High sensitivity — how to deal with it? Book, test and tips -

The Highly Sensitive Person, Elaine Aron N. — a groundbreaking book, test and tips

High sensitivity is a tricky and somewhat uncomfortable topic, but since you’re here, ask yourself at the outset — do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, feel an excess of stimuli and emotions? Does this happen to you quite often, just like it does to me? In this article, you’ll discover what high sensitivity is, you’ll use a test to check if you’re a highly sensitive person, and I’ll recommend valuable readings necessary to deepen your knowledge on this topic. I base this post on the fantastic book The Highly Sensitive Person — a book that opened my eyes.

This blog post answers the following questions:

What is high sensitivity and its impact on daily life?
Are you a highly sensitive person? Take the test!
How does understanding high sensitivity improve well-being?
Recommended resources for highly sensitive individuals?
Best careers for highly sensitive people?”

High sensitivity — what is it?

The topic of sensitivity may seem uncomfortable and even shameful. Who among us has the courage to publicly admit that they feel everything very intensely and often suffer because of it? I’ve got the guts and I want to help others by sharing my experience and knowledge. Same as with depression, acknowledging that you have a problem (or you have certain features, as in this case) is a very important step towards happiness.

In today’s world we have a lot of things to deal with every day, we live in a continuous hustle and from every side we are attacked by various events, people, sounds, images, scents, tasks to do, in other words, by all kinds of stimuli in a large amount. The Highly Sensitive Person says that about 20% of the population are highly sensitive people.

However, this is not about sensitivity in its common meaning. It’s about how our nervous system works, how we take stimuli and how we respond to them. It’s about our sensitivity to the outside world and to what surrounds us. We see more, we feel more and sometimes it is too much for us — we can fight it, or we can understand it and use our qualities for our good. High sensitivity is also known by its abbreviation, HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).

High sensitivity — test and description of a highly sensitive person

(the complete test for high sensitivity can be found in the book The Highly Sensitive Person)

Do you discern various subtle details from your surroundings?
Does the mood of other people affects you significantly?
Do you need a moment for yourself on days when a lot happens?
Do you have a complicated inner life?
Do loud sounds make you feel uneasy?
Feeling shaken with a lot of tasks to do?
Do you hate doing a lot of things at the same time?
You dislike competing and being watched — do you perform worse when?
Were you seen as a sensitive person when you were a kid?

If your answer to the most of these questions is “yes”, it is likely that you are a highly sensitive person. From The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron N., you can learn that there are different degrees of sensitivity and there is a so-called normal distribution of the chosen characteristic in society. Sensitivity in most people in society will be medium, and only around 20% of people can be classified as highly sensitive.

It is worth remembering, however, that you can be a highly sensitive person a little more or less. Just like, for example, how tall you are against other in society has its average and certain percentage of people can be considered as tall, but they also differ in height from each other. However, the majority of the population fluctuates around the average height.

High sensitivity — how to deal with it?

First of all, it is important to understand who we are — here I especially recommend the book The Highly Sensitive People by Elaine Aron N. The highly sensitive people need above all a lot of peaceful time for rest and relaxation. However, it doesn’t have to mean doing nothing. Calmness and doing everything at your own pace will be good for you, including work, daily chores, or even driving a car. Dream also plays a very important role, and it must be long enough. Unfortunately, highly sensitive people need more sleep and often experience sleeping troubles due to overstimulation.

Don’t overwhelm yourself with too much hustle and bustle — if you cram your day with tons of activities and skip a well-deserved break, things might turn out pretty rough for you.

However, if you feel overwhelmed in a difficult situation (a lot of tasks to do, a large number of people around you), try to reformulate the situation on based on what you’ve just learned. Getting to know yourself better can really help you grasp your emotions and avoid feeling down. If you understand that your body is more sensitive and that you are a highly sensitive person, you don’t torment yourself with a sense of guilt and don’t think that there is something wrong with you. We often find ourselves in the company of people who are not as sensitive as we are, and keeping up with them in everyday situations is simply not for us.

As a highly sensitive person so-called HSP, you need to understand who you are and adapt your life to your needs, not the other way round. It’s worth starting by adding more rest and time for yourself. However, over time, it is worth considering changing your job to one that suits you better. As a highly sensitive person, you will feel overwhelmed in loud and crowded places. Working in a calm environment, or even at home, may be more suitable for you.

It is also worth considering with whom you want to spend time. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about co-workers, friends, or a partner, but it will be difficult for you to keep up with a person who needs large amount of stimulation, while you need time for yourself.

