Actually, I don't think I'm too sensitive- I think everybody else is too insensitive! Oh, btw…I’m “too sensitive” too…I have often been informed of that by insesntive people who didn’t like me calling attention to their wrongdoings.

I think IQ and EQ can be found in varying degrees in all people. I don't think having high IQ means you have low EQ. And certainly having a low IQ doesn't mean you have high EQ. Some people have lots of both, some people have little of either. etc. And the same goes for so called "book smarts " and "street smarts". Lord knows there are plenty of people who have neither. This isn't very PC but...why are people so stupid? Dpoes anybody else out there ask themselves this all the time like I do?

I often give people the name Marla because most people can't say my name. I know that I am a HSP. I've tried to ignore it for most of my life. Home, school, work... everywhere I go I feel it. I have to be careful who I let around me. I go as far as to have intense muscle cramping in my shoulders and back from negative energies. This occurred most when I was working in a hospital. I had a boss who understood me and gave me room to be me. Only thing my boss couldn't protect me from people higher than him so ultimately I was dismissed. The same thing happened last year, but there was no one around this time to protect me. The last thing I remember hearing from my boss at this place was, "You really need to develop a thicker skin". I've heard this all my life from my parents and various people. It's no fun being like this when you don't know how to manage it. I was on feel good pills from my doctor which all I can say is that I felt so free but so not me.... I was absolutely emotionless. So that wasn't an option any longer, especially when I noticed the medication numbing my sexual sensation. I had lost that too... My relationship suffered and we broke up. I'm still working on it managing HSP everyday. I didn't know there was so much information on HSP and I know I was meant to see this at this point in my life. I've felt all that I can felt, now I need to learn how to protect and understand myself. There is no mistake, HSP is a gift and a curse. Thankful to Have Found This Site, Marlem P.S. Ditto Marla... every last thing you said is me all the way too. Now nothing anyone says can ever make me feel like there is something wrong with me... There are more of us out there and I'm glad to finally be aware this. I certainly identify with Ms. Marla … I often give people the name Marla because most people can’t say my name.

I have finally figured it out after moving to a larger city, about a year ago that I feel overwhelmed by all the business, it has been a real adjustment for my soul. I finally looked back over my life and back to when I was very young and how sensitve I have always been to everybody and thing around me, I just didn't ( and still have trouble) understand how other children could be so insensitive and seemingly mean spirited. I still feel that most people just don't seem to be as affected as I am, and now I know why. I believe my son is also like me. I totally understood when he didn't want to ride the bus home from school because he was tired of all the commotion of the day and needed quiet time. He is a musician and I am a designer, we both have super talent. I am going to read the book about this and I am going to join some type of support group for myself, I think both will be helpful. I am relieved to know why I am so different and introverted with the other attributes as well. With Sincere Appreciation, Marla P.S. I get so irritated with the rest of the world and how they seemingly are cruel and unfeeling and just don't seem to care about others. Hi,
