Understanding Highly Sensitive People (HSP's)
You may be wondering just what is this group of people that are referred to as highly sensitive. We are not talking about a touching movie moment that seems to coincide with your partner getting 'something in my eye'. Even though they may be somewhat sensitive, the sensitivity meter does not end there. Shyness is a common trait amongst Highly Sensitive People (HSP's). Being around people is something that HSP's find difficult to deal with, especially when they are around people for an extended length of time. They are overwhelmed by external stimuli such as crowds of people or loud noise. Taking in or responding to this mass of information quickly exhausts them, and they then need to be alone, to recover from this sensory overload. The taking in and processing of this stimuli is largely unconscious. It is easy to see why they can sometimes be labelled as 'withdrawn' because that is exactly what they need to do in order to recover from the external stimuli that overwhelms there senses. HSP's are very observant and highly aware the external environment around them.
