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...
I was doing so well, and I am starting to become an angry, pissed off, exhausted, and lonely HSP. then HSP has me in it's claws.
I cannot even get out to a coffee shop and colour in my wonderful colouring book.
I have many friends, but when I get to be in a HS space, I cannot call them.
m I scared, absolutely. I don't think I can weather another round of this. wll I guess I will have to, but so worried it is here to stay.
I put in a call to my great shrink. I am always calling her. I hate myself for this. she will call back probably. and she used to return my calls on the w/e but no longer does this.
I am the epitome of "ye of little faith" I feel better, but just when I start believing it's going to be OK, I turning into a very HSP. tears, tears

But there are some exercises which help:
- writing: what you feel, what you think. And don't hesitate to read yourself again and again.
- Targets/goals in life: What are your targets in life ?
- Write everything bothering you and start working on it, that's your only choice
- think positive
I found a guy on youtube who explains very well HSP and the way we think.
I give you the link but unfortunately it is in french:

Hops, valerian, gentian...
I am giving you an example of my current situation:
I miss one thing in my life currently, it is love.
How can you work on that ?
- Keep working and studying to get a better wage and when you will have a girlfriend/family, that's one problem you can remove: money
- Do sport: improve your health and your body appearence
- You have glasses: try contact lenses
- you have a poor haircut : get an haircut
- You have spots: find a treatment which will work
- Your clothes are old: renew them or change your style ( I am often thinking comfort first, but I notice wearing a suit everyday when I go to work is giving me confidence and happiness, because I am not wondering if other people think i am well dressed or not)
- Be carefull to your hygiene
unfotunately, what I cannot do due to HSP:
- dating : it is a real pain in the ass, having to talk to someone you don't know...no way
- getting too close from girls (very important in seduction...)
So write each one of your problems, know what you are able to do and what you are not, and find a solution.
Your feeling will always get in the way anyway, you will always have ups and downs or mood swings...
Lonely you will probably be all your life, It is hard, we are different.
i am also struggling with this part, but I have to say, even if it is hard, it is still easier to have less problems.
I am quite down for some weeks now, sometimes I have sudden ups, i did some important change in my life a week ago, and now it is not better, but i am starting sport again, eating properly again, working on myself, improving very slowly but improving.
Hope it helps !
Damn!! You have a lot of wisdom for someone your age! Lol. Great reply!!
I actually don't like suffering and not knowing why. At least knowing why allows me to have a chance to find a solution. While I am looking for a solution, I don't think about the suffering. So, I am always looking for a solution.
