Hi everyone, I would say that I definitely fit into the Highly Sensitive category. It is often a blessing but sometimes it is also a stumbling block. I feel things very deeply and am very emphathetic, I pick up on emotions and am pretty good at reading people. All of these things are very good. On the flip side though, I get my feelings hurt easily and take things very personally. A comment that most people would be able to shrug off will weigh on my spirit heavily and possibly for days and days.

Because I am so empathetic, I often want to give people the benefit of the doubt. I am very open and very considerate of other people's feelings and when I don't get that in return I am very hurt. I went through a really bad experience with people who I trusted and thought were my friends about a year and a half ago and now I wonder if I will ever trust anyone again. I feel I have to guard my heart so closely now and in doing that I can't be myself anymore. It saddens me because I love having friends and feel that I have so much that I love to do for my friends and right now I have no one to do that stuff for.

My heart breaks when I see people in pain and I want to help people that I see hurting in any way that I can. My husband thinks I am the most special person in the world for how I treat other people and that I am truly a one of a kind. I have a really hard time accepting this as I don't understand why everyone doesn't want to do things for other people. To admit that I am special in this way would mean that most people are not and that makes me very sad. I can grasp the concept of why someone would be mean to someone else intellectually of course, but my spirit can't comprehend why people treat one another the way they do.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am right there with all of you. I think someone mentioned a book earlier, "The Highly Sensitive Person". I read it a few years ago and I am thinking of reading it again. It's a pretty good book and can help give you some insight on how to deal with being highly sensitive.

It is hard sometimes being sensitive like I am........ESPECAILLY durning my PMS And hunny let me tell ya I am SOOOOO glad that my period is to start tomorrow.
I do not have I guess you could a warm family like I once did when I was VERY VERY young. My boss is ummmmmmmm....well I think that you get the point. It is hard for me.....I so much desire to be dead! I want to be with JESUS SO BAD..... JUST TO LAY IN HIS LAP and have him tell me that I am HIS and He always loved me. Just to feel his warmth....NO BLANKET HOT SHOWER OR ANYTHING....... JESUS would be SOOOOOOOOOOO warm that I would not feel ANY PAIN!!!!!! It hurts when you are CONSTENTLY rejected!!!
I think that I should be with Him and this is why..... I HAVE NO strings attached here!!!!!....
NO BOYFRIEND, NOT A GOOD JOB, AND MY MOTHER HATES ME, My father is a DREAMER and I only have 2 friends....HECK the only reason I got a CELL phone is my roommates car is NOW pushing 70k miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, on a happier note I AM SOOOO glad that you are here dear one!!! God bless you so much!!!!!!!

This described me better than I could have described myself. Hope you guys have room for one more.

Welcome.. It is good to have you here.
I am very sensitve but I also don't cry a lot, I get depressed and angry. A hostile feeling rises inside of me but nothing goes outside . It is all internal, I try to live normally,hiding it from everybody. It's the way I found to do not get crazy in this world. I do not get more sensitive with the age, I get more sic. I hold all my feelings for me, then it consumes me from the inside. I can't sleep at night just thinking in what happened in the day, terrible headaches and stomachal disfunctions gets only worse.

It is strange. Perhaps you guys have never seen somebody like me.
But I know that Jesus will help me... someday He will.

God Bless You All!!

i would like to recomend a great book from the secular market,,

it is called -the highly sensitive person-,,it made me realize i am not a freak!!!

That book (the Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron) changed my life. It made me realize why I was different, and that being this way is normal! I re-read it every year or so, just to remind me. It has been a wonderful blessing to me.

I am wondering, how does your sensitivity manifest itself? Are you all just emotionally sensitive, or is your nervous system sensitive to all kinds of stimulus like loud noises, bright lights, etc.?

Has anyone taken Elaine Aron's self-test? http://www.hsperson.com/pages/test.htm

I am not as emotionally sensitive as I used to be (meaning I don't get my feelings hurt as often I used to, but I used to be extremely sensitive in that way when I was a kid), but I am very sensitive to stimulus, such as loud noises, bad smells, general chaos, etc. I am also very empathetic and feel others' pain to the point where it's overwhelming. I am also socially awkward at times, getting nervous in crowds and not being being to articulate things very well in social situations. I also need a lot of sleep and a lot of alone time to recharge.

I read the book too. Like you it has helped me as well to realize that there are others like me. I am getting somewhat better with my sensitivity BUT I must credit that to Jesus for leading me to my Christian counselor and my Christian dr. who has prescribed my medication for my anxiety! I am SOOOO like you with not liking the social situations as much and getting nervous around crowds. I do NEED my sleep especailly on a day like today.......BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!! And I need my alone time as well! I do NOT like pain either it "throws me off".

Hang in there dear friend!!! My pop is the same way telling me that I have to get thick skin and all. I know that it is AWFULLY tough when you are as sesitive as I! I try to pray to God cause remember when your mother was pregnant with you God was busy creating the you that you are today. Just imagine that....When your mother was walking sleeping singing doing the laundary ect while she was pregnant with you God was EVER so busy creating you so this is why I URGE you to go to Him...he knows you. See last week I had ANOTHER break down and I did not give it to God in which I should have. the STUPID devel knows our weeknesses BUT arm yourself with the word of God.....when you are feeling blue just find a quiet place HECK it may have to be in the bathroom but ANYWHERE and bring the Bible and read.....read how you are feeling and read about God's love for you dear one!!! I will ALWAYS pray for you.....God bless you and PLEASE be at peace my friend!!!!!!

Greetings ~*{Babydoll}*~!!!
Welcome to the club!!!
I am SOOOOOOOOO like you seeing that I do get my feelings hurt very very easily ...Here is a prime example....
Yesterday my roommate and I was in this shop buying some scarfs for my hat just so I do NOT get sunburned when I go to Florida. Well AS SOON as my roommate (NewLight04) & I walked to the register to pay for the scarfs. The associate looked right at us and looked at her co-worker and said "Oh...I have GOT to tell you something"....
Then looked right back at us. WELL.....I got so upset, that right after the transaction I looked at my roommate and said REALLY loud...OH I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING...and laughed and laughed....VERY VERY loud....I know that is NOT very Christian like...BUT I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE LAUGHING AT ME............!!!!!!!!!!
So ANYWAY that is just one example how my feelings get hurt so gosh darn easily!!!
WELCOME...and God bless you my friend!!!

thank you for the warm welcome!

 

[TheSensitive1]

See I am SOOOOO sensitive to the whole convenience thing...because that is the way that my parents treat me. WHEN SOMETHING BETTER comes along they kinda forget me!...It makes me feel like crying....I can only go over there when it is a holiday and when I ask to see them on a regular time (like my fathers birthday) it is like my dad comes up with these STUPID excuses and all!!! I know that he lies he tells me about alot of excuses that he uses. I HATE LYING! Anyway when I was younger I was the one that everyone would call or hang out with when they were BOARD. It is SOOOOO gosh darn sad how that is!!!!.
This is why I am SOOOO attached to newlight and my guardian angel. BUT MOSTLY Jesus. Think about it...here is someone who is VERY busy the most busy than all of us and he STILL makes time for me!!!! I love Him so!!!! He will never just "put me off" just to do something "better"!
This is why I trust Jesus 100% and REALLY can NOT wait to be with him!!!!!!
