13 Problems Only Highly Sensitive People Will Understand

- Do you consider yourself a deep thinker and feel things much more intensely than others? If you answered yes, then chances are you’re part of the small percentage of people who are highly sensitive. Being a Highly Sensitive Person - or HSP - means that you are naturally predisposed to process and perceive information on a much deeper level than most. You’re also likely perceptive, empathetic, intuitive, and self-aware. HSPs are also emotionally intelligent and incredibly creative, passionate, people.
As you can imagine, though, feeling and processing more intensely has some downsides. So without further ado, here are 13 struggles only Highly Sensitive People will probably relate to

Committing myself to losing weight, feel like a bunch of shit for it today..
I regret not letting a dude down easy when he asked me out. Poor dude ☹
Publishing my book when I had the chance
Losing weight
Surprisingly I like Gore and Violence
Also like change......especially when it comes to food, guess it come with my passion to cook
the most annoying thing ever is crying when you're mad/frustrated :(
it doesn't even mean you're sensitive because you can't control it
Exactly like why can't my eyes stop crying for a second
I ALWAYS have to cry like I can’t hold it in
Yup yup yup yup yup OML THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!!! AHHH
Sarah Elize same so that kids didn't say "oh there she goes againn" Or just pick on me I would cry in the bathroom and look at the mirror till my eyes weren't red anymore
I cry when I'm angry cuz I don't wanna hurt that person because I get angry easily too
The most worst feeling is when you understand other's feelings but no one yours
I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!!! I feel like I’m always in the position of helping others with their problems or feelings but I rarely get the same treatment back. Or also when you tell them how you’re feeling they don’t really know how to help it, but you can easily understand what they are going through and help them.
Sorry for the long reply
@@eddielaiche5129 right
I can feel you
Yes... So true, it's sad, sometimes
This comment made me cry because it's so true
My family:
“Stop being so sensitive, toughen up.”
“Stop crying, it’s not even a big deal.”
“Stop overreacting to everything.”
“It’s fine, you’re just being crazy.”
“Hurry up. If you’re this slow at everything you might as well become a homeless person.”
Also my family:
“Why are you still crying?”
“What do you mean, you don’t want to go with us?”
“Why don’t you like us?”
This was me too. Then life decided to teach me the lessons they were. I'm still sensitive, but I know how to take pain as well.
I can live through some things but there has to be a limit. You can only take too much.
I can't relate more..
She nailed it for me. I'm now 90 years old and have been able to integrate all these traits over the years into a solid entity. It's been a rocky road over the years, but understanding myself and the whys has been a blessing. Peace everyone.
🙏
Y has been the driving force of my life .
I hate it when you finally stop crying and someone asks if you're ok and you just start crying again
Soo true, Like i stopped crying and all the tears come again
Ikr sometimes they should just leave my alone I feel better that way but later I will cry again because I thought it was embarrassing😧
Same
that's literally me on my school in the past, that happened to me A LOOOOOONG time ago!
One time I was so upset that my friend hadn't even opened her mouth yet I could just see it in her eyes and that was enough
*Somebody calls me ugly*
My brain: Don’t cry, don’t cry don’t cry
My eyes: IT’S RAINING TEARS HALLELUJAH
Someone said "f*ck u" To me
Me: 😔💧😢
Same--
but then the moment you realize their comment says more about them (they are ugly for saying such a thing!) than about you (likely not ugly, at least your heart is capable of feeling; some people have hard unfeeling hearts and let us have a moment of silence for how pitiful their lives must be...)
Me: *uno reverse card*
@@easytoslip That doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt though...
I am highly sensitive. I have great friends that I grew up with and still are friends. What I realised is I can't take jokes. I don't know how to differentiate between jokes and mockery so I tend to take offense when they are just foolishly joking around. I know how it feels like to me so I don't do the same to other people. I don't want to go out often because it's tiring to feel hurt all the time.
this is me!! even if it's "jokes" to them, i get hurt lol
Same here.
Some people can be way too insensitive.
Last week old man at the fabric shop grabbed my hand and put scissor close to it when I was just helping him for him to cut the fabric as he directed. Then he laughed so hard that he wouldn’t cut my finger.
That was not funny at all to me.
One of my best friends is like "oh best friends make jokes" or whatever, like even if I'm hurt. Someone let me know if this is or isnt okay. I already confronted her about it, but she's continuing to do it.
@@jolteoninacloak its perfectly fine :) having boundaries is necessary in socializing. what isn't okay is that your friend is being super inconsiderate, yes friends joke around but friends should also respect each other & their wishes. like the above video i don't they can quite understand what it's like to be highly sensitive so they probably don't think its a big deal. but if they really are your friend they should consider taking this more seriously.
@@kadurahtutorials I'm very sensitive and I think that would give me a heart attack
We can sense the atmosphere the moment we walk into a room, or if there is the slightest change in mood, even if only between two other people, we feel the tension and become unbearably uncomfortable where others would not even notice. It is also harder to receive love - in my case it’s always “what’s the catch?” or hold back because the more reliant we feel about someone, the more severe the anxiety of how we will cope when it inevitably end. Also, or certainly in my case, HSPs annotate and will not ask for help.
Yes it happens , it feels like we care abt the other person so muchh that we want to be there for them , but smtms we become overcaring bcoz we observe a slightest chng in them and other hand it even hurts bcoz some people can't feel the same way you do and they will never understand .
Smtms we even expect someone to feel and understand us and be there for us just like we are there for everyone just because we feel so deeply
Asking for help has always been a huge challenge, even something as basic as asking someone to help me move a heavy piece of furniture. Since early childhood (am now 76 😱) I learned to be self-reliant and not let on that I needed anything.
Thanks for this.
I discovered years ago when Elaine Aron first came out with HSP information that I was an HSP, but it helps to be reminded. It's easy to fall back into the feeling that something's wrong with you, especially when someone close to you flat out tells you so. 🙏🏼🤗❤️
how tf is this so spot on? I both 'sense' people really well, but don't understand them in any way... very confusing.. but I can't believe everyone just lies all day.. ?
Yeah
Oh, absolutely. I relate to all your points 👍
Sad: cry
Angry: cry
Frustrated: cry
Stressed: cry
Argument: cry
And the list goes on...

