Just learned I was a HSP and my whole world seems more “righted.” Never knew this category existed, just felt different and more sensitive than others. Became an overachiever because I always thought I was a failure.

Funny, how one can use such a view of themselves. I guess I was lucky. I learned about it on turning age 61. Some people may never find out until they die.

I am grateful for this knowledge and I want to help others realize it too.

Hi, Laura.

I’m glad you discovered Dr. Aron’s book. I am currently working on a new online community and magazine for HSPs that we hope will provide insight and inspiration by showing the upside of being highly sensitive.

The site and magazine celebrate all that HSPs have to offer due to their sensitivity, insight, and creativeness. Check us out at tribe.paramimedia.com

Peace. Live happy!

Thanks Peter.

Being highly sensitive certainly has its up and down sides. I’m just glad Mike and I can make allowances for our various sensitivities and, in this way, keep from driving each other nuts. Life is always a challenge!

Cheers,
Laura Lee

Nice to see someone else writing about being an HSP!

I’ve been “on the path” as an HSP since 1997, and it’s fascinating both how similar HSPs are, while at the same time we can experience our sensitivity in so many different ways.

Very cool that you’re married to a fellow sensitive!

Blessings,
Peter

Hi Maggie:

Good to hear from you! Still considering starting a midlife-focused online magazine.
If we do, would you be willing to write for us sometimes? I love your writing and your ideas!

Cheers,
Laura Lee

Hi Laura – I always love reading your posts. I too am an HSP and it explains so many of my “quirks.” My husband is not, (an HSP) so it helped us both when I came upon Elaine Arons’ book. He now doesn’t take it personally when I ask him when his next trip out of town might be (I need that alone time!) and I don’t look upon his need to turn the tv on loudly as some sort of affront to my peace of mind. He guzzles red wine and coffee, I love fizzy water and green tea.

Thanks for bringing this to the forefront. Knowng it also helped me understand my pull to write my book – it gave me a legitimate reason to spend a lot of alone time! (and thanks for the wonderful words you shared about Amazing Grays – I appreciate your enthusiasm.)

Hello Carol:

Glad you’re enjoying my blog! It’s become a bit of an addiction for me with ever increasing readership!

I’m also a INFJ and just about any situation with large crowds and noise drives me nuts!

Take care,
Laura

Laura, You are always right on top of the current news, books, movies, etc.! As an INFJ I am also a sensitive person. I am in tune with others feelings, need a LOT of alone/quiet time, get overwhelmed by confusion/loud noise (my trip to Elitch Gardens wtih my grandson was almost traumatizing , think a lot in my head but have a hard time explaining my thoughts, etc, etc. I haven’t read the book, but it’s been popping up online in sites I’ve been surfing. Guess I’ll have to get it. Thanks for your blog, it’s always enlightening. Carol
