#highlysensitiveperson — Public Fediverse posts

I just found out about Highly Sensitive People and I totally relate. My skin is sensitive- I’m 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 ‘empath’, 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?
