In reality, many situations that overwhelm HSPs may seem “small” to others but seem “big” to us. Self-care is so important, as is knowing your personal triggers. ❤️

11 ‘Little’ Things That Overwhelm Highly Sensitive People

https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/little-things-that-overwhelm-highly-sensitive-people/

I get easily overwhelmed in groups, especially when it's in a social situation where the group's arrangement is fixed, such as around a table at a restaurant.

I realized one of the best ways to be able to find some equilibrium is to sit at the end, so I can easily engage multiple people in conversation and/or don't get ignored -- but I can also get up whenever I want without having to ask anyone to move or drawing attention to myself.

I used to enjoy the excitement of this day, during which a large outdoor market gets set up in the city center to mark the official start of fall.

But I've grown more sensitive to crowds and would rather avoid them.

#雾霾幸存者日记
还有一件事：一直以来我觉得冬天的风很辣脸是因为「寒风刺骨」，直到今年才发现寒风辣脸是因为冬天空气很脏。

我刚到山里疗养的那天，山里才刚下过雨不久，三月底的风还是冷的。我一边往宾馆走，一边感受冷风拂在我的脸上，觉得很柔和，虽然有点冷，但很舒服。

夏天回到了指派故乡，吹到脸上的风是热的，但也是柔的——除了电瓶车路过工地的时候。在工地旁边开过去会觉得脸有点干，会想要戴口罩防护一下。

这时我才突然想起自己很小的时候妈妈每天骑着形似电瓶车的摩托车送我上幼儿园，我因为年纪还很小，坐后面太危险了所以只能坐在前面。我面前是一块大挡风玻璃，但它绝不可能挡掉冬天所有的寒风。风依然会吹到我的脸上，只不过绕了个弯，没那么直接了。

作为ASD，我其实能记得当时的感觉。当时冬天的风只是冷，并不辣脸。每天被寒风吹着去上学，我也不觉得脸上难受。冷只是单纯的冷。

再长大一点坐汽车时总爱开窗，让风吹在我的脸上，觉得很舒服。

再长大一点，中国的空气就很差了。差得我无意识中放弃了坐在车里吹风的爱好，并且坐电瓶车也想戴口罩遮掉脸颊，因为脸暴露出来很不舒服。

原来都是污染惹的。难怪那天在山里吹着冷风，总觉得这样风很柔和我很欢喜的感觉似曾相识。那是我干净的童年啊！

并且也许只有敏感的人#HSP 才能区别脸部的不同感受。我妈骑车路过工地时就并不觉得脸部难受，在空气好的开阔地区她也不觉得脸部舒服。

Cool morning air means fresh ginger-and-turmeric tea.

I can't do caffeine (too sensitive to it), so I've had to find workarounds for a warm morning beverage.

But now I really enjoy the slightly peppery flavor of the ginger, and chopping up the ingredients is a morning ritual.

说到这个不得不吐槽#丹碧丝，#棉条 中的新手杀手。如果你是新手，用了丹碧丝，置入之前就觉得痛了，或者取出时觉得痛，千万不要怪自己不会用！都是丹碧丝的错！！！入口极其粗糙，很容易弄痛。部分设计取出时是长方形，也会伤害敏感人士#HSP。

新手推荐：
1.日产尤妮佳
缺点是量偏小。我用别的品牌很少用到normal，都在用量最小的不然很干……但用尤妮佳就可以用normal流量。

2.国产非秘（以及其它形状长得像非秘的新兴国产品牌）
这种导管形状很温润，置入不容易痛。

已经有两三个人和我反馈说试用棉条失败了！用的都是丹碧丝！都怪丹碧丝阻碍了棉条新手！！！！！

人を小バカにする人は、何故かまっっったく、そのことに気づいてない

ボクは #ビビり #HSP なお陰で？ほぼ小バカにされる側で生き続けてるんだけども…

人を小バカにする側には、死んでも回りたくない

人って油断したらすぐ横柄になる

期待しちゃうとか甘えるとか

もちろんそうなるのは分かるんだけど

#HSP #ビビり なのでボクはそこから離れます

距離感は人によって全然違う

それを一緒くたにして相手を責める人の多いこと

油断せずに見直し続けよ

The mental load is heavy today. So I'm reminding myself to slow down, take one thing at a time, and get tasks done methodically.

No time or desire to get paralyzed with overwhelm!

"In a recent study by Birkbeck, University of London’s Centre for Neurodiversity at Work, employers highlighted hyperfocus, creativity, innovative thinking, visual reasoning, and strength in processing detail and recognising patterns as valued qualities of ND staff."

I think HSPs can add a lot to a team, too -- under the right leadership that understands their traits as strengths rather than weaknesses.

"Our sensitivity helps us see the nuances of color in this world that others miss. What a blessing if we could stop rejecting that gift and instead use it to invite others into the beauty that we experience."

So true, fellow HSPs. ❤️

"As a Highly Sensitive Person, I Used to Be Ashamed That I ‘Felt Too Much’" -
https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/highly-sensitive-person-felt-too-much/

Very touched today when a friend who struggles to read social situations asked me for help in deciding how to broach a tricky situation with a friend. Sometimes being an #HSP and empath comes in handy, although exhausting.

"'House hushing’ is a new interiors trend that’s making (the right kind of) noise in these troubling times. Here, experts reveal how to turn down the volume and create peace"

21 Signs You’re a Highly Sensitive Person ❤️

I nodded like a bobblehead at all 21, but I already knew this. Sadly, most consider this character trait a defect (or just someone who is "too sensitive" in the negative sense of the concept). I have learned that this trait has many benefits. Among other benefits, it makes me fantastic at what I do for a living, a great friend, and I am also a human lie detector. 😀

I honored my need to retreat from PC and phone notifications by closing myself in my room and reading a book.

That book had some tips for creating a culture of belonging, which I think I may be able to put to use. :purple_balloon_heart:
