The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You by Elaine N. Aron

I’ve known for a very long time that I’m a highly sensitive person. But for some reason, I haven’t done anything to live accordingly. I know now why I can’t go shopping for a whole day - I need time to decompress, to think and relax. Being with lots of people for an extended amount of time is draining, more so than my introverted friends experiences. Being a HSP brings lots of benefits, like a rich emotional life, INTUITION and a sense of details. However, when you aren’t aware of your shortcomings or what makes you over stimulated, it can be hard to live in a world that isn’t made for you.
