I can't recall now who originally posted this, but it's very interesting as well, and another reason to make us feel akin to one another....
The highly sensitive person is often said to be more aware or affected by sensory stimuli. See if you fit any of these criteria (I know I do!):
That which I'm affected by is listed afterwards, in red.
I am easily overwhelmed by strong sensory input.
Other people's moods affect me.
I find myself needing to withdraw during busy days,into bed or into a darkened room or any place where I can have some privacy and relief from stimulation.
I am made uncomfortable by loud noises.
I startle easily.
My nervous system sometimes feels so frazzled that I just have to go off by myself.
I make a point to avoid violent movies and TV shows.
I am bothered by intense stimuli, like loud noises or chaotic scenes.
When I was a child, my parents or teachers seemed to see me as sensitive or shy.
I am easily overwhelmed by strong sensory input.(things like strobe lights or BIRDS chirping at 4 AM make me MENTAL.)
Other people's moods affect me. (I'm a mood stealer! I know others feelings often before they do themselves.)
I am bothered by intense stimuli, like loud noises or chaotic scenes.(people arguing make me want to throw up or nervous poop)
I startle easily. (uh, TOTALLY!)
I am made uncomfortable by loud noises.(depends-I teach, so loud kids, no. Loud adults who yell across a room really stress me out. teenagers too!LOL! But I used to be the loud one.)
When I was a child, my parents or teachers seemed to see me as sensitive. (I was never shy, well...now moreso than ever before. sensitive? Cry at the drop of a hat? Easily made worried? Yep.)
Do you see yourself in any of this, esp. new ppl who haven't seen this?? It was almost freaky to first read this...Lightbulb moment!
