Glass Heart, Fragility, and Excessive Emotion? Understanding Heightened Sensitivity May Be a Turning Point in Your Life
Sensitive, prone to melancholy, fragile, when you understand your heightened sensitivity, you will embark on a new journey.
Do people say you're a 'glass heart,' fragile, overly emotional, or? Do you even feel that way yourself?
You feel uncomfortable in bustling, crowded commercial areas, while others are laughing and chatting?
Even a slightly unpalatable meal can make you feel that something is wrong, while others might say you're too picky?
When watching movies, television, or even reflective articles, you'll be deeply moved, fearing people will see you crying secretly?
You always sense something is amiss, even able to detect lies?
When someone says something to you, you feel uncomfortable and think they're targeting you?
............
When you have the above feelings, it is highly likely that you are a highly sensitive person.
Recently, I came across the book title 'The Power of High Sensitivity' online, and I was very impressed. I am a sensitive person, prone to melancholy, and I cry when I'm moved, and I also cry...
Recently, I encountered a struggling mother in a study group, and just by reading her words, I knew she was also a sensitive person, and I guessed many of her thoughts based on her words. She was surprised, 'How did you know?' I could truly sense it.
Not only that, but when I chat with familiar friends, I can perceive the mood of the person chatting, based on the speed and rhythm of their replies.
Therefore, when I got the book 'The Power of High Sensitivity,' its words deeply resonated with me. Many places felt incredibly relatable, and I specifically shared sentences from the book with a similarly sensitive friend, who was amazed by the book's charm.
The author, Catherine Losstedt, is a highly sensitive person, a high sensitivity research expert, the creator of the 'High Sensitivity' social media platform, and a 'High Sensitivity' ambassador. The author shares her knowledge and experience in the book, which can inspire you, help you see things from a new perspective, and overcome the tendency to be critical.
Although not a psychologist, the author wrote the book from the perspective of a highly sensitive person and information provider, which can truly make you understand yourself, give you courage, live in the present moment, and honestly treat yourself and others, and find your strengths.
The pioneer in the field of high sensitivity research, Elaine N. Allen, proposed the DOES formula, which summarizes the main characteristics of highly sensitive people: Information processing is in-depth; more susceptible to overstimulation; emotionally sensitive, reacts strongly to positive stimulation and even more strongly to negative stimulation; at the same time, they can perceive subtle stimuli that others cannot perceive. You can experience more feelings than ordinary people, which means you need to process more stimulation. You are meticulous and have the ability to empathize, and you are good at understanding the emotions of others, but you need to learn to distinguish between your own feelings and the feelings of others.
Therefore, you need to deeply process a large amount of information. You may recall events from a certain period of time while linking things together.
When a couple argues on the street, one person is sad, and you can understand the other person's feelings, which leaves a lasting impression on you.
Values and viewpoints
Many highly sensitive people have a strong internal value system and value rationality. They are good at analysis, have rich feelings, often think about the structure and framework, and often categorize their experiences into their value system.
Values of highly sensitive people:
Honesty and fairness
Environmental awareness, a close relationship with nature, and respect for other species
To create a better world
To find your mission and live with it
Careful, meticulous, consistent, and logical
Loyalty and responsibility
Reliability and responsibility
Peace, harmony, and unity
If you find many of these values important to you, you should take responsibility for your values, coexist with people who don't agree with your values, and you will be a great communicator, because you are empathetic, considerate, cautious, and helpful.
High density of emotional experience will produce profound impressions, you can experience feelings deeply, you will also gain growth and discover more opportunities.
Recognizing your heightened sensitivity is the most important step you can take to take control of your destiny. When you can identify your ability and characteristics of high sensitivity, you are embarking on a journey of sensitive and resilient individuals.
