    6 things us sensitive people can relate :
    1) We don’t laugh at people because we understand it could hurt them
    2) Despite how many years ago it was, we still think about someone we may have hurt
    3) When we emotionally hurt someone , we work like hell for forgiveness (don’t let it become people pleasing)
    4) We are very emotionally connected to movie characters.
    5) We have small friendship groups.
    6) We care TOO much about people ❤️

      This is me it's so overwhelming...i can't be in a crowd for too long or hang out with people too much I get easily drained. When I'm maybe in a public transport and there's noise around me I have the ability to completely block it out with my thoughts... Don't know how to explain that but I'm highly sensitive I feel people's pain and hurt. Many don't understand me i also like my win space, love to read, write just being myself and it's okay but most people will think I'm weird ofcourse not that I won't go out but I prefer being alone most of the time to avoid feeling the pain and hurt and the noise around me.

    I’ve known this about myself since I was a child. In fact, my parents took me to a psychologist when I was 5 or 6 years old. I remember him telling my parents that I was just “sensitive”. I’m 63 now and I can say that this trait is a double edged sword. It allows me to help people who are in emotional distress, but it also makes me vulnerable when people want to hurt me.

    I always thought that there was something seriously wrong with me cos i was always the "old lady" amongst my friends. When in my 20s, nightclubs exhausted me, being outside the house for hours and hours took all of my energy, avoided parties, especially kids parties , i was the one always suggesting girls night at home. Now in my 49 years i feel like a burden has been lifted. I told my older sister about this and she said " i always knew that about you, that's why i would count on your opinion about people and situations, it's like you have a sixth sense, you are like that since you were very very small" . Made me feel so warm and happy 😊

    I'm definitely in this category. I have tons of empathy for others and I can pick up lots of subtle clues in people's behaviour, moods and body language that most of my other friends can not. I can't be around people who have zero empathy whatsoever.

    In elementary school I was ridiculed harshly because I wept so easily. No one could possibly understand that I was weeping for the beauty of the sunlight, the scent of the air, the sound of birds. I’m 67 now. It was harsh - but I am very grateful that I can see and smell and feel so deeply. Never could get very close to another human because they can’t quite comprehend. But love those around me and despite having to walk alone….I’d. not havre it any other way.

    I know that you've tried to change yourself at least once, but don't. Just know that you can be inspiration to many people and there is a lot of beautiful sides of highly sensitivity that you are about to discover. Once you start accepting, loving and understanding yourself you will be very happy person. I wish you a long and beautiful life filled with love, peace, people who support you and appreciate you. You are stronger than you think. ❤❤

      God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devil❤
      And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤
      So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
      Familiar spirits are demons
      well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
      And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
      People: okay please stay this is your place❤
      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
      Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
      To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

      Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
      You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
      150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
      God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤
      Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
      Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
      You serve the devil when you

      Hate
      And unforgivness
      And cussing murder and more
      And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
      So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
      God is holy and righteous God is love
      So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
      The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
      You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
      Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
      Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
      God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤

      You're not alone. My Grandmother told me from the time I was young that I had "the gift.." being able to know what people felt and what they needed, to have them leave my life being better off than they were than they came into my life. It was years before I realized what she meant, and it wasn't until I became a nurse that I learned what a HSP was and that I was one.
      There are a fair amount of us in our field, which makes sense that people like us would want to help others, but being a HSP working in healthcare is so very hard. It's important to remember to take time for yourself, it's important to know that how you feel and experience our every day lives as HSPs is completely normal, and most importantly that we are not alone in feeling the way we do.
      Keep doing you, keep being an amazing nurse and know you are not alone! 🤗❤️

      And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
      People: okay please stay this is your place❤
      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
      Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
      To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

    This is ME! I’m an Occupational Therapist, now retired , and have had a successful career for nearly 40 years, and I’ve loved the majority of my patients. I’ve worked in many environments and with many people, all over this Country. But after work I needed to rest or be doing something in my “Zen” which was martial arts, sewing or gardening/ landscaping. I’m painfully shy when by myself; I usually shop when there’s the least amount of people, and, if given the opportunity to walk into a crowded social gathering, I’d never do it alone. I still have issues ordering food from a service line and will opt for sit-down dining whenever possible. Yet with this I’ve done brave acts for others that made a difference in their lives, so when “push comes to shove” I’m willing and able to act. I’ve always been a person that. doesn’t mind being alone. My husband is an extrovert with a wonderful sense of humor and I just tag along for the ride. It makes it easier for me to be more social and interactive 😊

    Growing up my mother was constantly telling people “SHE’s SENSITIVE” in a sarcastic tone. Then I read Daniel Golemsn’s books: Social Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence… it changed my perspective. I now think of myself as having Social and Emotional Intelligence rather than that vague word sensitive. My observations of peoples facial clues and body movements has VALUE. As a nurse that gift has saved the lives and helped me to recognize my patients distress so that they got immediate care.
    On the flip side it also lets me recognize underlying thoughts of others…then I have to remind myself that this is their temporary private thought….and I have private thoughts about them too but they just can’t read my facial expressions. Then I have to forgive and move forward.

