On Being Sensitive

[UmSumm]

Thank you! : )

Sensitivity has to do with problems with jobs. Stimulation threshold is so low that it is problem for people to keep even little stimulating jobs. We always feel that there is too little of us for anything. This is terrible! No job life for whole life! To be born that way sucks! For regular hsp , this is dead body!

Good to know lots of celebrities are too! Really gets me down sometimes, episodes of sensitivity and high emotion can last from as little as 5 minutes to 3 days- I soon get over it and think I'm fine, can cope, but something else will trigger my high sensitivity. I believe its something I can't actually change permanently about myself. I have the book 'the highly sensitive person' too, and although it's made me understand myself better, it hasn't really helped me 'get over it'.

I think some of these people might have been read wrong. I know we all come from all walks of life but I know there are people out there that will say anything to get the right publicity. PR managers are experts at telling people what to say to convey the right feeling. However, I don't know celebrities that well, I try to distance myself from glamour since the shallowness of the industry leaves a bad taste in my psyche. I do sense genuine sensitivity in some of these people though.

@Jarobman lmaooo thats exactly what i was thinking!!!celebs most likely do have these"issues"too,but i just think some of them are just into themselves too much and want to sound well poetic,and have attention on them...if that makes sense.....it hard to describe.....
