yes, i actually read this book and i liked it for the most part. it does make sense. it is one of those things that seems so simple and obvious that you wonder why no one thought of it long before.

i think i would fit the bill as a hsp and although it is challenging to be one in this world i absolutely do think it is a gift. i think that a sensitive person can teach himself/herself ways to navigate this world without stress but a dense person can not teach himself/herself to be sensitive. i think being sensitive also makes you a quick study so that we get and understand things very quickly and easily and maybe on a deeper level as well.

i am older now but it was hard to be sensitive when i was a young kid. everybody seemed so much tougher than me and i wanted to be tough as well. i did eventually teach myself a good deal of toughness but in the process i lost a bit of my sensitivity. now that i am older i realize that my sensitivity was a great strength and not a weakness and i regret "hardening" myself up. maybe i calcified my pineal gland a bit and now i want to "unharden" myself and get my sensitivity back.

oh well, you live and you learn.

my humble gratitude,
