In general, highly sensitive people tend:

  1. To be more sensitive to sights, smells, sounds, tastes and smells
  2. To be philosophical and more in touch with their spirituality
  3. To feel highly uncomfortable when being observed (e.g. by a teacher, a boss, during recitals and performances etc.)
  4. To have vivid dreams which they remember in great detail
  5. To have a deep appreciation for beauty, art and nature
  6. To be good readers of others, and of non-verbal cues
  7. To experience very powerful and intense emotions
  8. To find it difficult to rebound from strong feelings and emotions
  9. To be highly empathic and sensitive to others’ feelings
  10. To be hard on themselves, and unforgiving of mistakes.

  11. Read this the other day, someplace else and realized AGAIN I am highly sensitive. For some reason, though it felt like a good thing for the first time and not a rebuttal from someone who says “you’re too sensitive”. We pay attention more, care more…I find myself yearning to be even more sensitive.

  15. Wow – I just started reading “The Highly Sensitive Person” by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. Strange how life takes you to places you need to go. Now I need to read your blog 😀

  16. Eight out of ten of these statements fit me perfectly. Not 3 or 10. As to my mistakes, I like to say that I learn from them, and I am getting to be SO smart. I’ve learned to laugh at myself.
