Research shows HSPs react worse to critics

No one likes to hear critics or negative comments about our actions. We feel judged and scrutinized and it's easy to fall into the "you're not valued enough" mentality. And the worst thing is that criticism is everywhere, at work, in your social circle, even on the networks. We cannot escape it, nor should we. There are two types of criticism: A) Criticisms that are intended to make us better. They are self-constructive and are intended to make you a better person. Normally the sandwich technique is used (positive comment, criticism and…

Differences between being an introvert and a HSP

This blog is dedicated to introverts, highly sensitive people and people with social anxiety, but is it the same thing? In case you don't know, I'll tell you in advance, it's not the same but neither are they exclusive or contradictory terms. The truth is that I am an HSP, an introvert and I have social anxiety (quite controlled today) and that is why it is easy for me to write about these terms simultaneously. However, I understand that not all of you who read the blog will be both. That is…

Signs that you are a Highly Sensitive Person

Do you quickly notice how a person feels? Have you been told that you are very empathetic? you may be a highly sensitive person. One of the characteristics of highly sensitive people is that they are very affected by social stimuli, such as the voices and facial expressions of other people. Thus, a highly sensitive person (HSP) experiences the world differently from others. Due to a biological difference they are born with, they are more aware of details and process information in depth. This means that they tend to be creative and…

Open offices: a hell for introverts and HSPs?

It was the third that Tom got up to go to the bathroom, what the hell was this man drinking? In front of me, my other coworker, who seemed to be typing at a thousand miles per hour... or was I typing too slowly? In the background, but still too close, my boss was talking with the community manager about the trip they would take on the next vacation while laughing out loud. And of course, the fitness girl in the office sipping every last drop of her fruit smoothie. I got…

Disadvantages of being a Highly Sensitive Person

Growing up being in an unorganized room was enough to put me in a mood. The sound of other people chewing, the crunch of a plastic bag, or the loud noise of a motorcycle drove me crazy. I thought it was just a mania as everyone told me the same thing, that I was too sensitive and picky. Today we call that a highly sensitive person, people who feel more deeply than the rest. Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) can make you feel different. However, being very sensitive is not a…

Best jobs and careers for Highly Sensitive People

Do you feel that your work steals all of your energy? when you get home all you want is peace and quiet. Silence. You need your mind stop for a while. Is that normal? For a highly sensitive person yes. At least if you work in a work environment with too much sensory input, from customers walking in, the phone ringing, the radio in the background, co-workers talking loud. All of this can be overwhelming and emotionally draining for a person of a sensitive nature. When you dread going to work every…

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 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…

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…

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. This is because as HSPs we process information in a deeper and more reflective way. Therefore,…
