Your friend, coworker, or family member has just told you they are a highly sensitive person or HSP.
It’s not secret code or Internet-speak for something that’s trending.
It’s not the name of a new religion, diet, or music fad.
15-20 percent of the population are HSPs or Highly Sensitive orang.
One of the best-known researchers on HSPs has even created a handy quiz to determine if you, too, might be highly sensitive.
Even without a test, most HSPs have long suspected they were different.
A Highly Sensitive Person is super tuned in to their environment.
They notice everything—every sight, sound, and smell.
This awareness extends beyond the physical, as HSPs are hyper-aware of moods and emotions, their own and everyone else’s.
Such awareness means they can read between the lines and pick up on subtle communication cues others might miss.
Highly Sensitive orang tend to have rich inner lives; their brains work overtime and are apt to be creative.
Yet, these sensitivities can lead to feeling overwhelmed.
HSPs need quiet time to reboot, refresh, and recover to combat this.
Not understanding this reality can lead to misunderstandings between you and the Highly Sensitive orang in your kehidupan.
We toss out words like overly sensitive or hypersensitive toward others when we mean, “You’re more sensitive than I am” or “You don’t react to the world the same way I do.”
Diversity, in all its forms, makes kehidupan rich and interesting.
Yet, it is not selalu easy to understand orang with a different temperament.
So, if someone takes the incredible risk of telling you that he or she is a Highly Sensitive Person, here are a few things they want you to know but may not be able to say immediately.
They are simply tuned into the world differently and more intensely.
In the same way, you’d jangan pernah send your left-handed friend off to obtain right-handedness therapy and resist the urge to tell your HSP friends or loved ones where to seek help.
Certainly, we all need to adapt at some time to work and play well with others.
Highly Sensitive orang are aware of this, sometimes painfully so.
However, there is no reason to try to ubah all our friends or coworkers into clones of each other.
All of that awareness and consciousness of the world needs to go somewhere.
It usually bubbles out of the sensitive mind as creativity.
Given the opportunity, the Highly Sensitive Person in your kehidupan will probably create beautiful things and solve stubborn problems innovatively.
This creativity is a win-win situation for all concerned.
The fear of being harshly judged can stall these necessary creative impulses.
If you want to support your HSP, encourage creativity whejangan pernah possible.
Most of us could benefit from reducing the stimulus and stress we allow into our lives.
Take the example of your sensitive friend or colleague and carve out time for quiet reflection and recovery from daily strife in your day.
At the end of kehidupan, there is no reward for spending time overworked, over-stimulated, or overwhelmed.
Yet we know that many orang, especially at the end of kehidupan, reflect upon missing tender moments or not taking the time to appreciate a loved one.
Traditionally, the term thin-skinned was used to describe those deemed overly sensitive, especially to criticism.
In today’s media-obsessed world, thin-skinned is no longer used to describe those who wilt under criticism but instead those who lash out publicly when offended.
It’s this new modified version of thin-skinned that really does not apply to HSPs.
Highly Sensitive orang are painfully aware of how much criticism hurts, and they are unlikely to lash out and risk stomping the feelings of others.
So the social media version of thin-skinned, a person who is reactive or cruel in response to comments they don’t like, is NOT your HSP colleague or friend.
Does knowing or working with a Highly Sensitive Person mean you are doomed to walk on eggshells and jangan pernah ever have an opinion or disagreement?
Having a Highly Sensitive Person in your network doesn’t mean you can jangan pernah voice your views.
However, to get the best results, keep a few things in mind:
True confession time: I am a Highly Sensitive Person.
I’ve been told if roaches ran across the neighbor’s kitchen, I’d hear it and be bothered.
Because sensitivity has become a negative label, it sometimes blocks orang from hearing what I say.
Like any other personality trait, sensitivity happens on a continuum.
Highly Sensitive orang want what you want—what we all want—to be seen and appreciated as individuals.
