opposite and really doesn't get the intuition bit and lots more besides. I will try and get him to watch it so he understands a little bit more. Thank you Julia you are a wonderful woman ❤

Soooo happy to have just found you!! I just discovered you on Coast To Coast and I’m amazed at how on point you are about everything. I’m elated that you get it about everything. Thank you for your knowledge and insight. ♥️💫👁

Fantastic content. Reasonated so highly with me. I love that you included the positives. So many videos focus upon the 'challenges' of highly sensitive people so much that I was getting really depressed. It is good to know understand and be aware of those aspects but equally important to understand the positives. Thank you.

Oh my god, these are all my issues!! I would never have described myself as sensitive..... 😟 but this makes a lot of sence to me.... hmmm

I cannot fully put into words how this video made me feel. You described me perfectly. Thank you for this Julia!

I am 52, I am guy, and I just cried through the entire video. But then I "closet" cry at most things, movies, music, art, Tide commercials. I cried because I was overwhelmed. I didn't know this was a thing. I have spent my life suppressing, and fighting, but mostly trying to ignore this ultra awareness and the overwhelming, deep physical and emotional response to EVERYTHING. You just described the majority of my internal and external battles with such precision and I am completely overwhelmed. I thought it was just me. I thought these were my flaws that make me unbearable at times. Wow, Thank you, Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this Julia - I've been made to feel inferior all my life for being "too" sensitive..... it was so wonderful to have it explained so clearly....

i really take really everything personally and i find it hard to end text messages.

Deciding WHAT to eat... Youve hit the nail on the head with every statement dear... Thanks for giving us a way to try and explain it to others...

I knew I was a HSP before this video. I don't know about the Tide commercials, during the Olympics, but last year there was an insurance commercial, I think, I'm not even sure what was being advertised, but it played a song about coming home, and the brother/son was coming back home for the holidays. I cried every time it started to play. You actually had me crying, talking about the strengths. My partner always told me my biggest blessing is also my worst nightmare, my heart, because I stay vulnerable for people to take advantage.

I wonder what careers most highly sensitive people go into? And which ones they are best suited for.

Thank you so much for doing this video. So appreciate your knowledge. This is me on every level. I'm working on those boundaries. You have a beautiful heart.

Loved this! My gut instinct, music and scary movies really resonated with me and the bs-o-meter! Thanks Julia best 25 mins I've spent watching a video in a long time :) Feeling like I can own who I am a bit more!

Oh. My. God. This is the video i needed. social anxiety is such a blanket. This is the pinpoint ive been looking for. this is the root. thank you!!

the thing that I find the hardest is that I can feel other peoples emotions so much that if they're hurting then it hurts me too and I want to desperately help them and when I can't it just feels overwhelming

I remember being around 4 or 5 yrs old and hating all the lights at the mall. I prefer natural light. A few years ago I discovered I was raised by 2 narcissist. While researching I discovered HSP and I felt such relief! All the things that I was mocked for actually had a word...highly sensitive person! I made these discoveries at 53 yrs old. I went no contact with family and am working on not carrying others emotions.

This is so spot on and good. It can help others understand a Hsp person.

I can’t drink caffeine after 10 am! Thank you for validating that our sensitivity isn’t a bad thing. We make the best teachers. I cry at the commercials!

Thanks Julia..I so needed to hear this message today. I appreciate you. God is good💕 Xx Tamra

I enjoy your videos and I am most ...if not all that you described as a super highly sensitive person and you have encouraged me to continue trying to accept it all of how i am....i plan on listening to all you videos. I recently saw one and it helped but can remember....but i remember you being on point. I'm so excited i found you. Thank you Julia

Best video ever!!! I have a majority of the traits described most I’ve long accepted but could never really understand. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Wow, you hit the nail on the head with so many but especially the violence. I’m amazed... and now more curious than ever. Thank you Julia.

Everything matched! Like everything! Especially Music! It can change me in the fraction of a second

I am like really sensitive. Everytime I run my eyes get watery. Everytime someone says the littelest thing I just want to cry out loud. Whenever I'm fighting with ym sister I feel like someone just punched me in the heart. My heart starts tingling and i start shaking and laughing like a creepy person and I just cry a lot. I mean I'm in fifth grade I need to stop. It makes me feel better sharing it.

Yes, yes, thank you Julia. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This was extremely heartfelt! You’re awesome and your voice is very comforting ty soo much ! I deeply resonate with everything you said

Oh my, you just described me to perfection! Yes, I hate conflict but do stand up for righteousness!

I related to everything here. I have an intensely hard time choosing perfume (I love it, it's a hobby). I love a wide variety of things (but spray less than most people) and like to keep variety around. I really love and appreciate tons of them and I'm super indecisive of what I'll wear each day

That was me on 90% of those characteristics. Especially the bs meter. Thanks for the video, it helps to know that others deal with this too. I don't really know many people that relate to this and it leaves me feeling isolated much if the time

What surprised me the most is that Julia described ME 😳!!! Lol. I seriously laughed through the whole video. All points are me except that I don’t always follow my instincts because I was taught not to trust myself. I’m so thankful that Julia understands me, and that I am not a freak or even overly sensitive but can see this as a super power. Thank you for balancing this info with pros afterwards! I’ve needed boundaries my whole life. Wish I’d known this since my teen years as it would have helped me accept myself, as well as being able to navigate through life in a healthy way. 🦋

I’ve been told that I am a very sensitive person. After watching this video, I have to agree! Almost every characteristic you mentioned, I can relate to. Thanks Julia for helping me to understand myself better. It’s nice to know I shouldn’t feel ashamed of this. I love your videos!♥️ -Christina Senter
