gift? hardly. lol

about 90% of that article applies to me. i don't have any allergies or fear of flying on a plane though. actually the lift off process in a plane is quite fun. :d

sometimes it's great to have the ability to sense what is going on in the world around me, but other times it's completely overwhelming and it's just much easier to be alone or only be around a few people at a time.

hsp may feel a massive input of stimuli in crowded places such as a shopping mall resulting in anxiety and a desire to retreat. for sure! any crowded place really.

if other hsp are like me, then they plan their schedules and run errands at a time when they know public places will not be crowded. it makes shopping so much easier. moving to a small town or living out in the country helps a great deal, which is what i have done.

the hardest part though has to be the anxiety or fight/flee reflex. it overwhelms in a heartbeat and logic seems nonexistent.
