Exactly! Ice cream kid! IT IS a gift, although it can be painful. There is a book called The HSP (Highly sensitive personality).....I am sensitive to sounds, touch, even my teeth, gums and skin highly sensitive......I cannot bear any chaos (which is ironic, because I lived with abuse and chaos in a childhood and then 31 years of abuse in a marriage).

I have no idea how to stop being sensitive; I wouldn't want to be......I wouldn't feel in touch/tune with the world and people; although it is painful to live in a world, which in essence, is INsensitive.

Hugs, Marie

My sensitivity will help me in my profession (mental health) and I have such a perception about people, which is usually correct. i try to live in the moment.

I read an article about sensitivity....it said that we need more sensitive people;without them we would not have beauty in the world; poetry, etc., etc.......I think most people are INsensitive, and those of the highly sensitive nature only make up about 10% of the population.
