AM I HIGHLY SENSITIVE?
If you can answer “yes” to more than 50% of the questions, you are probably highly sensitive.
Typical HSP situations:
HSP test “Do you know when …”?
… you have been shopping in the city and come home very tired and powerless?
… you enter a room with people and immediately feel the atmosphere in the room?
… too many stimuli at once completely overwhelm you?
… you have the feeling that everything is too close to you?
… other people say: “What you’ve got back, don’t act like that!”?
… loads off you as soon as you are at home and have your peace?
… driving on public transport stresses you excessively?
… you notice changes in any form directly and make you feel insecure?
… a person’s mood quickly rubs off on you?
… you can perceive tensions between people even though they have not been expressed?
… you consume alcohol (or the like) because it is socially established.
But you don’t really want to spend your free time doing it?
… you want to understand why people think clubs, bars, concerts etc. are so great?
But what if you are there, just want to go home and are labeled a fun brake?
… your fellow human beings tell you all their worries because you are such a great listener but nobody is really listening to you?
… you admire the intensity of nature and some of your fellow human beings cannot understand this?
… the smallest things distract you and you can no longer follow a situation?
… you are writing an important exam in one room with many students and you can hardly concentrate?
… you want to do more with “pets” than with people, because you feel more secure with them?
… your family doctor is surprised because you are more sensitive to medication?
… you don’t like to wear tight clothing (e.g. turtleneck sweaters)?
