1. This has helped me to a large extent in my profession, although it can really become a burden. 😢
A burden I still want to carry till the end. 😁
Really hate it when I can’t be of help to someone who needs help at a point in time.

2. I can tell about a person within minutes of meeting, and almost, always above 60% right.

3. Once knew someone who felt he could always have his way, as he usually felt smarter than everyone around.
How I always found him out, beat his imagination.

I could just sit in a place, string a person’s words, actions and inactions, as well as expressions to know what’s going on.

Dude (a military personnel himself), calls me Madam FBI or CIA till date.

But then, it can be really draining.

Now I tell myself, “Peace be still”, “since you don already know wetin dey xup, let it slide” and “let it go”…

Do you also despise pride in people ?.... people with pride.

You see this set of people called hsp, if the world was filled more with them, there would have been peace, calmness, lesser wars, lesser unnecessary things and a better place.

Naturally, I hate crowd movement. Anything that people flock to, I generally normally find myself hating it.

Starting with the music of popular artist that starts with d, o, w , b etc.

To the gadgets that start with I

To the need and love to Japa. I feel it's totally unnecessary .

To the need to update whatsap status with your achievements, food you're eating, where you are going etc.

There are fake hsps too o. Lol.

But the real ones, have few friends, true friends. Peolle like them because naturally they are calm and nice. There are some hsps too that are extrovert for short periods, before their social battery quickly runs down .

Hsps need quiet places, alone to recharge, that's why they love being alone.


Hsps are good people naturally, but the ones who have been hurt and damage, are like a ticking bomb. I can go on and on, but let me stop here first.

@Nnamdiosu...welcome to our WhatsApp group! 😆 You see that crowd part and people struggling for something's. Them no born me well make I follow drag; why ? ....because of emotional & mental breakdown.

I remembered when I went for one or two job hunts that year: na from the gate of the companies I turn back dey go house. What happened? See crowd of applicants for the company gate. I was like, "wetin! On top of how much them wan pay ? "

....And that's how it has been in other aspect of my life, I don't like going for things people drag. If it's something one must get, I would rather wait for the crowd to go down.

HSPs them no dey like anything dragging.... It is their type you see standing aside ,looking, when people are struggling to gain entrance into a banking premises. 😆 😆

nnamdiosu:


Lol. Perfect Spot on. Same here. Omo I no like stress abeg. Just cool, calm baby boy life.

I'll compensate it with prayers at night for God to give me grace because I know say I no get power to do the things others do, make I ask God for grace.

And it is really helping. You see, hsp needs to totally lean to God more than anyone else because we no fit fight or rush or shout, lol.

So na grace of God we need badly.

I remember when I was going for clearance, due to one thing or the other, I couldn't start with my mates. I was feeling bad, I didn't know God was just saving me from stress, queue and rush.

One of my course mate was already two places away from the final clearance and receiving his result. They used weeks to get to that point.

Me wen I started, I used days to finish everything, I met him, passed him, collected result and went to serve before he went to serve.

The thing just be like slow motion for film way you just fast forward suddenly.

Hsps are really wonderful people. That's why the ones that decide to be good and serve God, always end up being very annionted.


Then the bad ones, are those psychopaths that can just be calm and be slicing people for oyibo countries. Lol

I used to think i am a SPIRIT and not a real human being

I feel you well Brother. Can't how many times things have worked out for me similarly.

Any hsp that turns psychopathic will most likely be one who became frustrated. And that's my reason for starting this thread, so any hsp out there can know that he or she is in good company, not alone. And that he or she is perfectly normal, in fact gifted.

My question is....why do others see HSP as being proud?

They think you're forming to know too much. ...how have you guys being coping with such especially at work?

Awakened38:


Well, HSPs know "too much" compared to non HSP's; it's a fact.
Naturally people who know too much can't be unnoticed, because they are bound to sound the alarm when they sense danger coming, give advice even if unsolicited, share their knowledge, etc. All of these tend to sometimes awaken jealousy and envy in some people.

One thing you must know is that, you're not responsible for what others think or feel of you. If you make it your responsibility, then you end up people pleasing all the time, and certainly this is why a lot of HSPs are miserable; because we worry so much what people think of us. We think we need to apologise for being intelligent, for being gifted, for being too incomprehensible for other people's ego.
But you didn't create yourself, you're not responsible for being a HSP. All that you need to do is to get comfortable with yourself and your gift. Accept who you are, and recognise that whatever hate you're attracting is because you've got something in you that makes others feel insecure. Learn though to not force your viewpoint on others; as a matter of fact, let your wisdom become your priced asset. Learn to give your opinion only when asked and if you so choose. Enjoy your aloneness. Do not feel guilty for minding your business and keeping to yourself if you so feel.

