Has anyone ever heard of HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)?
I think this is me. I read through a ton of info on it, and I'm almost positive that I am a highly sensitive person. Which is maybe what I am trying to 'label' for myself, some explanation for how I feel all the time.
I'm easily overwhelmed, overstimulated. I crave quiet, when I'm alone, I don't turn on the TV, radio, nothing that makes noise. Im exhausted by the end of the day. I can usually tell when something is wrong with someone and I'm usually right. I have very vivid dreams and a sense of de'ja vous often, I get short lived aches & pains in different areas of my body, I cut people out of my life who make me feel icky (they turned out to be 'unhealthy' people and toxic to me), I totally can't stand clutter, fussy decorations in the house, I want clean counters, clean lines when decorating, symmetrical, I have stomach aches all the time, I have mood swings and hate being asked 20 questions in a row.
Anyways, to me, this is a prime example of a 'label' when it's not a condition, being highly sensitive is WHO you are. It comes with traits of it's own.
No one is here to judge anyone else. You know the old sayin' "Don't pass judgement until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes"
