Are you A Highly Sensitive Person?

[Emmalevine]

Yes highly sensitive, prone to migraine, gastritis and a million other things. I have long term health issues made significantly worse by any kind of stress.

[cdoliveira]

True, I have gastritis too.

You're looking at one.

My sensitivity levels are way through the roof and it's only gotten worse since my awakening.

I can't even stand being touched now, well...I can stand it, but it's so ticklish! my whole body is so ticklish! I'm laughing in the shower now, OMG!

Not to mention, I tried other things to see how sensitive I actually was now...screamed the house down.

Smells smell so smelly! My dear god...walk into KFC or Maccas...run out throwing up.

I can hear other people breathe from like 2 ft away...

Yeah, an aspie has a spiritual awakening...OMG...you just don't play fair, do you? LOL

Yes, some people are very sensitive. I can see it in their chart. I am very sensitive but fortunately I don't have horrible physical symptoms. The thing I have to be careful about is medication. I might have weird side effects that aren't supposed to occur, but they might with me.

The sensitivity factor is true in all ways. We're chemically sensitive and also sensitive to psychic input. We feel things that other people don't and have more awareness. We are receptive to any kind of input. How that manifests is different for everyone. I just look for the signs of 'sensitive individuals' because a dense and insensitive person is more difficult to work with.

Being 'sensitive' doesn't mean you necessarily have to suffer. There are ways to set up barriers.

Bye the way, menopause is hell. I am sure it is worse for some people then others but I had a hard time with it and I don't appreciate the changes.

I don't buy some people are more sensitive than others.

Just sounds like some philosophy that elevates oneself over others.

[Rozie]

@Kundalinikid...It's not a 'better' thing, it just is. Nobody is better or elevated over anybody else. We all have our jobs to do, or what we do well. Some people are great at fixing things and other people are more intellectual but neither one is 'better' then the other. There is no such thing as a person who is 'better' then anyone else. We have different talents, gifts, and experience and putting down another person is what you just did. That is 'elevating' yourself over others, which is kind of hippocritical if you think about it.

A vegetarian/vegan diet makes you way more sensitive then when you are on a meat based diet.
