What has been on my mind lately?
Sizzle, Spice, and SidewalksDoes your partner ever ask, "Why are you so sensitive?" or "Why does this bother you so much?" đ¤ If you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), your brain processes emotional and sensory data more deeply than most. This can lead to incredible intimacy, but it can also lead to burnout if you don't have the right strategies.

ikuoSometimes when I try to build an IRL relationship, I'm reminded why I prefer hermitude.
It goes like this: I feel comfy w/ someone so I open up about something - could be personal, could be societal - expecting agreement or at least understanding in response. Instead, their thinking is totally orthogonal to mine & they make me feel like a weirdo.
It's not the actual disagreement that bugs me, but my misjudgment of what the other would think.

FurtheringThis most recent notebook I've dedicated to "Things I Detest" a la Nabokov, who cheerily shares some of what he detests in a 1965 interview at around the 17:56 mark.
When he lists different types of music (inflicted music, next-room music, portable music), I never related to anything so much in my life.
And I thought . . . well, you don't have a to be a literary genius to compile a notebook of things that you detest.
And I've done this before -- as a highly sensitive person, it's cathartic to write about that which causes discomfort.
But I'll probably also start a notebook listing things that I love.
So far, my list includes "appliances that beep," "when it rains, but not enough to justify an umbrella," and "being in-between books."
Mx Verda... Huh. https://depressioneducation.org/mood-spectrum-mood-swings-without-mania/
This makes sense. We don't have one single "mood hormone" or even receptor type in cells, so why would we have one single "correct" mood set? https://depressioneducation.org/depression-section-page-1/the-dsm-rules-for-psych-diagnosis/
... Psychiatryst, lol. That needs to be an ERP game or something. And psychologussy. I should be sorry but I'm so not.

I think this really hit close to home for me. Less practical advice for how to live and adapt in relationships if youâre a âhighly sensitive personâ. There was also some interesting discussion on gender roles and sensitivity and how a âhighly sensitive maleâ (HSM) feels less than manly in our culture and âŚ. Yeah i have to think about that a lot and my ideas around my own gender and transitioning.

Parnuuna | Feel Good Rebel â¨Ever feel like youâre doing all the right thingsâŚ
but you still end the day feeling wrung out?
Snappy. Drained. Like your soul needs a nap?
It might not be because youâre lazy or broken or bad at life.
It might just be this:
Youâre leaking energy.
Invisible ways you abandon yourself just to keep the peace.
To avoid conflict.
To be understood.
To feel âenough.â
But what if you didnât have to keep proving your worth through exhaustion?
What if rest wasnât a reward - but a right?
Inside this post, Iâm walking you through 5 signs of energy leakage
and giving you one small, rebellious action to try today.
You donât need to change your whole life overnight.
But you do get to take your power back, one drop at a time.
Breathe. Swipe. Reclaim your energy.
You deserve to feel like yourself again.
đ P.S. If this resonates, youâre exactly who I made Worthy & Rising for - my free community for rebels who are done with self-abandonment, and ready to rise into rhythm, rest, and real connection.
Come join us. You belong there.

magpieI just found out about Highly Sensitive People and I totally relate. My skin is sensitive- Iâm allergic to fragrances and acne-prone. My eyes are sensitive- almost always wearing sunglasses. My hearing is sensitive- live music and other loud sounds are not pleasurable.
This also led me to self identifying as an âempathâ, which sounds cooler than it is. It should really be called hyper-empathy syndrome, as described in the book, The Parable of the Sower.
Anyone else relate?

Highly Sensitive Person
Highly Sensitive Person, or HSP, is a term coined by psychologist Elaine Aron. According to Aronâs theory, HSPs are a subset of the population who are high in a personality trait known as sensory-processing sensitivity, or SPS. Those with high levels of SPS display increased emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to both external and internal stimuliâpain, hunger, light, and noiseâand a complex inner life.
