The reason why highly sensitive people are essential at work

I remember the frustration looking at job offers and feeling like I would never fit. Employers are looking for bubbly, energetic, social people... but what about seriousness? the ability to concentrate on a single task? of empathy? solidarity? They are often traits that are in needed but are overlooked. It's true that some common workplace situations that can be moderately stressful for others, such as speaking in meetings or receiving feedback, can quickly overstimulate an HSP.
