I like this piece a lot. This is the first time that I hear the term “Highly Sensitive People.”
Not that I think that I am absolutely one, but the term resonates with me greatly. For instance, I tend to be sensitive of things that might have negatively conditioned me to avoid reality in the past.
For instance, I always get an anxiety attack whenever an unknown person calls me and their unfamiliar number appears on my phone — I always feel that a bad news is coming. Or when someone texts me “Non, do you have time?” I feel like I just want to die to end it all before bad news hits my ears. I am not sure whether that which is sensitive but it has been doing all kinds of strange things to my psyche (yes, I did write “I just want to die” when I see someone’s wanting me without telling me why). So, I think it will be wonderful if the psychology of the future can help people like me to get over things that, from afar, aren’t really that important (yes, I know it, but damn it knowledge is no power here).
