This most recent notebook I've dedicated to "Things I Detest" a la Nabokov, who cheerily shares some of what he detests in a 1965 interview at around the 17:56 mark.

When he lists different types of music (inflicted music, next-room music, portable music), I never related to anything so much in my life.

And I thought . . . well, you don't have a to be a literary genius to compile a notebook of things that you detest.

And I've done this before -- as a highly sensitive person, it's cathartic to write about that which causes discomfort.

But I'll probably also start a notebook listing things that I love.

So far, my list includes "appliances that beep," "when it rains, but not enough to justify an umbrella," and "being in-between books."

... Huh. https://depressioneducation.org/mood-spectrum-mood-swings-without-mania/
This makes sense. We don't have one single "mood hormone" or even receptor type in cells, so why would we have one single "correct" mood set? https://depressioneducation.org/depression-section-page-1/the-dsm-rules-for-psych-diagnosis/
... Psychiatryst, lol. That needs to be an ERP game or something. And psychologussy. I should be sorry but I'm so not.

I just found out about Highly Sensitive People and I totally relate. My skin is sensitive- I’m allergic to fragrances and acne-prone. My eyes are sensitive- almost always wearing sunglasses. My hearing is sensitive- live music and other loud sounds are not pleasurable.

This also led me to self identifying as an ‘empath’, which sounds cooler than it is. It should really be called hyper-empathy syndrome, as described in the book, The Parable of the Sower.

Anyone else relate?

A friend shared these videos with me to help me understand her better. And it's crazy how many of the questions relate with me as well...this may explain a lot of things about me.

Eating grapefruit & I'm reminded of the time me & Person X had to supply breakfast for a group. I talked over ideas with the host, we settled on store-bought croissants, muffins & grapefruit. At the breakfast literally nobody (except me) ate what I brought, not even the host who approved the items. Person X's food was finished & I had to bring home all my leftovers. I felt so embarrassed & slighted.

This is why at any potluck I always make sure no dish is untouched.

Dnes (6. 10.) je Medzinárodný deň vysokej citlivosti.

👉 Vysoká citlivosť, známa aj ako hypersenzitivita, je osobnostná črta, ktorá sa vyznačuje intenzívnejším vnímaním zmyslových vnemov a výraznou citlivosťou.

👉 Vyčerpanie, strata výkonnosti, znížená koncentrácia a pozornosť, kardiovaskulárne problémy, podráždenosť, úzkosť, poruchy spánku a dokonca aj tráviace poruchy sú opakujúcimi sa príznakmi u vysoko senzitívnych ľudí. V dôsledku nedostatočného pochopenia a dôveryhodnosti zo strany okolia sa znižuje ich vlastné sebavedomie a trpia, čo môže viesť k duševným ochoreniam (depresia, úzkostná porucha).

@obrerx @actuallyautistic I'm a #HighlySensitivePerson and a good few of my friends identify with autism spectrum. One of whom even assumied i was the same way, but after a brief ponder i obviously wasn't. While we have a few traits in common, when it comes to interacting with people, we seem to be almost opposites. I'm speaking for myself, and fellow #HSP might not be completely the same way, however,

Strobe lights are one of the largest banes of my existence. It’s difficult, and personally embarrassing, to be a highly sensitive jam band fan. #phish #highlysensitive #highlysensitiveperson #photosensitive #photosensitivity

Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) don’t usually come under the neurodiversity umbrella. Is it because different studies claim up to 30% of the population could be HSPs? Or is there another, deeper, reason? #highlySensitivePerson

Moin, moin!

Da ja jeder seine Abkürzungen aus seinem Bereich hat, zur Klarstellung:

As a highly sensitive person, do you too find the world to be too noisy? Do you too, see through people's loudness?
I know I cannot be alone in this.

Randomly on a Tuesday:

I know now why I don't like pranks: I don't want you to play with my feelings. Not even a little. Not even in jest.

My feelings are both big and fragile, and I don't want you to.

That's it, let's go on scrolling.

In a dream, I suspected I was dreaming, so I pinched myself. It hurt. Then I asked someone what year it was, and they said "1608." And then I knew!

I wonder if my ability to feel pain in a dream is related to my ability to tickle myself? And I wonder if both are related to being highly sensitive. Any other HSPs out there?