Is high sensitivity something wrong and how to live with it?

Definitely no. This is, in a sense, a gift, but you need to be aware of it. If you don’t understand yourself, then you often force yourself and try to be like the world around you. Unfortunately, sometimes you do it against your will. High sensitivity can be used as your strength in both personal and professional life.

Highly sensitive people — what job is suitable for them?

Since we are quieter and subtler, we work well as advisers, teachers (not necessarily in a loud school), doctors, artists, writers, musicians, or even people working in the religious sphere, freelancers. However, we may not perform well as loud individuals who act as warriors. Of course, these are just simple examples of professions for us, but it’s more about the style of performing each of these professions. Each of us will find our calling, but nowadays there is a very wide range of opportunities and we can run an online business or company even from our own apartment. The fact that I run a blog probably also stems largely from the fact that I am a highly sensitive person—that’s why I’m doing so well at it.

The Highly Sensitive Person — a groundbreaking book

This book literally changes how you perceive your life. The author, who is a psychotherapist and also a highly sensitive person, shows in this book exactly what high sensitivity is and how to deal with it. This is a mandatory reading for all highly sensitive people—the awareness of who you are and the knowledge of how to cope in difficult situations completely changes your approach to yourself. After reading this book, I gained a certain kind of enlightenment and stopped tormenting myself and denying my high sensitivity. I have understood and accepted who I am as a person. I stopped pretending to be someone I wasn’t in front of others and started taking care of myself, because I realized who I am and what is good for me.

Reading alone, of course, does not change the world around you and you will still be attacked by various stimuli. However, once you understand who you are, you will be able to look at yourself and your emotions from a bit of a distance. This is the power of knowledge that allows to better control emotions and response to the external world. Knowing the mechanisms of how highly sensitive individuals operate, you can consciously avoid negative situations and effectively cope with overload of stimuli.

I keep my fingers crossed for you. Let me know what your impressions are.

1
00:00:01,040 –> 00:00:02,399
High sensitivity.

2
00:00:02,400 –> 00:00:04,757
What is it?
How to deal with it?

3
00:00:04,758 –> 00:00:09,879
And a short test for high sensitivity –
are you a highly sensitive person?

4
00:00:09,880 –> 00:00:14,643
All based on the book “The Highly
Sensitive Person” by Elaine Aron.

5
00:00:14,644 –> 00:00:19,842
I’m making this video, because
I showed this book on a livestream –

6
00:00:19,843 –> 00:00:23,270
this book is very important to me –

7
00:00:23,271 –> 00:00:27,942
and a few people wrote that
this book has changed their lives.

8
00:00:27,943 –> 00:00:32,959
I want to help people
who may identify with this topic,

9
00:00:32,960 –> 00:00:35,799
to understand it better.

10
00:00:35,800 –> 00:00:40,000
First of all, at the start
let’s make a short test

11
00:00:40,001 –> 00:00:44,639
on being a highly sensitive person
and then we’ll get to the topic.

12
00:00:44,640 –> 00:00:47,214
I’m going to ask you some questions.

13
00:00:47,215 –> 00:00:50,729
If you answer yes
and identify with these answers,

14
00:00:50,730 –> 00:00:53,471
then you’re a highly sensitive person.

15
00:00:53,472 –> 00:00:57,643
Do you notice various subtle
details of your surroundings?

16
00:00:57,644 –> 00:01:03,056
The mood of others greatly affects you –
both positive and negative one

17
00:01:03,057 –> 00:01:06,879
has a large impact on your
well-being and mood?

18
00:01:06,880 –> 00:01:12,014
After a hard day, you need
moments just for yourself to relax

19
00:01:12,015 –> 00:01:16,079
and you feel good on
a very though of having this time?

20
00:01:16,080 –> 00:01:19,799
Do you have a very complicated inner life?

21
00:01:19,800 –> 00:01:25,439
Loud noises, many stimuli
make you extremely uncomfortable?

22
00:01:25,440 –> 00:01:30,879
A lot of tasks to be done, an excess of
tasks to be done make you feel shaky?

23
00:01:30,880 –> 00:01:35,999
You don’t like doing a lot of things
at once, you can’t focus and panic?

24
00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:39,914
You don’t like competition
and being watched by people,

25
00:01:39,915 –> 00:01:45,119
as you don’t perform well,
so you prefer to work alone by your rules?

26
00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:50,142
In childhood, you were perceived as
a highly sensitive person

27
00:01:50,143 –> 00:01:53,014
and many people have told you that?