Omg same, while I'm actually a rough person
Mood
it’s all over when someone asks if you’re okay-
I burst into tears immediately. I tell myself to hold it in but I can’t😭😭😭
Me: * almost cries *
Anyone: Are you okay?
Also me: aw _heeeeeeell_ nah
or do you need help? I make a joke, "Yes, I need a lot of help." But I'm not kidding. 🤍
once my math teacher asked me if i was okay and before i could even answer i got a panic attack and had to leave class
It's so weird that when someone actually asks that we tear up a bit, and then when we actually say what's wrong, we feel like we're just bothering them. Atleast in an introvert's perspective.
When she said “empathetic” in the first 30 seconds of the video I thought she said “pathetic” and my heart sank 🥺 THAT IS HOW SENSITIVE I AM 🙊

I feel bad being an HSP, I feel that I'm a burden to other people. I can't explain myself when I'm being misunderstood. It's hard to be like this because I feel that I'm not as tough as them..
Our best option : be quiet
omg samee
@@Nothinghere728 Exactly ...that would be best option .
I relate to this so much
@@Nothinghere728 exactly
It’s both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply
@i n it's because you can feel so deeply that it's a blessing. In a way, I guess you have the ability to really look into the beauty of things that many people would overlook. At least that how I think :p but yeah I'm not even sure if I'm an HSP myself, this just sounds a lot like me, but yeah, being in touch with your emotions and stuff could suck at times, but it really can be wonderful in the sense that I'm able to feel a lot? I'm not quite sure how to explain it but uh, it's just very peaceful I guess...when your not overthinking something you did years ago LOL
@@toast8062 hsp are so soft lol. I have an extreme lack of empathy and sympathy so I'm not even close and I'm proud of hit.
@@magnetisemplayz3839 yeah we're pretty soft lol. That's kinda where the problematic part of it comes in. When you can't let go of anything smh ✋😔
It’s a blessing because you are more compassionate and empathetic while a curse because sometimes you’ve had too much of it that it may become toxic
@@toast8062 it's very true! It is a blessing because it is like seeing beauty in a simple leaf and that is happiness because you find beauty and positivity in everything. You love life.
Anyone else get stressed when someone is angry around them (not even at them, just in their presence)?
Hell yeah. Or when someone is happy, suddenly you feel happy too
Totally!!

