I am definitely a sensitive person, perhaps too much so. I can relate to many of the traits described in this article, esp this part: Even when extraverted, they tend to be introspective, have rich inner lives, and need extended periods of time alone to “recharge.” HSPs also are disproportionately drawn to the arts and music, and tend to be very easily moved to tears by expressions of beauty and intensity, as well as images of horror and violence. ... I am very easily affected and disturnbed by the bad stuff in the world when I becaome aware of it, yet I am equally emotive in how I respond to beauty in nature and creative expression. I am an idealist and perfectionist. I often feel the need to protect myself and withdraw from the world, live in my own world, even tho I am an acute observer of truth who feels strongly driven to instigate positive change. I very seldom, if ever, open up to people completely.