28
00:01:53,015 –> 00:01:59,439
If you identify with these questions,
you’re probably highly sensitive person.

29
00:01:59,440 –> 00:02:02,700
What is a highly sensitive person?

30
00:02:02,701 –> 00:02:06,443
Elaine Aron in her book
“The Highly Sensitive Person”

31
00:02:06,444 –> 00:02:12,214
claims that 20% of our society
is highly sensitive, which is a lot.

32
00:02:12,215 –> 00:02:14,719
20% is really a lot.

33
00:02:14,720 –> 00:02:17,529
So, what is a highly sensitive person?

34
00:02:17,530 –> 00:02:21,599
You may think that it’s
an oversensitive person who cries

35
00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:25,843
when something happens and it’s hard
for them – you’re wrong.

36
00:02:25,844 –> 00:02:31,129
It’s a type of person, in terms of
the build of nervous system,

37
00:02:31,130 –> 00:02:35,719
who is sensitive for all kinds of stimuli
from the surroundings.

38
00:02:35,720 –> 00:02:39,500
Whether they’re sounds,
excess of tasks to do,

39
00:02:39,501 –> 00:02:43,543
encountered people, smells, etc.

40
00:02:43,544 –> 00:02:49,586
Everything from outside
what our head perceives.

41
00:02:49,587 –> 00:02:56,239
Highly sensitive people feel
overwhelmed by an excess of stimuli.

42
00:02:56,240 –> 00:03:02,943
There’s a limen, a threshold for stimuli
when you’re a highly sensitive person.

43
00:03:02,944 –> 00:03:07,271
Let’s say that average people
have a threshold of sensitivity

44
00:03:07,272 –> 00:03:09,357
set at some average level.

45
00:03:09,358 –> 00:03:13,814
It’s not a clear line of separation of
sensitive and average,

46
00:03:13,815 –> 00:03:15,657
but rather a parabola.

47
00:03:15,658 –> 00:03:19,871
However, highly sensitive people
have a raised threshold.

48
00:03:19,872 –> 00:03:26,671
Some level of noise, amount of work,
things to do, smells, people around, etc.,

49
00:03:26,672 –> 00:03:31,971
is unbearable for these people,
in contrast to others.

50
00:03:31,972 –> 00:03:37,559
At this point, if a highly sensitive
person has this excess of stimuli,

51
00:03:37,560 –> 00:03:42,757
then it feels greatly overwhelmed
by the excess of

52
00:03:42,758 –> 00:03:48,679
stimuli, tasks,
smells, noise, light, etc.

53
00:03:48,680 –> 00:03:52,682
It results in many
negative ways for this person,

54
00:03:52,683 –> 00:03:58,642
because you can break down
and be overwhelmed

55
00:03:58,643 –> 00:04:02,839
or a very upsetting feelings
connected with this.

56
00:04:02,840 –> 00:04:08,414
The whole problem is that
we often don’t understand why it happens.

57
00:04:08,415 –> 00:04:13,759
That’s because highly sensitive people
often put themselves in situations

58
00:04:13,760 –> 00:04:18,671
connected with work, private life,
going out to loud places,

59
00:04:18,672 –> 00:04:24,086
working in them or generally
hanging out with very loud people.

60
00:04:24,087 –> 00:04:29,471
All this make highly sensitive people
feel overwhelmed and bad.

61
00:04:29,472 –> 00:04:35,486
They sense the moods of others,
some subtle things in their surroundings.

62
00:04:35,487 –> 00:04:41,057
And if you’re a highly sensitive person,
but you don’t even know it,

63
00:04:41,058 –> 00:04:45,120
then it can have very bad effects on you.

64
00:04:45,121 –> 00:04:50,971
That is, you don’t understand yourself,
feel that there’s something wrong with you

65
00:04:50,972 –> 00:04:54,557
and the excess of stimuli
causes you to break down,

66
00:04:54,558 –> 00:04:57,114
so your organism must defend itself.

67
00:04:57,115 –> 00:05:00,914
The author of this book –
a psychotherapist –

68
00:05:00,915 –> 00:05:04,143
describes that
many people came to her,

69
00:05:04,144 –> 00:05:08,386
claiming that there’s something
very wrong with them.

70
00:05:08,387 –> 00:05:13,157
It turned out that these people
were overwhelmed by various stimuli

71
00:05:13,158 –> 00:05:18,271
and they were unable to function,
as they didn’t understand themselves.

