What type of Highly Sensitive Person are you?

According to the research of Dr. Elaine Aron, and author of the book The Gift of Sensitivity, high sensitivity is a genetic variation that allows the nervous system and brain to process subtleties and details that are overlooked by most. This once-life-saving evolutionary tool has become an overstimulating burden in the modern world, as there is a myriad of stimuli to process at all times. Being highly sensitive means that you are more sensitive when it comes to external and internal stimulation. By now, you have most likely realized that you are…

Why don’t introverts emerge as leaders?

It's no surprise that introverts can make great leaders. There are quite a few references about great introverted leaders from politicians like Barack Obama, film directors, human rights activists or even influencers (as we collect in our list of famous introverts). But then why don't we see job offers where introverted executives are in demand? This may be because the term introversion is tainted by words like shy, anxious, or stressed about change. While you can be introverted and shy, there are also extroverts and shy. Introversion and extroversion are personality traits…

Traits to look for in a partner if you have social anxiety

Suffering from social anxiety can lead to isolation in the romantic field. Asking someone for their number, flirting, or simply going to an event full of single people can seem like an impossible task in the mind of a person with social anxiety. This often leads us to believe that we are destined to live a lonely life. Whenever someone asks me for advice on how to find love if they have social anxiety, I tell them to think about who they should become to attract the type of person they like.…

Confessions / Social Anxiety

I went drunk to an interview because of my social anxiety

I am not only an introvert, I'm a highly sensitive person and I have social anxiety. I don't like to speak in public. I don't want all eyes on me. When it gets really bad I forget how to breath. I don't know how to conjugate verbs and I get my tongue twisted. In other words… I make a fool of myself But the thing is, it doesn't always happen. There are times when I do feel comfortable: I can talk non-stop, express my opinions meaningfully and, above all, conjugate verbs 😅……

Why do you feel so empty as introvert

I still remember the first time I felt that feeling of inner emptiness; when you know something is missing but you don't know what is it or how to get it back. In addition to feeling it, I have "seen" it: a dark gray hole in the chest area, which seems to suck in any reason to feel motivated. I was in college, a time full of ups and downs due to the stress of wanting to pass everything with a good grade, work weekends, make friends from scratch, and be away…

HSP

What I hate about being a highly sensitive person

I have previously talked about all the advantages of being a highly sensitive person, but like everything, we have our weaknesses… a dark side that we do not like people to see. About HSPs A highly sensitive person is someone who has an increased sensitivity of the central nervous system to multiple stimuli, be they physical, emotional, environmental, or social. The term was coined by psychologist Elaine Aron (author of The Highly Sensitive Person) in the mid-1990s, and interest in the concept has grown ever since. According to Aron's theory, HSPs are…

How to “say no” and avoid being taken advantage of.

Every time I say no to someone I suffer. As if by rejecting a plan or favor I am disappointing them. This is partly because I want people to like me, and I feel like saying no is taking points away from our relationship. Although shyness and introversion are different, many shy and introverted people also feel pressure to say "no," especially in socially difficult situations. While it is true that you do not have to be an introvert for this to happen to you, as introverts we are normally more reserved,…

Confessions #1: Having roommates when you are introverted

I had been fantasizing for years with the idea of leaving my parents' house, living with people my own age, and not having to explain myself to anyone. That is why as soon as I had the first opportunity to leave home I did without any hesitation. Let's say that I chose my degree based on the city I wanted to be in, rather than if they would be useful when finding a job. And so, I went away from home and my lifelong friends. I moved to Madrid, to a flat…

How to stop being so introverted

When I read this question that a reader sent me, it gave me chills. This blog is about how to make the most of our introversion, know ourselves and be aware of our advantages and limitations.
