Characteristics Of Highly Sensitive People

Introduction

Every twentieth person is considered a highly sensitive person (PAS). This means that you or someone you know can be sensitive. 42% of the population are not highly sensitive, which means that most things do not bother all the others are somewhere in between, and some are completely indifferent (by the way, 20% of the entire animal kingdom is also very sensitive).

Who are the PAS?

We are the thinkers, the cautious, the conservatives; Those who say, "Hey, wait a minute. Let's think about this before we do anything reckless.

Every society needs very sensitive people, just as we need warriors, leaders willing to take risks. However, we are the ones who help moderate the insensitive guys who may be brave, brash, and impulsive, and may not have thought about the consequences of their actions. The roles of advisors, advisors, and lawyers for moderation.

Unfortunately, in Western society they were labeled as a bit "defective", depending on how we are perceived by those who are not sensitive. They are considered "too sensitive, too cautious, too shy, too shy, too introverted, too afraid". Note that these are not "problems" to be corrected and fixed with sensitive people. It's the labels attached to them that are causing the problems. Many insensitive people are also shy, introverted, and fearful. Although there are a lot of very sensitive people who are sociable, super friendly, sociable, and risky. We tend to think things through first and weigh all the factors that our senses capture before moving on.

The characteristics of a very sensitive person

Let's look at some facts and mythical names that have been assigned to this particular group.

Shyness

You are likely to find a higher proportion of shy people in the PAS group. That doesn't mean everyone is shy, It's a myth.
Many insensitive people are also shy, which is sometimes mistaken for shyness in assessing the situation and the people we just met.

Careful

When our senses say something is wrong, the person we're not going to be so open to them. The first impression counts.

It is not just the way the person is dressed, but all of their posture, aura, demeanor, and other little subtleties that we perceive with all of our senses.

Thoughts & Feelings

We process the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that we receive in every new situation, this can make some of us appear "shy" when we are not.

Another Myth (Introverts)

You will find that many PAS can be extroverts, you will find many insensitive people as introverts too. Don't confuse deep thinking and internal reflection with introversion.

We need a lot more alone time, this is because our nervous system can become overwhelmed in a situation where an insensitive person makes us exhausted and overwhelmed, so we need to find a quiet place to sit down as soon as possible. This is why many PAS stay home most of the time instead of partying. It's not that we don't want this ... we just know that our systems can't handle overload for too long. When we cannot escape, we go inside as a kind of protective shield to try to reduce the noise, sights, sounds, and smells that bombard us to calm us down in fear.

Unless you are utterly indifferent and lacking conscious consideration for others who may say they were never afraid, sometimes this is not an exclusive property of sensitive people, new experiences often trigger butterflies, frightening thoughts, and inner restlessness in most people.

Conclusion

PAS simply tends to feel these emotions more deeply. See the "big picture" and the possible consequences of our actions are in our nature. If everyone rushed in without paying attention to anything, we would have even more chaos in our world than we are now.
Too sensitive - yes, this is our main quality. We assimilate everything around us at once. The lights, the noises, the smells, the energetic vibrations, everything is recorded, processed, and evaluated. Unfortunately, when there is too much activity and noise around us, we cannot hold out for long. For example, what can be a low or a moderate level of music for an insensitive person may sound like a rock concert level to us. We are emotionally affected by many disharmonizes in the world. We feel the pain of another person, we are aware of the low burden.