72
00:05:18,272 –> 00:05:22,314
Now, if you understand
what is high sensitivity –

73
00:05:22,315 –> 00:05:26,729
that is, an excess of stimuli
makes you overwhelmed –

74
00:05:26,730 –> 00:05:31,800
and know that a large percentage
of the population is highly sensitive,

75
00:05:31,801 –> 00:05:34,957
and that a knowledge
about it is available,

76
00:05:34,958 –> 00:05:39,529
then the next question is –
how to deal with a high sensitivity?

77
00:05:39,530 –> 00:05:43,000
First of all, you need to
understand who you are.

78
00:05:43,001 –> 00:05:47,600
You should gain knowledge from
videos, articles or books

79
00:05:47,601 –> 00:05:51,829
and if you understand
what kind of person you are,

80
00:05:51,830 –> 00:05:56,159
then it’s the first step
to improving your situation.

81
00:05:56,160 –> 00:06:02,228
By understanding who you are,
you don’t perceive yourself as a weirdo,

82
00:06:02,229 –> 00:06:07,119
but you know what’s wrong with you
and you try to change it.

83
00:06:07,120 –> 00:06:11,956
Once you understand that
you’re a highly sensitive person,

84
00:06:11,957 –> 00:06:15,239
aside from
the very fact of accepting it,

85
00:06:15,240 –> 00:06:20,520
what to do to simply feel better,
to cope with this affliction?

86
00:06:20,521 –> 00:06:23,414
Although you should call it a trait.

87
00:06:23,415 –> 00:06:29,457
First of all, if a mood of others
affects you very strongly,

88
00:06:29,458 –> 00:06:34,320
try not to stay with such people
or use your skill.

89
00:06:34,321 –> 00:06:38,919
Above all, you need to
spend a lot of time on resting.

90
00:06:38,920 –> 00:06:43,457
Because if a lot of stimuli
reaches your nervous system,

91
00:06:43,458 –> 00:06:45,840
what will happen to you?

92
00:06:45,841 –> 00:06:51,300
Unless you live in the forest,
then you need to take time to rest.

93
00:06:51,301 –> 00:06:56,929
It’s the main, basic principle –
after a hard day, take time to rest,

94
00:06:56,930 –> 00:07:03,414
often in solitude, or go for a walk,
or you can also do a calm work.

95
00:07:03,415 –> 00:07:08,571
It can be your hobby, gardening,
walking in the woods or park,

96
00:07:08,572 –> 00:07:10,543
listening to music, etc.

97
00:07:10,544 –> 00:07:15,300
The idea is to rest and understand
that you need leisure time.

98
00:07:15,301 –> 00:07:20,343
You can’t work for 14 hours,
jump into bed for 6 hours and work again,

99
00:07:20,344 –> 00:07:26,457
as you’ll break down after a few days,
if you’re a highly sensitive person.

100
00:07:26,458 –> 00:07:29,486
What else? You need a lot of sleep.

101
00:07:29,487 –> 00:07:33,300
Try to avoid being exposed
to the excess of stimuli.

102
00:07:33,301 –> 00:07:36,643
So, if you work in a loud,
chaotic place,

103
00:07:36,644 –> 00:07:41,171
then as a highly sensitive person,
you just won’t do well there.

104
00:07:41,172 –> 00:07:44,671
That’s a fact,
no matter what your occupation is.

105
00:07:44,672 –> 00:07:47,986
Unfortunately, you may
need to change your job.

106
00:07:47,987 –> 00:07:51,543
But let’s assume that
you’re a graphic designer –

107
00:07:51,544 –> 00:07:55,900
instead of working in the
noisy office where you can’t focus,

108
00:07:55,901 –> 00:07:59,514
then you should consider
working from home.

109
00:07:59,515 –> 00:08:03,086
In this way,
you work in silence and peace.

110
00:08:03,087 –> 00:08:08,713
Not only you’ll feel better,
but also you’ll be much more effective,

111
00:08:08,714 –> 00:08:12,843
able to do more and make more money –
it’s very important.

112
00:08:12,844 –> 00:08:17,457
Another thing, after understanding
what kind of person you are,

113
00:08:17,458 –> 00:08:23,159
is to adjust your surroundings to your
personality – not the other way around.

114
00:08:23,160 –> 00:08:28,119
That’s because by understanding
that the excess of stimuli affects you,

115
00:08:28,120 –> 00:08:32,929
you should consider changing your
workplace and people around you.

