Signs You Might Be A Highly Sensitive Person
I was practicing tarot in the park one day a couple of years ago when I sparked a life-changing conversation with a stranger. During our talk, she suggested I read “The Highly Sensitive Person” and I immediately made note of it.
So much of my life started to make sense after I read that book.
Growing up, friends and family labeled me as “very sensitive,” which shaped my view of it as a weakness. I even stopped outwardly expressing any emotion besides happiness for years. This also made me repress my natural spiritual senses, like clairsentience and clairaudience.
It wasn’t until I started tapping into my spiritual gifts again that I realized I needed to dive into my sensitive nature. Being sensitive (actually, highly sensitive) to sounds, smells, changes in energy, and—most importantly for me— feelings are truly my superpower.
High sensitivity can deepen empathy, spiritual experiences, and creativity. Being a highly sensitive person may come with some exhausting experiences and feelings, but recognizing it as a gift opens up a world of magic.
Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? Here are five signs you might be:
You’re connected to and appreciate art
You find it hard to let go of uncomfortable emotions and have a hard time expressing them
You have a strong reaction to noise, bright lights, and/or scents
Watching or reading the news deeply affects you
You have a rich inner world
If you haven’t already, I highly (pun intended) recommend reading “The Highly Sensitive Person” to learn more.