my psychologist said this is a wonderful trait to have, but it also led me to have social anxiety disorder. it has it's great qualities, but it's definitely not all roses and flowers, and can lead to a lot of emotional stress.
Hi. If you have trauma it can potentially lead to depression if not dealt with it. With too much stress and all kinds of other factors it can get you în a tough spot. Take care of yourselves în all ways possible without forgeting about your souls. Wishing you all the best.
It’s a complete curse if you ask me. I’d rather have the emotional range of a teaspoon, I reckon my life would be much easier.
“Your very presence makes this world a better place”
cries
opps, i posted just before reading your comment xD but hey^^
*no longer cries but smiles :-)*
I nearly cried because of your comment. Jesus, what an exhausting World 😂😂
The funny thing is I actually teared up XD whats wrong with me 😂 lucky I didn't cry cuz my mom is here. She hates it when I cry especially cuz i cry too much over little things.
Ikr. I can’t take the slightest of a compliment.
terrifictofu36 OH MY FKN GOD Y E S
The worst part of having HSP is the second-hand embarrassment. Even movies containing embarrassment kills me.
Exactly. I cringe so hard when it happens
yesss
I can't stand it too. Like also reading books that has a cringe content
I hate comedy movies for this exact reason
Am i the only one who experiences a tingly feeling in my gut when thing like these happens? And its very annoying
All true. Discovering HSP was a huge relief for me. For so many years I believed I was wrong for being so different. Now I am grateful for my gifts, even sometimes it's still hard. Once we understand, we can move forward! Thank you for this video! 🙏❤
Same here, huge relief. I’m spending time reading the comments to confirm that I’m not alone.
saaame check my comment ❤
Yeah I don't know anymore, doing what do I spend more time lately. Being glad that I'm sensitive and that I can understand what others go through easily, or wishing I wasn't so sensitive, because it's really hard as I often feel down for hours or days after hearing a hint of criticism
"As a highly sensitive person myself, I can totally relate to these 13 problems! It's tough feeling everything so deeply and being easily overwhelmed by sensory input. But at the same time, being highly sensitive can also be a gift - it allows us to appreciate beauty and connect with others on a deeper level. It's important for us to recognize and honor our sensitivity, while also finding ways to manage it in a world that can be overwhelming at times. Thanks for sharing this insightful video!"
It's a gift and a problem, like any other trait. Some of these problems can be lessened, I managed to not take things personally and, very important, to say no. Others, I doubt can ever be solved - like needing quite alone time.
My biggest concern was always being accused of being lazy when people can't understand that dealing with interactions, others'emotions and social setting exhausts me, us, more than others.
You judge them as problems. Your life will be more content and much happier when you come to realize these are positive traits. The key is to integrate them into your daily life and use them in a positive way as you mature. I'm now 90 years old and an HSP. Life is a blast.
worst things is that you can't let go of embarrassing memory, whenever any embarrassing memory from past pops up into your head you start cringing and beating yourself over past.
so true.
Yeeeeeesssss
Yessss
I mean, if hsp's experience these am i an hsp because i can't stop thinking about something embarrassing that happened so long ago?
@@adyhottie bro same. I thought I was the only one😭
I’m not depressed, I’m not suicidal, I finally realised, I’m just highly sensitive. Thanks for this video.
same!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, everyone has ‘depression’ or is ‘highly sensitive’ but no one has a proper diagnosis. We just trying to be cool and different at any cost
Hugo de Andrés some people could not but a lot of people do have a professional diagnosis, whether it be from a doctor or therapist.
Same! I never knew this was a thing but I knew something was up and I realize I definitely have hsp
Hate to break it to you, but being HSP can actually trigger those things very easily. I am still depressed sometimes and I really was suicidal, but knowing how to deal with yourself helps making you feel better.
Many HSPs are on the Autism Spectrum. I always thought I was just sensitive but now at the age of 26 I am realising that I'm an autistic female and I learned to mask my behaviour extremely well. Remember, autistic females have different and more subtle behaviours so CZcams or google symptoms in females specifically if you are a women :) hope this helps someone out there!
I will surely do that! Thanks for the tip! One can never learn to much about those subjects! If I'm not concerned, at least I'll know better and will be able to remember useful information if needed one day!
That's interresting! Can you explain a bit more what you found out they have in common? I cannot see the parallels and similarities clearly yet but I think you're onto something -
Same here. As a man. Even less represented.
@@SergioBlackDolphinWe need equalized representation. Autistic men need to be shown & cared about just as much. Saying this as an autistic female feminist.
I am starting to doubt my ASD diagnosis though. I think I am just a just HSP.
I’m actually crying right now; so many of my questions that I was afraid to ask are being answered. I was diagnosed as neurodivergent last month and was told I’m a HSP. This gives me so much peace.
@@whatslyssyt's not even a diagnosis... HOW TF DID THAT PERSON GET DIAGNO-
It’s not a diagnosis. It’s a personality trait.
they said they were diagnosed as neurodivergent. that can include autism, ADHD, and things such as OCD. @@jezbarredo9430
And when you get told “Oh, you’re going to cry again”; it’s the actual worst.
FACTS
That’s relatable to any person. I am certainly not a HSP and can relate to that whenever I have cried and I have been told that
Hugo de Andrés we take different meaning to it because we do it all the time without being able to control it
“you’re overeating just stop pls” - me
“you’re the one who started crying!”- person
and being called a cry baby because someone yelling makes me panic and cry....*sad cat noises*
my teacher: raises their voice a tiny bit at me
me: DONT CRY DONT CRY DONT CRY DONT CRY
monkeybarzzz frrrr
Been there before :(
Haha poor u smolbean 😂yeah ive experienced that bfr eventhough i tried to look unoffended then the teacher was like "oh nonono dont cry-" pft
i can relate fjebrjdjrj
Omg me I’m like “ act like nothing happened, act like nothing happened, they just asked you to stop talking, it’s ok, they’ll forget it, calm down calm down ARRRGRGRGRR”
Not being able to relax more, instead of being wound up and afraid of the outcome. Less afraid, 73, and I'm getting there, better late than never. If I had 1 wish, it would be that no one had fear in their lives. Its crippling. Hugs and a Merry Christmas to all. Sherie Rodrigues from Australia
Hello, here I am, an HSP. I have learnt to love and accept myself, warts and all. I am so fortunate to have entered my 7th decade, reasonably intact!!! I love using humour to lighten up my day and to watch others smile and chuckle. Thank You for this information, it leads to further insights.
I hate the fact that I overread people’s body language..like just sensing their tone gives me many impressions and I start to make conclusions
"I start to make conclusion" and the problem is many times conclusion is right (either bad or good )
Yeah, it does sucks
mee
JESUS saves, helps and nurtures. He told me to stop judging others lest i be judged. It's a trait that can be trained for the better and love of others ♥️
me too :(
if someone comforts me while i’m already crying mAKES ME CRY EVEN MORE
Me to! Then I feel bad for crying so much so I try to hold it in then it gets worse and then I feel even worse for them sitting there while I cry I CRY EVEN MORE!
Same here. But that's mostly because I feel dumb for crying and someone being so kind to me while I'm feeling like I don't deserve it, breaks down all the dams.
Broooo I feel bad, so I’ll cry, and then I’ll feel bad for crying, and then someone will notice, so I’ll cry more because it’s embarrassing for me, and then they’ll try to comfort me, which makes me awkward and so I cry more because I feel bad because I know they won’t be able to comfort me, and then they start trying to comfort me by touching me (hugging, rubbing arms, other stuffs, etc etc.) aNd I HATE being touched when I’m emotional, so I get irritated and angry at them so I cry more, but hey it’s not their fault they’re just trying their best, they’re trying to help you you ungrateful mcnugget! So I cry more because I feel bad because I just swatted them or maybe even scratched them/hit them because being touched while emotional makes me uncomfortable and irritable, so I might have hurt them because of my past trauma, which wasn’t even related to them, but anyways I feel bad for maybe hurting them while they’re trying to make me feel better, and then i just think back to the trauma and then I get uncomfortable and angry and shameful and embarrassed, and viola, I cry some more. I really hate being an HSP lmao
Then they say "Stop crying" as if it would do much
same
I have this thing with noises. If the tv is on, my husband is listening to music and then gets on the phone talking loud, I have to turn one of the noises off and go to my quiet spot. It takes me 10-20 minutes to regain my composure and come back out of the room and maybe continue the tv or whatever. I get scattered and frazzled easily. I tell my husband “ Nope! I can’t to three. Turn that off or I’ll turn mine off.” I can’t really do concerts anymore, too much stimuli. I don’t understand the need to all crowd together and have loudness from every direction. I also have a preconceived notion of how things should turn out and they usually don’t go that way and I’m constantly let down. Oh and I noticed that as more and more people get around me, the more I can’t focus and get nervous. I love one on one friendships, groups are to scattered for me. I do admire people who do associate in groups. Recently, if I see violence on tv, I turn the channel, it’s just too much. Society has gone wild. The news isn’t in everyday in our house, I have to take a break from it often. I want to laugh, and find it hard to find truly funny comedy anymore.
I think one of the best parts about this video is that it has revealed a community in all these comments, one that many of us more than likely never knew existed! It seems there are many of us in the same boat, a refreshing feeling that brings!
It's possible that my eyes start building tears in seconds just by listening a melodious music of guitar or piano
Acoustic guitars, get to me too. Even if the melody isn't sad or anything.