116
00:08:32,930 –> 00:08:36,771
After a hard day at work,
with lots of stimuli,

117
00:08:36,772 –> 00:08:39,900
going to a party
will be disastrous for you,

118
00:08:39,901 –> 00:08:43,214
as you’ll get tired
and won’t be able to rest.

119
00:08:43,215 –> 00:08:47,471
Maybe it’s worth to replace
the people you hang out

120
00:08:47,472 –> 00:08:53,299
for people who are not so loud
and try to spend a free time

121
00:08:53,300 –> 00:08:57,357
in a calm, subtle manner
and often alone.

122
00:08:59,520 –> 00:09:03,000
And now the question –
because you may think that

123
00:09:03,001 –> 00:09:06,786
a high sensitivity is a bad thing,
a negative trait.

124
00:09:06,787 –> 00:09:10,571
It can be a negative one,
if you don’t understand it

125
00:09:10,572 –> 00:09:15,057
and you force yourself to do things
which are not good for you.

126
00:09:15,058 –> 00:09:21,557
That’s because in a very extrovert world
you will be pushed by your surroundings

127
00:09:21,558 –> 00:09:27,200
to a multitasking, holding a phone
and typing on keyboard at once,

128
00:09:27,201 –> 00:09:29,871
chaos, going out, etc.

129
00:09:29,872 –> 00:09:33,800
No – you have to understand
that this is a trait.

130
00:09:33,801 –> 00:09:39,286
And if you understand what it is,
you’re able to turn it into your strength.

131
00:09:39,287 –> 00:09:43,657
Resign from the tiring things,
that is, an excess of stimuli,

132
00:09:43,658 –> 00:09:49,686
maybe change your occupation and use
this high sensitivity in your career,

133
00:09:49,687 –> 00:09:53,629
in a work where
you’ll be able to do a good job.

134
00:09:53,630 –> 00:09:58,357
There are occupations
suitable for highly sensitive people.

135
00:09:58,358 –> 00:10:01,760
In this book, it’s described
in a very cool way

136
00:10:01,800 –> 00:10:06,243
that even though highly sensitive
people back in the old days

137
00:10:06,244 –> 00:10:12,200
weren’t hired on top positions,
like, a king can’t be highly sensitive,

138
00:10:12,201 –> 00:10:18,457
but his advisor, who sees all the details,
subtly senses moods,

139
00:10:18,458 –> 00:10:22,960
understands how everything works,
is able to be a great advisor

140
00:10:22,960 –> 00:10:27,129
and excel in advisory
occupations, for example.

141
00:10:27,130 –> 00:10:33,356
Fortunately, nowadays in the age of
the Internet and the flow of information,

142
00:10:33,357 –> 00:10:35,360
you can work as a freelancer.

143
00:10:35,361 –> 00:10:38,479
That is, you can
work from home, remotely.

144
00:10:38,480 –> 00:10:41,486
Thousands of new professions
have emerged,

145
00:10:41,487 –> 00:10:45,257
which are greatly adapted for
highly sensitive people.

146
00:10:45,258 –> 00:10:49,643
Like being a graphic designer
or running an online business.

147
00:10:49,644 –> 00:10:54,171
My blog is about an online business
and it’s not a coincidence.

148
00:10:54,172 –> 00:10:57,671
Only after some time had I realized
that the fact

149
00:10:57,672 –> 00:11:03,240
that I deal with books – love them,
publish, run an online business and blog –

150
00:11:03,241 –> 00:11:05,729
was caused by my high sensitivity.

151
00:11:05,730 –> 00:11:12,040
Now, you, as a highly sensitive person,
can work from home as a freelancer.

152
00:11:12,040 –> 00:11:14,429
No matter what you’re doing.

153
00:11:14,430 –> 00:11:20,199
If you’re in the office, tell your boss
that you want to spend 1-2 days a week

154
00:11:20,200 –> 00:11:22,014
working from home.

155
00:11:22,015 –> 00:11:27,271
Explain that you’ll be more productive
and it’ll be good for your employer.

156
00:11:27,272 –> 00:11:32,356
Or if you are in any profession,
like you have an online business

157
00:11:32,357 –> 00:11:34,920
you can work in solitude.

158
00:11:34,960 –> 00:11:39,280
You’ll do more, feel better
and try to work at home.

159
00:11:39,281 –> 00:11:45,714
There are all sorts of occupations
better suited for highly sensitive people.

160
00:11:45,715 –> 00:11:49,186
You can be an artist –
not an easy one –

161
00:11:49,187 –> 00:11:55,657
advisor, maybe a teacher or be active
in the religious sphere, counseling, etc.

