Highly Sensitive People HSP Community Group
The highly sensitive person (or HSP) is someone who cares deeply about everything ... feels emotions with great intensity ... is highly conscientious ... has a rich and complex inner life ... is very intuitive ... is often creative in a variety of ways... is easily overwhelmed and/or overstimulated. A HSP needs lots of quiet time,space, and freedom. If this sounds...

They may be Highly Sensitive People, or HSP, the 15 to 20 percent of the population who are very bright and creative with a finer-tuned nervous system. Click here to see if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person. As I say, “they have an on-going tug-of-war between their head and their heart.” They process incoming information and subtleties in their environment, including sight, sound, touch, taste and smell, more
deeply than the non-highly sensitive person, the “other” 80 percent of the population. The trait of high sensitivity has both a psychological and physiological basis.
Some of the diverse group of “famous” individuals that — in my opinion — might appropriately belong on the list of those who exhibit the characteristics of high sensitivity would include the likes of: Albert Einstein, Carl Jung and Charles Darwin, to political leaders: Abraham Lincoln, Harry S. Truman, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Gandhi, Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt and Princess Diana. Highly sensitive scientists and inventors include: Sir Isaac Newton, Thomas Alva Edison and naturalist Jane Goodall.
As I say in my talks on the trait of high sensitivity “HSP doesn’t always equal nice.” Darker HSPs include: Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden …
Of course, many actors and actresses exude HSP traits including: Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy and Judy Garland, to today’s celebrities such as Mandy Moore, Adrien Brody, Glenn Close, Eddie Murphy, Joaquin Phoenix, Nicole Kidman, Kevin Kline, Winona Ryder and Elijah Wood, to name a few.
The list of “famous HSPs” would also include many comedians including: Woody Allen, Jim Carrey, Steve Martin and Mel Brooks. The “King of Late Night” Johnny Carson was in total control during his show – but once he stepped away from the spotlight he was shy, caught off guard, and more like a deer with his eyes caught in the headlights. I worked with Orson Welle
s (HSP) for many years on the Paul Masson “We will sell no wine before its time” campaign. One day, going to a recording session, as Orson was getting out of the limo a homeless guy rushed up to him unexpectedly – and it took about a half hour for Mr. Welles to regained his composure and be able to work.
Famous writers on the list might include: Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, William Butler Yeats, Virginia Woolf, E.E. Cummings, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Kahlil Gibran, D.H. Lawrence, Henry David Thoreau, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Tennessee Williams, to Deepak Chopra, Dr. Pat Allen and Judith Orloff.
Highly sensitive artists include: Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Georgia O’Keefe, Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Frank Lloyd Wright, among many others.

I found it interesting in the paragraph about Johnny Carson - 'he was in total control during his show' - that seems to be me. When I can control some sort of an interaction, etc. I am fine. It's not that I am a control freak, believe me - I am not. When I sit with a group and feel that I can have no sort of input/control, then I am 'lost.' I think this feeling of being in control is comforting because we can keep things well within our own 'comfort zone.' And, this 'comfort zone' is just that - comfortable, with no yelling, screaming, anger, hatred, etc. It's just a nice place to be.
Hugs to all...
Would any of you consider President Obama an HSP? I think that some of the things that he is trying to do indicate a person who puts a great deal of thought into his actions/reactions, etc. - especially after the Tuscon shooting. He appears to be someone who wants to unite rather than divide, although with politics, that seems to be an awkward combination!
