Read more about HSPs here.
HSPs have the innate trait of high psychological sensitivity. It isn’t just about being shy (30% of HSPs are extroverts), but you are highly sensitive and can be easily overwhelmed, and sometimes you need to have time alone. Other peoples’ moods affect you, and you pick up on subtle details.
I’m a HSP, and I know I come off as being overdramatic at times, but sometimes I really can’t help it. :( I am extremely sensitive, and while it’s annoying most of the time, it can be helpful and interesting too.Being highly sensitive is NOT a disorder or medical condition, but more of a trait.
