Dr. Aron this examines so many of my qualities or quirks as some might say. I have even talked with my psychiatrist concerning this personality and he said he has never heard of it. I tried to tell him it comes under different names such as shyness, etc. He and many doctors like this just want to give us a medication.

No teacher should be making YOU pick up trash,....unless you are the one who threw it in the first place,......or if it is some kind of group project.
I would state, "You either explain yourself, or I am reporting you!" It looks like emotional abuse to me, and this so called 'teacher' has found someone to manipulate, and push around.
Bark out, "HELL NO, and if you try this again, you won't have a job!"
That ought to work beautifully.
Love, & strength to you!

when you are acutely sensitive, you can often fall prey to every energy vampire reptilian there is.. they feed off this insecurity and subtlety you hold.. they enjoy intimidation and making you react emotionally.
dont let them drive u into self harm, or shut you down, or depress u. in effect they are teaching you to be stronger within and with time you will learn to balance the energies of those who seek to dominate, control or manipulate..
who hasnt had a troubled childhood..? !

Yes, this course of study is still being looked at by psychology and becoming more accepted as time and evidence for it builds up. Those without it are perfectly free to deny its existence, but for those of us who are not just emotionally sensitive but can feel sensations in our own bodies vividly enough to accurately diagnose something most people need xrays of (has happened to me before), along with a strong, sometimes overpowering empathy for those around us...it's a very real thing.

Also, to those who have been hurt or burned by an HSP you found self-absorbed and only sensitive when it comes to themselves rather than others and the world around them, I'm sure that can happen, as it can with non-HSP people. It's a trait that can end up with other traits attached (like a proclivity for selfishness). However, most of us acutely feel the pain and trauma, love and happiness of complete strangers as well (you can infer from that our empathy for friends and family is stronger).

HSP is not a syndrome or disorder. I see some comments saying that it's also called low anxiety threshold syndrome or neuroticism. No. Sorry, these are not the same thing. HSP is a trait, with benefits and drawbacks like other traits. Now, one of the downsides of this trait is that it can lead to neuroticism, depression and more, especially in societies that don't appreciate the benefits of sensory sensitivity or use that sensitivity to abuse or manipulate the HSP

@Xartavion then why are u responding?

@lilithmoon1979 You're right, I should just admit it: you win.
But you know what they say about arguing on the internet - its kind of like the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
Funny thing: YOU had the choice to fly right on by my comment in peace too, but elected to start some ridiculous argument with a comment from a month ago!

@Xartavion and again you had the choice to walk away in peace but yet again you choose to show your ignorance...
Wish I would have learned about HSP years ago. As a teenager, unlike my peers I preferred different music. Reading a good book or story would affect me deeply. I had (and still have) a much more vivid imagination than others. I knew I was different but didn't know why. Now I am a farmer and it is one of the best occupations for someone like me. Growing crops and working with animals is wonderful. The hardest thing is I have to work as an IT guy on the side, and dealing with nasty people.

Im a freshman at a private High School and Ive always been known to be very sensitive and shy. A teacher one day made me pick up trash and when I asked him why he told me "quit your bitching". i never knew how much that could really hurt me since ive never been treated so badly. I dont know what to do about it, if I just ignore it it seems as if though Im weak and cant deal with my problems. Im too shy to talk to anyone about this thats why Im typing this, can anyone please give my ann advice.
