scored full points on the HSP test and am also an INFP.... sensitive to peoples emotions and energies in general, sounds, touch, smells... Dont like to think it is or I am special though, feel very ordinary in every aspect of being.
I've always been creative, got in trouble for dreaming all the time at school, kind of an escape, I think. I would concentrate on one thing and drift off; at all borderless and indefinable. The world doesn't take kindly to people not of this world. True consciousness became an affront.. I've always been this way I think. I've seen a psychiatrist who thought I might do well attending a group programme for people intensely stimulated; as it stands I can barely interract with people.
I've just recently found out about this. I thought social anxiety explained the symptoms well, and it does, but I've talked to people with the disorder, few, if any of them describe this frenetic disposition I experience. This close to passing out and constantly behaving with an intent to escape a murder. Do you get help from anywhere else for this heightned anxious disposition?
How do you deal with this? I've always been this way. I think people of this disposition have a tendency to feel more guilt than others, as all sensations incessantly scream. I've been reading Nietzsche's works which helped to throw back that impression, I felt like I'd found someoen who understood. I feel on edge almost all the time; reading a book I find myself shivvering. It really is a physical disposition. I barely socialise at all because of this, even with my wider family.
@fredbloggs02 Having read all of Nietzsche's works at least once [nearly 20 years ago now], I don't understand why he gave you that feeling. Its OK that you get that feeling from his his work, but he did not effect me like that. I think a lot of the fear is actually awareness of the danger of making mistakes in direct relation to funding: if you are strongly emotionallytached to someone who is often at you may pick up on their stress. When young it is normal to be sensitive.
@MiriamSPia How did you read Nietzsche, may I ask? You didn't read him some supermacist anti-semite did you? To me, he was a deeply self-oppressed soul trying to liberate himself, trapped within himself, searching for a cure. He was highly sensitive, I know that and that was his problem. He knew his disorder. Only characters of the Nietzschean disposition will understand NIetzsche I think. God was of his being it was of him to follow Wagner, Rousseau and all those he proffessed to hate.
@fredbloggs02 I read Nietzsche as part of my undergraduate work. I ended up with 2 degrees in philosophy; technically I'm only PD not MA, but its a political issue. Nietzsche was also a real lefty, as am I. Its not always easy. He did not have a disorder until later in life. He was brilliant and sensitive and unique. He was seeking to create a new path to spiritual attainment, that is certain.
@MiriamSPia In all honesty, I've never known anyone I could relate to so far as Nietzsche. He had that frenetic disposition capable of anything at any instant, reposed on the surface, deeply conflicted within. He didn't possess his conflict as he proffessed, it riddled him. hemorrhaging inhuman objectivity in moments to himself, so obviously, riddled with compassion and conscience. When I first read his main work "thus spoke Zarathustra"... I could breathe..as though I never had before.
@fredbloggs02 I have no idea where you got that impression of his character. I didn't really think about it. I have not read supplemental material about him myself, only his philsophical works but I did listen when the professor mentioned extra details about his personal life. Glad you like Thus Spoke Zarathusra - it is an excellent book. In fact, I have a German copy right in this room, its sitting on an altar.
@MiriamSPia So I think, his whole endeavour was to liberate Prometheus bound, those weren't his political views, or at least, none that he ever followed. I'd need to know how you read him to understand. I hear different people read into him differently, but I felt I'd found a friend and in the end, there is the distinction, I thought about his views as I followed myself with them, I grew with them.
@fredbloggs02 Truthfully, I don't know. I don't know how you mean about Prometheus bound...I mean, I know the myth. Prometheus represents technological powers to control nature, which is one of humanity's great strengths. The gods were said to have hated it at times because it made us so much more powerful than we are when kept in a purely natural state.
Hi and compliments on a wonderful video review. I, too, have read the book. I just finished reading it at my local Barnes & Noble's cafe tonight. I'd say that I have underlined, highlighted, or written notes on nearly every page. Being an ISTJ along with being highly sensitive ( scored a 19 on self test ) I found myself analyzing and re-reading parts with a new passion for having someone describe what has always made me different from others. I'll better pick a future mate, now, too!
(cont..) Now that I have more awareness, now, however I can embrace who I am naturally and be more empowered to thrive rather than feel limited or even like a victim. Thanks for doing your video...these kind of testimonials are so beneficial to people like us. Cheers.:)
Thanks so much for your video. I already knew I was HSP but just discovered I am INSP with some tendencies towards INSJ (meaning the percentage difference is not that great). Watching and listening to videos like yours is wonderfully validating and gives me a lot of hope towards a new sense of freedom. I spent so much of my life trying to repress these tendencies because of my upbringing that they were inappropriate, and so you can imagine the damage done there. (to be cont...)
I am also an INFP (The rarest type) & HSP. I have a theory...it seems we humans are naturally evolving towards higher sensitivity. This makes sense for self preservation and also the preservation of the planet. I feel lucky to be among this new humanity.
Thanks for sharing, you have friends everywhere :)
@imonlyanamatuer infp isn't the rarest, although they are among the rarest. the rarest are intps (the thinkers) intjs(the scientists) infjs (the protectors) and infps (The idealists). i'm also an infp :)
I was very sensitive as a child but due to certain social circumstances, I learned how to suppress my emotions. I could be angered to the point of wanting cause severe harm and not show it; however, it made me cold and it now takes a lot just to get me to "feel". The only things that instantly brings me joy are little children, cats, and people breaking taboos to be with someone and harming little children, bulling, and bigotry are some of the few things that instantly gets under my skin.
I'm an INFP and I've always felt like I was pretty sensitive not just emotionally, but intuitively and physically too. At school, the sound of a ton of voices talking all at once is chaotic and too high in energy and it makes me feel anxious. Really bright lights bother me too. I also get easily distracted.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm a info and really sensitive too. See if I can find this book. Bliss to find an infp on here who doesn't annoy me. All the ones I'm seeing seem really confident and excitable. You are placid. Thanks!
