discovering...day 2


Approximately 1 out of 5 people are
"Highly Sensitive People"


"Sensitive" refers to a highly-tuned nervous system.
This isn't all about emotions.
They are able to process more sensory input that others.


Sights, smells, sounds, touch, taste and emotion
all come through at heightened levels.


This all helps to explain why
I have often felt over-sensitive
and over-emotional.
Also explains why I dislike crowds,
strong perfumes and bright lights.

More on how overstimulation has a negative effect...
tomorrow.