This really hit the spot! I am extremely sensitive and although good at hiding it, I have been working on myself for awhile. but it's really nice to know many others feel the same as I do :) thank you for this video!
That video popped up in my recommendations and It's a weird feeling to finally be able to put a word on a bunch of feelings I had for so long. I'm not sure being HSP is such a good thing in our society, it felt so bad for so long, always feeling misunderstood and tired because of the strength it takes to confront the world. But I'm still trying even if it feels like I'm alone.
don’t see a list yet so-
1. you can’t function without sleep
2. you can’t stand loud noises
3. you often feel emotionally exhausted
4. you scrutinize social interactions (noticing small social ques)
5. you’re easily triggered by violence
6. you have a hard time moving on
7. you’re uncomfortable with change
8. you don’t react well to criticism & conflict
9. you don’t do well under pressure
10. your boundaries are easily crossed
11. you’re your own worst critic
12. you require alone time
13. you’re often misunderstood
14. You are hungry several hours after eating.
15. You often wish you had more money.
16. You require a jacket or sweater in colder weather.
17. You think "mean people" suck.

happens to me too, and other people crying either I will start crying or have a hard time not crying
I never realized that this really could be it! I struggle with ALL of these things but i just figured something was wrong with me. I feel so relieved but overwhelmed at the same time to know it wasn’t just me not doing anything right. Thank you so much for making this video, just learning about what’s really going on with myself helps so so so much.
I can honestly say I check many of these boxes. The things that I can most definitely relate to are: I get emotionally exhausted easily, I scrutinize social interactions, I have a hard time moving on, I’m somewhat uncomfortable with change depending on what it is), I don’t react well to criticism or conflict (this is a big one for me), I don’t do well under pressure (I get overwhelmed easily), boundaries are easily crossed (I have a hard time saying no), I’m my own worst critic, I require alone time (my famous phrase is, “I need peace,” & I’m often misunderstood (100% on this one!) I often feel that I have to explain myself because I’m very much understood. It’s exhausting & frustrating, & many times it leads to conflicts. This is because people think I’m complaining, when all I’m doing is trying to explain myself. I truly am a kind hearted & friendly person, but over the years I’ve become more introverted because it’s so hard for me to get others to understand me. I also feel deeply & always go out of my way to help others. This often leads to people taking advantage of my kind nature as well as confuse my kindness for weakness. That’s when I get mad at myself & wish I could be less sensitive & have the ability to say no when I need to. 😔
The worst thing is when you're doing just fine and something happens and someone tells you "oh no is she going to start crying again" and then just because they said that you start crying.
Yes. that's right.
I HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT JUST GIVES THEM MORE THINGS TO BULLY YOU ABOUT AND IT’S JUST JDHFJHSJWHFISJS