    I read Elaine's book years ago and discovered that I am a highly sensitive person. What I struggle with the most is the frenetic pace of the world and conversing with people that overwhelm me because they talk fast, interrupt, and present too much information too quickly for me to process. At work, people want me to keep up with them and expect me to answer a question or solve a problem much more quickly than I am able to, because I just don't work that fast mentally. This overwhelms me to the point that I just shut down, because I'm ashamed to ask that people slow down. I get upset with myself that I can't seem to go at a pace that the majority of people are entirely comfortable with. This goes for physical as well as mental activity.

      I can definitely relate. ...There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking someone to slow down if they are speaking too fast or presenting too much information too quickly. You can kindly interrupt and ask them to repeat what they said or try to repeat back what they said and ask if you heard them correctly then move on. Sometimes we have to "force" others to slow down if the exchange will be productive.

What I really find helps is choosing the activities that you get involved in, and the friends that you surround yourself with real care. You need time to ‘recharge your batteries’, and those around you need to know and respect that. It’s not an easy path, but it is navigable with mindfulness and care.

    I'm also highly sensitive. At highschool other boys would try to make me cry by saying the most ugly things. They knew I was highly sensitive and used my 'weakness' to make them feel good. The girls would call me shy and didn't want to date me or give me a chance. At work I'm quite easily distracted and care a lot for other people. I'm very collegiate and some people take advantage of that by letting me do their job. I thought I had a light form of autism before but this makes more sense to me.

I always thought it was introvertedness and just an issue with me that I feel exhausted after being around people. I didn't have an explanation as to why certain stories, films, forms of music, dance and any art would bring tears and would tug my heart. My mind feels so good! Thank you!

    This is so true about in today’s society, especially in the corporate world, it’s all about productivity and reacting to problems quickly.

    I don't have all these properties, like I'm not super scared of upsetting things like horror movies / shows, but there are certain things that are in this video that is sooo accurate to me. For most of my life, I have always been told to toughen up and that I'm too sensitive to live in this world. It's ridiculous so I turned to this video to learn what type of a person I might be. Thank you this helped to much to understand myself and how to help myself. I have already been diagnosed by severe anxiety and I think that this might be a big reason why I get things like anxiety attacks. Again, thank you. In my opinion, don't listen to the people who tell you that you have to "toughen up" and "stop being so sensitive". Do your own research and figure out why you feel like this, turn to people that are like you for comfort. And just because your a highly sensitive person doesn't mean that you can't do hard working jobs, where you have to work with other people a lot and do a lot and make quick decisions. As Dr Julie said in this video, being a person like this is not a disorder and sometimes it can actually be a great benefit to you that other people don't have.
    Keep it together my friends and keep on going, you'll make it, I promise. :D

Growing up and even now when I share with my mom about something she’s not very understanding on why I may cry for certain things or be sensitive to certain things.

      I hear you on this one, Sarah. My family often feels overwhelming to me and yet when I withdraw for downtime, I sense they see it as lazy or not being able to cope. I did sit down with my mum and asked her to watch the film 'Sensitive' with me. I felt her listening to psychologists and researchers about it, validated what I'd been saying a bit.
      Being an HSP can be a super power and we definitely need them/us. I have to remind myself not to frame my needs as me 'not coping' or me 'being more delicate', which I often did just so people would accept my need for down time. And I'm finally stopping looking for validation and understanding from people who just aren't sensitive enough to perceive it 😊.
      I appreciate this is being recognized. In fact, it seems more than normal to me to be highly sensitive in a culture which is too loud and insensitive.

I have purchased Elaine's book and am reading it. I am learning a lot. This book is a life saver.

    This is absolutely me-always has been. I remember when I first learned about the term “empath” and that HSP was a real thing-it made me feel so heard. I have always taken on the energy and emotions of others, I’m extremely sensitive and have always cried at the drop of a hat-especially if someone else is upset (even a stranger). Plus, all of the other things she mentioned. I absolutely NEED alone time daily to decompress.
    I have used it to my advantage, though, and became a drug and alcohol counselor. I am able to develop really strong relationships with my clients and people feel really comfortable with opening up to me.
    Interestingly, I have found that balancing my chakras (particularly the heart) has helped me a LOT to regulate my emotions. I don’t cry as easily now and have been able to use it as a strength. Just an idea if you are struggling. I have found guided meditations to be most helpful ❤

Pick up on energy in environment. As a social worker- actually feel others pain which has led to feeling the trauma and chronic pain related issues. Need down time alone, quiet, dark rooms to de-stimulate after being around others. Not "sensitive", I am HSP and it is a gift as long as you are able to take care of yourself, set boundaries and take care of yourself.

