About Highly Sensitive People (HSP)
HSP's: Experts say 15-20% of us inherit this perceptiveness and that it can be a great asset.
Signs of this trait:
-sensitive to noise, bright light, colours, temperature, smells, tastes, textures (hard to find the zone of "just right") -more aware of people's feelings -conscientious & caring -pause before taking action -vivid imagination -think deeply about everything they notice -need & enjoy time alone every day