I agree to 12 of the 13 facts in this in my case.
That is a better description than most people just saying "crying". I think if you cry all the time that's something else.
Wow, it is the most accurate things I ever related to
Hahahahaha me
I relate to a lot of these as an autistic person, and my neurodivergent friends share and talk about issues like these. Most of them tie in with sensory overloads/sensory issues in general, as well as the general issues caused by autism and other neurodivergencies. Some of the ones that I experience personally, like needing excess alone time, are caused by masking too much and needing to wind down after sensory overloads, meltdowns, or just being with too many people for too long.
A lot of people tried telling me I was just a HSP my whole life. I'm not. I know that lol. I've always known that. Since I was born, the talk about possible autism didn't really stop, it was constantly hinted at and redirected with my other comorbidities... my psych finally said its time to get evaluated, they've exhausted their resources.. I'm sure hearing HSP to someone either not or on the neurodivergent spectrum (but not ASD) can be helpful but this drives me up the wall sometimes because this actually downplays the intensity, frequency and life long hindrances of my own "behaviors" mainly avoidance, and the issues I struggle with daily. My providers trying to label me as HSP didn't help anything but exasperated my issues.
if you need the alone time, it's not excess. It's necessary for YOUR health and well being.
This is most definitely me. Combine this with mental illness (which I have) and life can be a struggle.
When you are a highly sensitive person, an introvert, and have social anxiety. Boom! Game over
Sounds like me :)
@Theuniverse Isaniceplace It's very nice to meet you too

My therapist told me it's a wonderful trait to have and I'm just wondering for whom?
Being highly sensitive in a burning world is just a self destruct button.
People consider you as ignorant when you tell them that you can't handle watching /hearing the news so you limit the intake extremly.
It's only a bliss for others but rarely for the highly sensitive person him- or herself.
I wonder about it too. When I'm feeling down, when someone tells me one bad thing about myself, when someone tells me I could have done something differently, when someone wants something from me and I try explaining them I don't want to, but end up saying yes and then being mad at myself. Being sorrowful that no one understands me. Wishing I wasn't so sensitive. Worrying about everything little thing that happened. Putting the blame on me while justifying others.
They don't have a problem pointing things out when I do something wrong. But when I, after being silent for a longer time, finally say that what they do is not okay, they're so surprised. They suddenly feel attacked and find me unreasonable.
Yeah how often I wish I was different. Or maybe for others to understand my point of view. Why is it that I can understand them and justify their actions while they just can't or find me unreasonable. It would be just so much easier if no one was sensitive. I mean why would I care about those little things? Why don't others care? Why can't I not care?
Does it make the world a better place? Does it? What does it give me that I notice the smallest changes in people's moods? Right but it's about me, not the world. Honestly at the moment I don't see how is it good for either; me or the world
@@veni5126THANK YOU
I'm not sure about being highly sensitive, I think my nervous system was tripped by trauma as a baby, I was sick. I don't see it as a blessing cos even if you see or sense problems what can you do really? Road to hell paved with good intentions. 😢
Personally I wouldn’t wish it on anyone
When you're the ONLY highly sensitive person in your family and nobody gets you. Its a lonely life.

Relatable
Isn't wrong
Yes
And if they're toxic it's worst
"you're so dramatic! Why do you always cry?!"
So yeah i defo relate to these
Exactly
Yes, I have people telling me that all the time as well. I can understand for u.
Yeeeeesssss. Then when I have people telling me to "just stop, you gotta stop crying so much". Uhh sorry but that's pretty much telling me to stop being who I am. Yes, I would not like to cry at the drop of a pencil but i am who I am. Change all I want but I cant stop how I feel.
I don't know this video said there are lot less ppl have this personality. I thought I'm just an introvert.
Yeshhh
HSP people are perceptive, empathetic, creative, compassionate, intuitive and self-aware.
1. Can't function without sleep
2. Can't stand loud noises
3. Often feel emotionally exhausted, frequently absorb other people's feelings
4. Scrutinize social interactions, over-analyze
5. Triggered by violence
6. Have a hard time moving on
7. Uncomfortable with change
8. Don't react well to criticism and conflict
9. Don't do well under pressure
10. Boundaries easily crossed
11. You're your own worst critic
12. You require alone time
13. You're often misunderstood.
No cuz I was sleeping few hours the last months and I thought I was burnout, I’m changing that slowly
Nah cuz why is this so accurate it hurts