Wish you well

I'm an hsp but will love to be less sensitive cause some people do take advantage of one,I easily forgive and I don't like that,I don't know why I keep putting myself in people's shoes it makes me feel hurt,I want to be selfish,I actually wish I was less sensitive.Its like I feel different energies all at once, honestly it feels exhausting.

Awakened38:


Like I stated earlier, HSPs are amazingly similar. I share all the traits you mentioned. First, I am not materialistic just like you, and I've always been this way for as long as I can remember. I however fear poverty, because I don't know about you, but I don't know how to ask for help from others, in fact I rarely ever do if at all. It's not about pride, but I guess I just don't want to bother anyone. Usually, I'll pay to get whatever help I need whenever possible. Sometimes I go to great lengths to discover solutions myself rather than bother anybody. This ofcourse does not include close family members. I have no problems asking for help from immediate family members, but even that is done with due consideration.

Yes, so as far as material things are concerned, HSPs seem to put them in perspective. We know there true value; that they are transcient at best. We are able to examine the lives of others who have attained wealth, and often we can see through the glamour; we can see that although money is good and necessary, a lot of it doesn't necessarily translate to a happier life. I'll give you an example; often when most people think of relocating from Nigeria, their biggest concern is where they can make big money, but I for my part, if I must leave, although I don't wish to, my concern has always been about the environment and nature. I'll not want to relocate to hustling and bustling city, I'd rather prefer a place that is quite, peaceful, good weather, and cheap economically . But that's just me, the choice may be different for others and that's fine too.

And just like you, I value intelligence greatly too. In fact, I love intelligent people. Because we love to learn, HSPs are drawn to intelligent people. I have this principle, if I have to go anywhere, I always base my decision on what and if I'm going to learn anything enriching there, otherwise its always hard for me to go. And by the way, HSPs are naturally very intelligent people, so no surprise we are drawn to intelligent people. But don't get me wrong, sometimes I go to places I don't necessarily enjoy, but just to make others happy. I don't like crowds you know

OP everything you Wrote up there Is True.

But With Regards to the Fragile Part, You are right on that too. As for me, I used to be Fragile. To buttress my Epistle, I have this Babie Facial look which some people tend to tease me with like "Hey Babie Face"😂

But due to Some Unanticipated Circumstances which resulted to Bad Experience. I had to develop A Very Thick Skin. Although I still have my Good Heart Intact which nothing will ever Change. But my Antennas are always at Alert now most especially when I'm around Strangers. I will always keep being myself Regardless of Some Situations I have gone through In life.

Since my Childhood days, I have always known who I am. I have always known there Is something special about me. I'm the Most Intelligent among my Family Members. How I wish I could go Into details but this will do lol. I keep learning so much about Life and Myself as I continue to grow. Knowing and discovering more about myself was the reason why I choose this Monicker Treassured.

You've literally said everything about me In your Post except for the Fragile Part which I emphasized on earlier, Thanks to Evolution. Everyday I fall In Love with myself. Although I'm an Mild OCD & PTSD Patient lol but not Severe. Neatness, Cleanliness, Orderliness, Quietness, Just to mention a few are some of my many Attributes.

Some Ignoramus people see me as Weird but Who Cares. I'm Highly Sensitive. I'm me and I love Myself❤

Treassured:


Lol I perfectly understand you because I have been there. The good thing about me Is I have Evolved. You need to Pick Up Some Books, Read About and Research on Human Nature like your life depends on It. Visit Different Places, Meet People and Experience Real Life Experiences.

It took me Donkey Years too before I eventually discovered Human True Nature and Many classified Informations I have an Insight Into now.

Some Human Beings aren't exactly what they Potray themselves to be. Some Humans are Predators. I wouldn't want to Dive Deep Into this Hole. It's what you must do by Yourself.

It Is the reason whenever I look at Myself, I always say to Myself I'm A Treasure because I know I'm a An Altruist. And we all Know Altruistic Humans are Few In Numbers.

The Picture below depict how some people would take Advantage of you when they notice you are too Nice and Fragile😂

henrimoto:
.... True! When an extrovert is around an introvert, e no dey blend well. It's discomfort to the extrovert. Imagine trying to create a lengthy conversation, and the other person is not talking much.... Just nods, chips in yeah! Really! Ok! Good! Now and then. The talking is coming from one side. Hmnnn..

it's discouraging to the person wanting to create a conversation.

Treassured:


Seems like I was the one who Typed this Epitsle. You Just described me except for the Not Leaving Nigeria Part.

I want to Travel around the World.
