Hi Friend,
Did you know that Highly Sensitive People or HSP's are estimated to make up 15 to 20% of the population and the HSP personality trait was first researched by Elaine N. Aron, Phd in the early 1990's.
Being an HSP is often correlated with identifying as an introvert and though not all HSP's are introverted personality types, all HSP's share very similar traits and have very similar experiences.
In general HSP's tend to be very sensitive and attuned to the emotions of others, notice the small changes that other people miss like your new hair cut or shoes and can "read the room" very quickly. HSP's are very sensitive to texture, smells, lights, sounds and environment.
If you are a HSP like me, then as a child people probably described you as "shy" and you felt like you could feel of the pain of the world weighing you down.
If you can relate to this Friend, then this blog post is for you.

If you want to see the Facebook Live video I did about it this morning, you can watch that over on my YouTube channel.