@@jayliu7786 Are HSP's clingy (in a good way) and affectionate?
ive found my people, and everything makes more sense lol
same ✊
CORRECT😩
same here !
Same. It only took me going through some rough friendships/relationships
This is so true!
I cry when someone else cries I cry when a teacher even raises their voice a little bit at me I cry when I dont know the answer to something because it feels like I let the freaking teacher down I cry when Something is to loud I cry at every emotion but not happy Its so annoying but i cant help it
the only thing that makes me the most happy is making my own songs and playing the ukelele
Update: lol I am indeed a high sensitive person, I got it checked and have now a therapist :)
yeah it's really unfortunate :(
also that is a really cute hobby, playing the uke and making songs 😊
Omg same like earlier this year my teacher caught me wearing AirPods and they were disappointed bc I’m one of the quiet respectful kids and I started tearing up 😭
hell yes ukulele HSPs (also yup i can second all of that -the feeling of letting people down especially, even if yk they're chill)
I cry when the teacher hardly yells at me even tho I try to keep it in
My math teacher cried one day bc she was disappointed in how loud our class was and I started crying too :/
I'm constantly reading the atmosphere for changes, no matter how subtle. Then I go and analyse and magnify any changes I perceived. It's exhausting.
Wow. I’m floored . Now I know why there’s days I can’t literally take calls from people - even my closest friends and family.
My girlfriend is highly sensitive. Taking notes so I can take even better care of her ❤️
That's sweet
So sweet omg 😢💕
Awww
You learning this will definitely help you, hsp are misunderstood a lot.
you are wonderful.
If you raise your voice- even a little bit I. Will. Cry.
Sameee, i hate crying in public because i feel so weak when i do, and i feel like people expect me to be strong.
@@_froskkk_58 same I feel so embarassed, the worst thing is that when I start crying I can't stop
@@_froskkk_58 That's why I have stopped caring about the opinions of other people some time ago. In this mode you are putting additional pressure onto yourself, which you should avoid by all means.
The best thing is staying true to your heart instead of warping yourself into some form that isn't you (and which you most likely don't like, either).
Once you stop doing that, you are going to notice that you are feeling much more balanced, which in turn should be enough to reduce your need to cry.
Nonetheless there's nothing wrong with crying since it is a natural way to express your feelings.
Besides, who is the stronger person? The one who is suppressing his feelings, because he has to prove everyone that he is strong or the one who has no problems expressing them and doesn't give a damn about how others are perceiving him?
@@sierra5798 And when someone asks you if you're okay, it only becomes worse😂
I've become very good at not crying-even if I really want to.
I'm pretty sure it's bad but whatever
Once when I was in fifth grade a friend that lived in my neighborhood had been sick for a long time and came back to school on the day we had a test. I sat next to her and was so worried about her being able to do well that I glanced over to see how she was doing. The teacher thought I was copying, I was not. I was so upset. She embarrassed me in front of the entire class and I was mortified. But how do you explain that you care so much that you were worried about her and who would believe you! She changed my seat right then. But being so sensitive I didn’t say a thing. I couldn’t believe she would think I would copy, much less copy off of someone that hadn’t even been in school for weeks. I am now in my 70’s and have never forgotten this. Just lately have been watching things about HSP’s and am so glad I finally understand that being sensitive is not bad, just different. Always was told I was too sensitive and emotional like it was a bad thing. But, learned to appreciate my sensitivity. My skin was even sensitive when I was very young and I remember that some clothes actually hurt to me because some seams would bother me. I loved the story about The Princess and the Pea because I felt that at least someone understood and was like me! Bet the person that wrote that fairy tale was a HSP!
All 13 . One of my biggest issues are socializing with friends. I want to but after a couple hours I need to get away. A wedding on Saturday almost broke me. I knew so many people at the wedding and enjoyed it but I struggled so hard. Now that I’m getting older, watching friends, neighbors, family become I’ll and die, I’m lost . My dog died a year and a half ago and I have a 10 month old puppy but a, still grieving horribly over that loss. I still cry about the loss. Being the baby of my family, I fear the loss of my siblings and being left behind. I hope God knows I can’t handle it and takes me first. The older I get the more difficult it is.
My best friend is an HSP. She makes everyone around her happy. She is sunshine of mine and my friends lives.
But at the same time those people are nervous and shy, depressed and hurt
you're a really good friend for mentioning her :]

Most annoying is that I can't stand up for myself, whenever I face a conflict I get stuck, blocked and I can't even think of a single argument for explaining my point of view or just simply defend myself, and I am happy if I don't burst out in tears. And then when I am completely alone thousands of ideas and possible replies come and attack my brain....hello, where were you a few minutes ago??????
That's exactly how I react too. I get all blocked, can't move and can't even look the person who's yelling in the eye.. even if I know that I didn't do anything wrong. Then I either cry or have a panic attack.. or both 😓 And in the middle of the night I can't sleep because my brain then thinks of all the answers/reactions I should have had 🤦
@@janag600 I wanted to ask if you do anything to learn to take a stand, but than I realized that I don't either 🤣🤣 whenever I try to do anything it all starts again
TOTALLY relatable.
I am the same way
I don't like how much this relates to me😩
I really felt when she spoke about:. " you are your worst critic" and that HSPs normally just say yes although they want to say no ,due to their compassion with others
I'm a man, 68 years old. The way I learned I was "sensitive" was around my 7 years, being a boy ans sensitive is a good recipe to be bullied, as you said, I didn't understand violence and cruelty, so I became the target. As teen, I had mastered the art of "not crying", what ever happened, I also learned I could not hurt other people without hurting myself.I became stoic before I knew it was a thing. It didn't stop the bullying, I was a "strange" guy, I could "read minds". I was a "difficult child", so I've been expelled from 4 schools, not understanding, then, why. Later, as an adult, I got used to have perfect strangers telling me their life...and their problems. Why to me? When I ask to some of them: because I seemed a "nice" guy. My daughter, years later, told me I was HSP, The concept did not exist when I was young. Now I know, but I still can't stand more then 5 people around me. Saturation?
I can very much relate to not hurting someone without hurting myself. My dream of being a nurse went out the door when I realized I could not even stick someone for a drop of blood in my one physiology class in high school. I struggle now in my martial arts class when we do moves that we should make our partner tap out. I can not do it, but now I see why. I related to this whole video.

