Highly Sensitive

[Bluerose31]

There is a term called "highly sensitive" about people who are highly sensitive, coined by Dr.Elaine Aron. I am highly sensitive and it has helped me to know I am highly sensitive. Here are some descriptions:
The Highly Sensitive Person –

Is this you?

• Are you easily overwhelmed by such things as bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens nearby?
• Do you get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short amount of time?
• Do you make a point of avoiding violent movies and TV shows?
• Do you need to withdraw during busy days, into bed or a darkened room or some other place where you can have privacy and relief from the situation?
• Do you make it a high priority to arrange your life to avoid upsetting or overwhelming situations?
• Do you notice or enjoy delicate or fine scents, tastes, sounds, or works of art?
• Do you have a rich and complex inner life?
• When you were a child, did your parents or teachers see you as sensitive or shy?

Does anyone else consider themselves highly sensitive?

I found a great site for Highly Sensitive Christians

Yeah I have a good bit of these too,,,maybe that's why I'm so anxious,,but I still don't think I'm highly sensitive though.

Very sensitive indeed. I am very affected by people and crowds and have learned over the years how to maintain a balance so I'm not overwhelmed and how to ready myself for public socializing.
I don't consider myself abnormal, I just function as I was created to and don't compare myself to others.