162
00:11:55,658 –> 00:12:00,079
As a highly sensitive person,
you can excel in many professions.

163
00:12:00,080 –> 00:12:04,300
And vice versa – average people
will fail in these areas.

164
00:12:04,301 –> 00:12:07,671
Not highly sensitive
and very extroverted person

165
00:12:07,672 –> 00:12:12,671
will have difficulties in an occupation
for highly sensitive people.

166
00:12:12,672 –> 00:12:15,920
It work both ways
and remember that you should

167
00:12:15,960 –> 00:12:21,556
look for your place in life
and try to customize your surroundings,

168
00:12:21,557 –> 00:12:28,040
change it, so that you can feel good
as a highly sensitive person.

169
00:12:28,041 –> 00:12:33,929
If you’re a highly sensitive person,
I recommend you an online business.

170
00:12:33,930 –> 00:12:37,171
That’s because you can work from home.

171
00:12:37,172 –> 00:12:42,356
Or even video recording is great for
highly sensitive people,

172
00:12:42,357 –> 00:12:45,500
which is a great profession for them.

173
00:12:45,501 –> 00:12:50,814
Running a YouTube channel,
a blog or any kind of online business.

174
00:12:50,815 –> 00:12:54,129
You’ll be able to
find something for yourself.

175
00:12:54,130 –> 00:12:57,958
To sum up, when it comes to
highly sensitive people,

176
00:12:57,959 –> 00:13:01,329
take the test again –
it’s available on my blog.

177
00:13:01,330 –> 00:13:04,686
You’ll find out if you have this trait.

178
00:13:04,687 –> 00:13:10,443
I recommend checking out “The Highly
Sensitive Person” by Elaine Aron.

179
00:13:10,444 –> 00:13:15,543
Great book. I bought it last year
in October, a day before the premiere.

180
00:13:15,544 –> 00:13:18,914
The lady in Empik
found it in a warehouse.

181
00:13:18,915 –> 00:13:24,729
It had been available only in English
before, so I couldn’t quite understand it.

182
00:13:24,730 –> 00:13:26,771
Remember to take a test.

183
00:13:26,772 –> 00:13:31,629
You should understand
that you’re a highly sensitive person

184
00:13:31,630 –> 00:13:37,971
and gain info about it – you can check
article on my blog, link in description.

185
00:13:37,972 –> 00:13:43,186
The very understanding gives you
a great relief and after reading a book,

186
00:13:43,187 –> 00:13:46,759
knowing the basics of
how high sensitivity works,

187
00:13:46,760 –> 00:13:49,329
I cured myself of this problem.

188
00:13:49,330 –> 00:13:53,143
That’s because I felt that
something is wrong with me,

189
00:13:53,144 –> 00:13:57,186
that I’m maladapted,
but after understanding this topic

190
00:13:57,187 –> 00:14:01,786
I felt such a relief
that my life has literally changed.

191
00:14:01,787 –> 00:14:06,114
I understood who I am
and what kind of person I am.

192
00:14:06,115 –> 00:14:11,186
Once you understand this,
then you can start taking actions

193
00:14:11,187 –> 00:14:15,600
aimed to gradually change
our surroundings in terms of

194
00:14:15,601 –> 00:14:21,329
the people you hang out with,
leisure activities, work, rest, etc.

195
00:14:21,330 –> 00:14:25,229
And that’s another step
to change your life.

196
00:14:25,230 –> 00:14:29,743
If you’re feeling that
something is wrong in your life

197
00:14:29,744 –> 00:14:34,057
and the test confirmed
that you’re a highly sensitive person,

198
00:14:34,058 –> 00:14:40,880
you can start finding a cure for problems
you’ve struggled with since childhood.

199
00:14:40,881 –> 00:14:43,486
And that’s the purpose of this video.

200
00:14:43,487 –> 00:14:48,457
Thanks to all the people who reached out
to me, asking for this book.

201
00:14:48,458 –> 00:14:53,714
I’m recording this video because of you
and I hope that I’ll help you,

202
00:14:53,715 –> 00:14:57,486
that it’ll help many people
to understand themselves.

203
00:14:57,487 –> 00:15:02,971
As it’s the daily struggle in our lives –
dealing with difficult situations

204
00:15:02,972 –> 00:15:05,486
and seeking answers to who we are.

205
00:15:05,487 –> 00:15:09,843
And if you find the answer
to this question,

206
00:15:09,844 –> 00:15:12,971
that’s when you find happiness.

207
00:15:12,972 –> 00:15:16,600