    Dr Julie Smith is talking about me. I watch people and can be moved to tears with all manner of subtle behaviours. I often think either I am special or that there is something wrong with me. I cry almost every day over something or other, having felt deeply affected by a violent movie, a book or in a social situation. It happened today in Starbucks. Tears rolling down my eyes as I looked at a woman close by eating a cake. I felt sorry for her, though I didn't know her. Since childhood I seem to have a deep and uncanny conection with humanity. I cried even as a 8 year old boy for similiar reasons, though at that age I couldn't fully understand why. My mum would tuck me in bed and I'd start to get tearful. "Why are you crying" I couldn't say why, but I knew it was not for trivial reasons, I would suddenly be overcome with inexplicable sadness and I had only a vague understanding that it was somehow connected to the world and to the past. It was almost like I was grieving. This still happens most days, 40 years on. It's exhausting and draining, but it marks me out as special somehow. I would never change who I am! Never!

If you're a parent or grandparent this is a great book as it shows the different learning styles of children. We tend to educate as one size fits all. But learning the differences allows freedom for children to be who they are in the school setting.

      I'm with you on the HSP team. I was recently "scolded" (pc for bullied) by a dept manager. She finally asked me, "so what do you have to say?!" Feeling as though I had just been robbed of all of my oxygen, I said that I was shocked! She replied,"well THAT makes me even more concerned about your performance!" I felt crushed and to this day wish that I could tell her that my surprise was not based on being clueless! It was based on her horrific skills as a manager. Needless to say, I no longer work there. Letting go of that has been really difficult. It's very healing to have learned that there are HSP out there and it's not necessary to feel ashamed of ourselves!❤❤

      Kelles Tex, I know exactly what you mean. I through the exact same experience! I keep thinking that if we we could somehow learn very specific skills to handle those really hard situations it would help a lot. But that is easier said than done. Learning skills like that requires tons of repetition and practice. So I think we would need to learn the skill from perhaps a leadership coach, Or something like that, just as a first step.Then we would need to find a way to actively practice practice practice practice.I almost wonder if we should form a study Group of HSPs. We could role play these hard situations, And practice responding. Then switch roles. I don't Know how to find other HSP's so I figure I'll post this Idea here at least and see what happens!

    This video was really helpful, as I’ve never thought about myself in exactly these terms, but it’s definitely me. All my life I’ve been described as shy, quiet, thoughtful, introverted, even anti-social and all those things are true (as well as being smart, caring, artistic, clever etc); but it’s so much more than that. Even at a physical level I just feel like I’m wired up so everything I see, hear, think and feel is turned up to eleven, and sometimes that’s helpful and other times it’s not. But it’s great to hear that’s it’s just my baseline and not that there’s something ‘wrong’ with me!

  • @yuckyhamsandwich

    I found your advice extremely helpful. I've been sensitive to my environment, people, and events since I was just four years old. Nowadays, many people see me as boring, but as you pointed out, that's just how I recharge my batteries. Throughout my life, people have often confided in me and trusted me with their problems, and I've always been there to listen. Some of the best conversations I've ever had were with elderly people, but unfortunately, most of the time it's a one-way street. I don't have anyone I can turn to when I'm feeling down or sad.
    For the most part people see me as shy. I open up depend on the person and topic. When people do hurt me though it takes me awhile to recover and learn to reserve that energy before it goes too deep

    Appreciate this, Julie! I received an ASD diagnosis at around 7, only to discover that this was not true and that I was highly sensitive (after working with my current psychologist). This was a game changer because I've always been highly empathetic and loved connecting with people/building relationships. I'm planning to make a series of videos on this topic from my own perspective!

    I can relate to all these comments. I have always been able to pick people's emotions before others. Knew if i went somewhere if bad things happened there. Feel others pain. Need down time.
    Bullied as a kid.
    Even smell things long before anyone else. Can tell when food is going bad before others. Also its made me feel weak as man, easily hurt feelings.
    Thank you for this !!🙏

    My advice which I’ll also follow too, find a job where you help others.
    When I worked in Volunteering it felt so great helping people who needed support.
    I stood out from every employee because I was the most intuitive.
    I knew how to read people , I cared about everyone regardless.
    That’s my advice❤️

    I’ve known I’m an HSP for around 4 years. I was already instinctively withdrawing and resting but knowing the “super powers” also helped me accept it. I’ve worked in a busy high pressure career 30 plus years and it’s been very detrimental. Now I’m giving myself the gift of quitting this career and having a gentle self-paced life. Thank you for giving voice to this trait.

