I have always felt:

A heightened awareness of my environment, whether it’s sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell.

When I am stressed out and overwhelmed I seek solitude.

I feel compelled to file and organize things and thoughts, crave simplicity .

Very intuitive and can usually sense if someone isn’t telling the truth or if something  is wrong.

Quiet, introverted, timid as a child.

And so it was a relief to discover the term Highly Sensitive Person (or HSP). Being a Highly Sensitive Person means your nervous system is more sensitive to subtleties, your brain processes information and reflects on it more deeply. That’s so me!
