The Highly Sensitive Person

Happy New Year!! It is now 2016, and I believe this is my first post of the year! Here we go,
 
Over the last few years I have noticed that I keep meeting a lot of "Sensitive" people and sometimes it is very annoying. Everything bothers them! But I also have noticed that I am somewhat very sensitive myself. Things that bother others do not bother me and vice versus. (only like 50% of the time though, lol) I wondered if something was wrong with me. The older I get the more sensitive I get...I think. Apparently it is normal. It is found in 15 to 20% of the population–too many to be a disorder, but not enough to be well understood by the majority of those around you. I know for a fact some people are way more sensitive then me. Here is a good website I found where this lady did research on the topic. Take the test to see if you are overly sensitive.
 
I also found an Ebook called Psychotheraphy and the Highly Sensitive Person: Improving Outcomes for That Minority of People Who Are the Majority of Clients. by Elaine N. Aron Just the title itself makes for a good read.