I am sure that this is not just to do with mind, i was reading an old book the other day and it was talking about the four different body types, and one of them was really sensitive, because of different nervous system. It was very interesting My body type was the sensitive type. And each different body type is suited for different things. Also astrologically, I am a Pisces, and we are known as a sensitive sign. Fascinating stuff.
Im INFJ. I read the authors website to and it sounded a bit like me. i do have experiences where lil things will through me off. when im in class taking a test. and people make noise it throws me off and i end up never finishing the test and getting bad grades
Hi nwalkerm, hello from an INTP. I am not kind of a highly sensitive person, rather a logically sensitive person, yet I admire the imagination and peaceful mind of you INFPs. In fact, I think INTPs have a lot in common with INFPs, particularly a peaceful and quite environment to work our mind. And yes I am usually misunderstood by people around me, thinking of me as some kind of "unrealistic" or "impractical". It is quite unfair.
I just discovered that "highly sensitive person" was an actual term and it blew my mind because I felt like everything I've ever dealt with in life, everything that I've thought was wrong with me, was explained in me being a HSP. I'm really happy you made this video because I feel less alone, considering most of my friends/people around me don't understand me. So thanks, and I wish you luck in life :)
I'm an INFP HSP too. Thank you for raising awareness about us. Every time someone talks about us openly, it is one more step toward creating a world where we will finally be understood and accepted, where instead of making things harder for us or trying to change us, people will begin to acknowledge us as having value.
I write poetry and am really good at writing and thinking, but when it comes to talking i find it difficult to get the beautiful thoughts in my head out properly, although you struggle with talking are you much better at writing, like as in writing to people online ? As in having written conversations.
I'm an INFP, HSP, and also ADHD...and sometimes I'm just honestly confused how I can live in this sort of "different" world..sometimes I do feel like I don't belong in this real world, and perhaps belong to another world... it's hard living like this, seriously..in terms of relationship, finding job/career, pleasing society & parents' expectations, etc etc... :(
Hi, I'm an older person, and am sensitive to noise, and to other people's emotions. There are some people who I can't handle being around....like people who are loud, negative, mean, critical, etc. My Dad was an alcoholic, and he had depression. He passed away not long ago. I've struggled with depression most of my life.
I used to be an HSP, but over time I was able to suppress it. Of course my mentally ill father destroyed my life, but it made me completely opposite of what I used to be. The problem with HSPs is that we are much more susceptible to mental illness ranging from clinical (like depression) to personality (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) than non-HSPs. HSPs are empathetic, but can be hyper sensitive on criticism.
@jpzxcvbnm I am really sensitive to other peoples emotions also jpzxcvbnm, i feel really uncomfortable when in a room with somebody shouting and angry.
For whatever it's worth, you strike me way more as an INTP. I am studying MBTI and examining youtube videos of the various types. In my analysis, you are INTP. And your half-asleep philosophy rant video is further obvious proof that I am correct.
i agree it's harder for INFPs to deal with this type of thing..
i think you may have ADD- my mom is an INFP with (i'm 100%) undiagnosed ADD and she tends to find external things difficult to cope with cos she can't focus on what she's doing. i'm an ENFP with undiagnosed ADD (i sound like you when i talk about it too), but like i said i don't find it AS much of a problem because i can fit it in with an extroverted attitude which helps the condition greatly.
Thanks for posting. I just learned that I'm an INFP and after seeing this post, I'm pretty sure that I'm an HSP as well. I'll check out that book. It looks like it could really benefit me.
I just found out today that im a hsp.I always felt like there was something really wrong with me.I've always known that im alot more aware of my seroundings than other people.Alot of people seem very predictable to me and i feel like i can read people without them ever saying anything.But i didnt relize why i get overwhelmed around alot of people and why i always try to please everyone.I feel relieved in a way.
and if I felt someone was really into me and they were ACCEPTING of me and enthusiastic then I would feel more comfortable around them, although not entirely at the same time. What about you?
Its hard to explain, but maybe we are good at finding good people:)
always wished I had more friends and I could just communicate better.
IF you are really sensitive just don't care. Stick to YOU. And if people want to make fun of you then say something like (that is messed up) or just ignore them. If its something small just walk away and talk to them later, or say like "hey okay, not nice" but don't be too serious about it nobody is perfect :)
I've always had the problem too thinking that ppl don't like me over simple body expressions or sound of voice.. con't
I use to be really really REALLY SENSITIVE when I was younger. Like I would sit in class and think that people were laughing at me.. But I have dealt a lot with reality and been depressed and now I don't even notice a lot that is around me.
Its hard like I feel like I don't care about these things anymore most likely because I don't care about making friends anymore (since other stuff is going on).
I'm a little extraverted too sometimes though and I really do like nice people, and I always.con't
You have the ability to sense other peoples emotions. As in you can actually feel them. I dont like to be around people who are pacing myself. Im also an INFP
I'm an INTJ. Although my type is supposed to be very confident and not very emotional (I have been told I look ''unemotional'' to other people), I do have most of the symptoms of HSP. I don't think it correlates with ''feeling'' since that deals with judgement, rather than perception. I think HSP correlates with introversion and intuition (since intuitive people are less comfortable dealing with sensory information).
I definitely believe that introverts and feeling types are the most sensitive. There are too many INFP's that are sensitive for it to be a coincidence. Being sensitive is something that you can't just turn off, though you can learn to deal with it better with practice and understanding. It would be a cruel world with out feeling and sensitive people. :)
@tacoma200 Being sensitive is one thing, being hypersensitive is another. The world is not a better place if we always have to walk on eggshells and sugar delivery for every little message. Balance...that is the answer. People need to learn everything is not personal...it really is not all about them. I consider highly sensitive people high maintenance....lots of effort to dance around their insecurities. I like that this lady is trying to understand herself better and get to the root
I probably don't quite qualify as a HSP, but any small noise when I'm trying to study or read really shakes me. It takes a few seconds for me to stop being dazed and start again. I have to barricade myself into my room and turn off all the unnecessary lights/electronics to get anything done. :P
I feel the exact same way, also INFP :O definitely reading that book, thank you so much for guiding me to it! ^^