    Finally something that describes me very well. Lately I was blaming myself for being this way, getting effected by small changes and how overwhelming it can get that it paralyzes me. I'm not introverted but I need my breaks. Also, yes being misunderstood as a kid and no one around me realizing that I'm a highly sensitive person and certain events having such a profound impact on me. I was really starting to think that something was wrong with me. I still dont know what should I do? This is my first video on this channel so I hope I can find other resources here.

As a sensitive person, I have often been told this as a negative trait and to work upon it by my peers, loved ones. It won't be wrong from their end, as you rightly mentioned that we are living in a fast paced world and processing so much of information in such a short time can be overwhelming.

    I have been observing myself if I am a very sensitive person and it turns out that I absolutely care with everything and everyone to the point that every single bit of movement, change, or information is seen and heard by me. Sometimes, it is frustrating because it feels like I should be widely understanding and accepting with anything that is infront of me but the compassion and empathy that require in a specific situation or person create the strength in me that, “Oh, hey. I should be kinder. I should be more open-minded. I should step back a little bit.” It gives me self-awareness. Sensitivity might be others’ weakness, but it is more of a strength in me.

    I am deeply moved by art and music but also by other people's emotions and moods. If violence is a part of that I find this overwhelming and stay right away from it. I have always been sensitive and have been told I'm over sensitive but I cannot help this and cope by staying away from people whom create drama for the sake of it as I find it very tiring!...This video has helped me understand sensitivity in a positive way as most of what I have heard about it, is from people whom see life through a negative lens...I find as time has progressed as in the years that have gone by and occurrences that has happened, that I have become even more sensitive than I was before but also more intuitive as well. I have found self healing to be calming and meditation also...thank you for this video 😊

If you can wisely use your emotions, you can find a very purposeful and fulfilling life helping others, building meaningful relationships and also earning pretty good. On the other hand if you let your emotions run you, you are in for a huge trouble which can spoil both your life and also your career.

    I have realised that this almost exactly describes my life. Having been adopted in 1961 and born with the 'Primal Wound' , from a very young age , even though I did not 'know' I was adopted , I instinctively knew something was 'wrong'. I could not relate easily to so many other children and people. Unfortunately my adopting parents were not particularly sensitive having experienced many traumatic situations themselves and so they simply could not comprehend the seemingly 'trivial' sensitivity that I was experiencing. This just made things worse and my life has been broadly characterised by ongoing troubles , events and mistakes.
    Luckily I have found this truth inside myself and have put it to much good use in many ways. But it is often a roller coaster ride.

    Growing up, I thought I was the problem that needed fixing. My family told me that I was too sensitive and a “crybaby,” which made me feel worse. The sight of rape, domestic violence, animal abuse, suffering, or gore makes me want to vomit. Now, in my 30s, I’m finally embracing who I am. I no longer see my high sensitivity to my surroundings and people as a problem. I'm still hoping to be around people who’ll accept me as I am, but what's most important is accepting myself first.

I am 66 years old and what a relief to find there is some sort of help for people like me. I have been told all my life, "Oh, you are just to sensitive". I hate that! I hope I learn from you, that I am ok, and there is help. I have done years of therapy and never once did anyone mention HSP to me. It is truly a distressful personaility trait. I do engage in art, reading, meditation, etc. I am going to keep listening to you, to see if I can truly grow from this sensitivity. Use it as a positive trait. Thank you, Donna

    I’ve been introverted, very emotionally affected and confused about it for my whole life. As a child I was very shy and preferred playing alone for the most part. I hated certain clothing because it rubbed my skin the wrong way. I was petrified of any kind of scary movie and stayed awake for nights after I saw one scene from a campy horror movie. I’ve sometimes slid so deeply into my feelings that it feels unbearable. However with that comes my ability to see how beautiful the world is, and how other people feel as well.

    Well yes I am very sensitive, issue is that my upbringing and childhood has been full of trauma so still having multiple PTSDs and for the longest time I thought is something wrong with me, then being very self aware I realized that is fine to be both creative and logical, while being sensitive, is not an issue but is just how I am, so I have learned to be more in control of vast information I get every day while continue to care and serve people in my life, and yes is true, I do love cleaning the house as a way of recovering from stress and also going for a run helps clear my head.
