I have heard that there is normal, neurotic, borderline, then psychotic.
I have thought about his too a lot.
I think HSP's are in the normal range but do overlap with neurotic like maybe the rituals we do to make ourselves comfortable, and the eccentric things we do. I have heard that neurotic isn't really that disturbed, a lot of people have neurotic tendencies, but as hsp's perhaps we are more aware of ours.

Perhaps the difference between us HSP's and the neurotics is that we recognize our behaviors within ourselves! Maybe that is what makes it so painful for us to be around someone who is really 'neurotic.'

I can relate to your article. I'm a Christian and a Highly sensitive person. I was going to this Christian for prayer and was told that me being a Highly Sensitive person is a lie created by satan. Can you believe that? Okay if it is by satan then why is it that we tend to feel empathy? I do not think something like that would come from satan? Why was I so sick from depression when I was sharing on google+ the things going on in the world. I had no idea I was a Sensitive back then. But cause of the suffering that I was sharing I hit rock bottom with depression. My own son told me mom when you were sharing things of the world on Google+ you were a emotional wreck. I used to smoke cigarette after cigarette when that was going on. I had this thing I guess you would call it negative that Cigarettes relieved my stress. Regardless as a Child I was abused so that makes me according to Elaine N. Aron that I get depression and anxiety easy. But I was talking to this Christian on google hangouts the one like Skype. He is from Sweden. Lucky I had my hat on or he would have seen the tears coming down. I even lied and told him Louie is calling me to go to the store. So what am i? That satan leading me to lies. For a long time after he prayed for me not to be sensitive and for the devil to flee I felt some how he took a part of me. For a while I could look up suffering and not feel any empathy. I prayed to God and told Him that he took something from me and I wanted it back. Today I'm my own self. Considering God was the one who lead me to a article on Highly Sensitive people right after I asked Him why I could not control my Crying. I guess we are considered outsiders to everyone else right? Like something is not right with us in our heads. I was going to Church but it got really overwhelming to me. My Christian friend Rosie told me she knew I was a Highly sensitive person before I even knew. I wonder why she did not tell me. Never mind I would rather be here in my room with God than someone who does not understand the concept of Highly sensitive person. At Least He understands.

Awwww.....Yes He does! I am also a Christian HSP and I have to say my relationship with the Lord is what saves me many times through prayer, meditation and listening to beautiful music especially. I do think though, that if any of the HSP traits are getting out of hand, such as crying too much, then yes, you need to ask the Lord for help with this! (or talk to a therapist if it is really getting out of hand). The enemy can take all our wonderful positive traits and try to turn them into a liability. Once you start to listen to that little negative voice in your head saying things like, oh you are such a big mess, you are not normal, normal people don't cry like this....or whatever that negative voice is saying, you have to jolt yourself out of it and realise where this is leading. But to say that the HSP traits are some sort of attack from satan, well that is just wrong! That said, you have a responsibility to take good care of yourself and if that means not following all the latest bad news in the world, then so be it. I can only handle so much, but I do want to stay informed, so I just take it in small doses. I also listen to those who have some sort of balance to their opinions, and are not jumping on the fear bandwagon. If you find yourself getting fearful you need to pay attention and not let that emotion take over, but realise what it is. Fear in not of the Lord! I want to be the best version of myself in this day and age, so I make sure that I am doing my best to be my best HSP self! Caring for others, showing compassion, kindness and doing whatever I can to lift others up works wonders. Know your limits though! You do no good for anybody by being overly empathetic, or over-caring to the point that you burn out. It's a matter of having balance in every area of your life. Some of best doctors, psychologists, therapists and others in the caring professions are HSPs, so keep that in mind if anybody tries to tell you this personality trait is from satan....its a personality trait not a mental illness!

Jesus is a sensitive, he needed lots of time alone in the wild to manage himself, i dont think hsp has anything to do with satan
