Is this post about me? ;>)

I recognize so much in this, I don't even know where to start. As mentioned on Discord, I always knew there was more than a hyperreactive respiratory system: I experience all things more than most people: sounds, smells, light, warmth, cold, visual stimuli ( energy in general ) and so on and so forth.

I have taken years to explain to even my nearest and dearest, who love me for my sensitive empathy and compassion, but might get confused when I cancel plans, need my own space, or struggle to cope with the demands of work or social life.

This rings so true with me. I always felt like explaining my behavior, so I didn't come off as rude or crazy.

P.S. Let's not even start on what's going on in my head ( just my thoughts alone ), everything is extra active and - although I liked to think that it's the same for most people - I knew and hoped ( for those others ) that it isn't the case. Overthinking is probably very much related to all this, now I (over)think (of) it, haha!

P.P.S. Let's talk one of these days. I think us HSP's / Libras can have a pretty fun talk, especially now we know that we're even more related than we thought ;>)
