Latest read: “The Highly Sensitive Person in Love” by Elaine Aron on #libby
I think this really hit close to home for me. Less practical advice for how to live and adapt in relationships if you’re a “highly sensitive person”. There was also some interesting discussion on gender roles and sensitivity and how a “highly sensitive male” (HSM) feels less than manly in our culture and …. Yeah i have to think about that a lot and my ideas around my own gender and transitioning.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things…
but you still end the day feeling wrung out?
Snappy. Drained. Like your soul needs a nap?
It might not be because you’re lazy or broken or bad at life.
It might just be this:
You’re leaking energy.
Invisible ways you abandon yourself just to keep the peace.
To avoid conflict.
To be understood.
To feel “enough.”
But what if you didn’t have to keep proving your worth through exhaustion?
What if rest wasn’t a reward - but a right?
Inside this post, I’m walking you through 5 signs of energy leakage
and giving you one small, rebellious action to try today.
You don’t need to change your whole life overnight.
But you do get to take your power back, one drop at a time.
Breathe. Swipe. Reclaim your energy.
You deserve to feel like yourself again.
🌙 P.S. If this resonates, you’re exactly who I made Worthy & Rising for - my free community for rebels who are done with self-abandonment, and ready to rise into rhythm, rest, and real connection.
Come join us. You belong there.

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:
#HSP = #HighlySensitivePerson nach #ElaineAron?

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?
I was photographing highly sensitive child yesterday. It's important with them to communicate. You do not touch without a permission and you need to hear if the child is comfortable in the situation. When you touch you communicate how, why and where you are touching (like hair on the face). Best compliments came from the child, she loved the images. She thought herself kind of ugly because many times adults do not know or do not want to know how to act and behive with highly sensitive children. Because of that the images they get... Well, it's not a good thing for a childs developing self-esteem.

Just had a small reminder that when dealing w/ The Outside World, one must always #SelfAdvocate! Not especially easy for a #HighlySensitivePerson like me, who is uber-conscious of overstepping.
I called to re-schedule an annual appointment.
Me: Hi, I'd like to re-schedule my July 2024 appt to August 2024. Is the August calendar open yet?
Them: No.
Me [suspicious]: Um, when will it be open?
Them: Next month.
Me: Uh, I got a July 2024 appt in July, so shouldn't August 2024 be open now?

If you ever need to remember the title of a book, where to find a certain online course or another resource for HSPs, all you need to do is check your handbook.
