I am also a highly sensitive person, I also feel like others are talking about me or thinking negative thoughts about me...I have the opposite problem, I'm fine when out in public, but not ok at home. I do not feel connected to society at home. I'm looking to move into the city, right in the heart of it all, but it's going to be another 3 months as I'm waiting for funding from the office of mental health. My boyfriend used to live with me, now he's gone, so I really need support now, living alone and so isolated from the rest of society. It's like I need to continually 'people watch,' - I get so much out of people watching!! I'm working on meditating when I'm at home, took a meditation class even, and to listen to music helps me..
Everyone has unique experiences and are senstitive to different things..
I wish us each luck on our life journey's