Yep very having hsp makes everyone just call you sensitive and too dramatic about everything
I only call people “too sensitive” when they do rude stuff to me and I just smile to them, but when I do the same stuff to them they freak out and start hitting me. It hurts inside but I have to deal with it. I know not all sensitive people are like “them” but we insensitive people don’t call you that just for fun. Tho there are people who call you sensitive when they themselves are sensitive, I hope you understand and I wasn’t rude..

i’m just an HSP, as much as I don’t want to admit that i’m a sensitive person I am. People tend to say i’m overreacting with things that are actually very hurtful to me and I never understood why I get so hurt over them because there small things. My mother always tells me to toughen up and she always wonders why I act and feel the way that I do. But I have came to a realization that this is just simply who I am. Sadly I can’t change it but at least I can come to terms with it.
This video is just EXCEPTIONAL........ I am literally choked!!!!! Every-single-point described me! I didn't even know I was Highly Sensitive..... I knew I was empathetic and sensitive to energies, but that is.... WOW!

My therapist recently told me im highly sensitive and it has made SO MUCH sense since.
In my friend group there are two highly sensitive people actually, me and my friend. Everyone always is sympathetic and thankful towards my friend because they’re more obvious about it, while I try to hide it more.

Things HSPs can relate to:
-overwhelming stimulation (lights, music. Etc)
-thinking inanimate things have feelings
-overthinking others words/emotions
-being uncomfortable around major emotions (anger, sadness, etc)
-great at reading body language
-love being alone at times
-others dictate your feelings (how others feel is how you feel)
-easily falling for tv characters
-feeling like no one can help how you feel
-you hate change
-you’re neutral in fights
-stress is 100x worse for you than others
-you cry for everything and anything
-you might be more artistic
-movies move you more than others
-you have a hard time saying no
-people enjoy being around you
-people say you’re a great friend
-people come for you for advice even if you have no experience in what they need help for

Ok but thinking inanimate things have feelings.... my mom used to joke and say that my stuffed animals were upset and I would always be like NO IM SORRY
the inanimate objects have feelings thing though
_are you reading my mind_
true..
I see something people who are not sensitive don't usually see because I am highly sensitive. It was hard to embrace that I was born with the sensitivity overwhelming me but eventually it got me to think that the creativity that I have is related to the sensitivity and I appreciate that :) and I am willing to do something good with it for the society..
I have ADHD and have heard that a common attribute is emotional sensitivity. People called me a crybaby in middle school constantly but now I feel like I can understand myself more instead of feeling embarrassed.
'A very small amount of people have HSP'
Everyone who sees this video: 'Me'
I was thinking the same, then decided, nah. I multi-task well, think I'm good at problem solving, but I don't cry or feel much to see fake pain, what I'm saying is say people are gonna focus on the hits,woke they ignore the misses

ella hates ela yes, so embarrassing! I don’t even have to know the person very well.
I cant watch a movie drama without crying...
Yes. I don't like crying because when I was growing up crying was a big no no. My dad told me one day that I'm not a womanly because real women don't cry and are strong emotionally.
I've had genuine instances of that where it was totally involuntary, but I've also had instances of being very insensitive. I clicked on this out of curiosity and I see a complete overlap with my INFJ personality type & ADHD/RDS symptoms, but I just don't feel comfortable claiming to be HSP bc there is a lot about my personality type & disorders that get in the way of being consistently empathic (lack of theory of mind, low EQ). Definitely a part of me that I want to cultivate & be more in touch with tho!

hi im awkward omg I feel this
Or they start laughing
I hate it
Then they aren’t very good friends if they’re going to be like that if they’re going to discourage you from expressing who you are, what your flaws do to you and what they are and talking about both your strengths and weaknesses.
EXACTLYYY!
I was diagnosed with HSP and high IQ a few months ago and this video is so spot on it makes me uncomfortable. I should send this to everybody I know!
This made me cry. I relate to this so much and it is hard to not feel like a failure because I can't just function normally.
I notice people confuse it with a lack of self confidence
Yes, all the time. it is so annoying, but it is what it is when they cant relate...there are so many other things that people cant understand like sexuality when they dont have the same one themselves.
Ikr! 😭
Honestly, and it’s annoying bc I do have self- confidence I’m just not open and loud about it. So people think I’m not and confuse it for me being sensitive and think that it’s connected to not being self confident. It’s annoying ngl
HSP people also tend to follow the carpenter's rule of "measure twice, cut once" which others see as a lack of confidence. I also think many people will tell another person they lack self-confidence as a way of gaslighting them so they can manipulate them
yes. eg, because I take a bit more of time than others measuring literally every bits of everything, I make decisions slower and there- I would always be the loser. but that's okay.
I'm literally crying... i have found my people. Can we like start a support group? 😂😂
Cheshy dude me too! However cheshy, I want you to know I’m here with yah even though I may be through my virtual screen and so are you but my heart and soul is reaching out to you.