I scored 25. It said 14 or more is HSP. I am an INFP. :)

I'm an INTJ. Although my type is supposed to be very confident and not very emotional (I have been told I look ''unemotional'' to other people), I do have most of the symptoms of HSP. I don't think it correlates with ''feeling'' since that deals with judgement, rather than perception. I think HSP correlates with introversion and intuition (since intuitive people are less comfortable dealing with sensory information).

Nice video, you described my feelings pretty well. Also read HSP, very relatable and helpful.

I definitely believe that introverts and feeling types are the most sensitive. There are too many INFP's that are sensitive for it to be a coincidence. Being sensitive is something that you can't just turn off, though you can learn to deal with it better with practice and understanding. It would be a cruel world with out feeling and sensitive people. :)

@tacoma200 Being sensitive is one thing, being hypersensitive is another. The world is not a better place if we always have to walk on eggshells and sugar delivery for every little message. Balance...that is the answer. People need to learn everything is not personal...it really is not all about them. I consider highly sensitive people high maintenance....lots of effort to dance around their insecurities. I like that this lady is trying to understand herself better and get to the root

It might just be that 'I' thing. new info from outside is an inteference when processing already received information inside.

I probably don't quite qualify as a HSP, but any small noise when I'm trying to study or read really shakes me. It takes a few seconds for me to stop being dazed and start again. I have to barricade myself into my room and turn off all the unnecessary lights/electronics to get anything done. :P
