Highly Sensitive People

Introverted, deep thinking, empathetic people are the blessed ones.

Highly Sensitive People

The highly sensitive will tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk.

They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly and can frequently recall their dreams the next day.

They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally powerful emotions—sometimes acute bouts of joy but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear.

Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments, both physical and emotional—unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss—another person's shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.

They feel as if feelings are a distinct language.

I'm from Italy and enjoy writing. Being a storyteller by nature, I've entertained (and annoyed) people with my “expositions” since I was a child, showing everyone my primitive drawings, doodles, and poems. Still do.