Hi my fellow hsp's I feel so seen , I feel so heard , it feels peaceful
So many days I have wondered is there something with me !! When people around me didn't feel as much as me
I lost a guy friend at 2021. It is been a year had passed and until now I'm still hurt what he had and her sister done on me, they even cyber bully me in wattpad just to make me I am the bad peson to his brother's followers. I tried to forced myself that they are the one at fault but mostly I am too, because I believe in his every lies even some are true, I don't know.
Now I understand why I am still holding to our past even it's been a year. Even my mother gets irritated when I still can't forget my past with this friend. I know myself now, thank you for creating a video like this. I am always not lost because of your videos.
I think the most hated things that a HSP heard is "stop being so sensitive!" "why are you so sensitive??"
Edit : really??? Omg hsucjsbd- *hold sobs* thanks guys ;-;
Basically saying why are you still living
In kindergarten I was crying because I misheard directions and had to redo a worksheet and the teachers were like WHY IS IT WET?
yeah when someone says that it makes me even more sensitive
True
I hear this so many times that I start telling this to myself when I feel bad..
A question to you all....
Do you people ever feel like you want to save or change the whole world around you, you want to have more social interactions with people about feelings and thoughts and you are very passionate about the beauty of the world but somehow you drown in your own thoughts and can't step out of your brain? Like, actually doing passionate things to make people smile or the world better but you're overthinking so much that you're exhausted? You never really feel that people REALLY understand you, as you think you're alone with this HUGE galaxy of thoughts in your head? Like, really feeling alone because you have noone in realife who is like you but is finding comfort in yt comments, where I don't see the people behind them?
Did you ever feel like this text could be wrote by you and you have a strong boundary with a stranger that could be anywhere?
... This was not supposed to be this long but at least you might guessed by now that I am an extremely sensitive overthinker. :) you are not alone with this. I love you ppl.
Edit: hey I'm so happy to see you guys feeling the same as me, this proves to me that these thoughts are not wandering in my head alone:) there are more of our kind.
oh my god. It's so accurate it becomes creepy :') I'm happy there are other ppl like me in this world ❤️
This is so me glad that someone can actually relate to how I feel
You have to reign in your mind. Having a sensitive and fast mind means you can drown in your own thoughts and emotions, sit still and contemplate things for 20 minutes a day and try to control your mind. You will be a puppet to your thoughts and feelings if you don't slow your thoughts down and challenge your emotions, you can do the things you want but only if you act according to how you know you should and according to plans you make. Don't allow whims and fallacies to control your actions.
These kind-of thoughts have a lot to do with why I have depression. Wanting to change the world but feeling like you can't really change anything. Wanting to do and be better but feeling trapped by your own mind.
I have never related to something this much in my life... Wow

I’m 67 & just learned I was an HSP two yrs ago. It explained my whole life & I wish I knew sooner.
Thank you for this, even if it’s 3 yrs old… the information contained within is still very relevant and accurate today.
I am a HSP.
I was so glad to find this post that explains things and offered understanding and support.
I swear, 9 times out of 10 I feel like I’m not understood, I’m not heard or taken seriously.
This is why.
Since only 1 in 5 ppl are HSP, it makes sense that very few ppl around me are sensitive to the way I am and the way I must handle myself and my life.
I sadly feel like a freak around my family and friends a lot bc none of them (including extended family) understand where I’m coming from on a sensitivity level.
It’s foreign to them all.
I’m so hyper sensitive that it often feels like they have no sensitivity AT ALL!!
Most ppl in general seem oblivious to the things I am seeing and feeling in the environment we share.
I get really frustrated and confused by them and their attitudes all the time.
It never changes.
After a while, (I’m no spring chicken) you just get the feeling that most ppl in this world are not like you and they don’t get it.
Just a world full of unfeeling, insensitive, oblivious jerks 🤷🏻♀️
How would your family even know you are this way? Most people don’t even know what this is. I didn’t. Have you tried talking to them about it or are you just making assumptions. What you term as thoughtless or callus treatment of you may be sheer ignorance.
What sucks is when you avoid people because you don’t want to feel everyone’s emotions because it affects you.
I was taught by a therapist, to picture yourself holding a mirror that is facing away from you, and then to picture someone else emotions bouncing off the mirror before it can touch you and going back to them. It takes practice, and it takes patience with yourself, but it really does help me. Hopefully it can help you and everyone else that has HSP.

When I was a child, I was always told "stop crying", "ugh, she's gonna cry again", "there's no reason for you to be crying right now", til I became numb and I couldn't cry anymore in front of anyone ... Now that I'm an adult, I'm slowly but surely reconnecting with my crybaby side, and letting it come back to the surface :)
Fortunately I hold my tears back pretty well in public so I can avoid stares, questions and awkward attention in general. But then people think I am alright when I am not really.
I got BULLIED in elementary school for being crybaby
*hears that phrases*
*cries even one hour more for Heart that and feel there something wrong with me*
I can relate to all the traits mentioned in the video and no wonder why I am so misunderstood by lot of people and I am still raw after an year of losing a dear friend. Thanks for the video. ❤
It's amazing how the discovering of being an HSP has changed my entire perception of my personality. I am no longer something that needs to be 'fixed'.
I've always enjoyed being empathetic though, and truly connecting with people. But it does make connecting all the harder, as I find I can only truly form bonds with a fare few people. The rest I find too loud, or that we completely misunderstand one another.
This video hits the nail on the head for me, except performing under pressure and taking criticism. However, this is due to me being a designer and web developer.You can't be in the design industry and not take criticism, but this took a lot of practice and I'm proud to say criticism washes over me little water off a duck's back now
i totally agree! accepting criticism is what am currently working on as well lately..
