hey there's like two colors let's begin
another journey towards understanding
everyday psychology better are you among
those who consider sensitivity a
weakness if so that might not be
entirely true a person can be both
sensitive and strong at the same time
some of them might even be what is known
as a highly sensitive person someone who
perceives things at a much deeper level
and so they experience feelings and
sensations much more intensely than
others highly sensitive people make up
15 to 20 percent of everyone all over
the world and even rare are those who
are both HSPs and have a strong
personality are you curious if you might
be one of them well here are eight signs
you're a highly sensitive person with a
strong personality one you stand up for
what's right you find it difficult to
turn a blind eye when someone wrongs
another being in HSP you have a strong
sense of right and wrong and you're not
afraid to stand up for what you believe
it it's easy for you to relate to how
other people are feeling and put
yourself in their shoes so when you see
someone being mistreated or mocked in
any way you're the first to jump in and
protect them - you are a natural leader
your friends and family all turned to
you for advice often or simply follow
your lead when they don't know what to
do next you don't try to steal the
spotlight or take charge of the
situation but for some reason you
usually have leadership positions thrust
upon you by others a lot of people are
drawn to your strong personality because
you're confident assertive and
self-assured
but being in HSP you're also more
empathetic and great at communicating
which are all crucial elements of
effective leadership and you're a deep
thinker so others know that they can
trust you to make the right decisions
and you're always encouraging and
helping them to do the
best three you are a great mediator one
of the greatest strengths of your
sensitivity is that it makes you great
at mediating and resolving conflict
while most HSPs feel uncomfortable about
confrontations you don't let it
intimidate you because you have a strong
personality you can't stand tension of
any kind between your loved ones so you
make it your job to get to the bottom of
things and come up with the best
resolution for the situation at hand
you're able to set your personal
feelings aside to help your friends and
family work out their differences by
getting them to hear each other out and
come to an understanding for you think
things through do you find it hard to
come to a decision without completely
thinking things through first is it
second nature for you to consider every
possible angle and probable outcome of a
situation you think long and hard about
what you want what other people want and
what's best for everyone involved you're
thorough analytical and strategic with
every move you make being in HSP you
make sure to think about how your words
and actions will affect those around you
but you also don't let other people's
personal agendas sway your opinions and
cloud your judgment 5 you always tell
the truth you do your best to be as
truthful as you can be with yourself and
those around you you're not afraid to
speak your mind but you do it in a
gentle and most considerate way you tell
your loved ones what they need to hear
even if it's hard you call people out
when you feel that they can benefit from
it and you're never fake with your words
or your friendliness 6 you are an active
listener most people don't really take
the time to listen to one another they
simply think about what they're gonna
say and wait for their turn to talk but
not you you really take the time to
listen and understand what the other
person is trying to say because you know
how nice it is to be heard
you're heightened sensitivity allows you
to pick up on the subtleness of their
words movements and facial expressions
to get a better understanding of what
they really mean you use your strengths
to keep your composure and stay
reassuring them
positive 7 you are fiercely independent
all highly sensitive people need time
alone to recharge and collect their
thoughts you can't function properly if
you're not given the personal space you
need to process everything that's going
on you like to work on your own because
you're more productive that way you know
what you want and you go after it
relentlessly but at your own pace you
don't need anyone telling you what to do
or how to do it and 8 you want
meaningful relationships do you crave
meaningful relationships in your life if
so there's a very good chance you're an
HSP with a strong personality
you don't want casual friends to make
meaningless small chocolate just for the
comfort of having someone to talk to
it's important to you that you connect
with people on an emotional level and
feel comfortable enough to share a laugh
with them call them up after a breakup
or to have a late night conversation
with about your dreams in life then
you're not happy settling for anything
less while it may not seem like it at
first glance sensitivity and strength
actually go hand-in-hand
being an HSP makes you more
introspective and empathetic while
having a strong personality makes you
more open courageous and tenacious so if
you're lucky enough to be blessed with
both never lose sight of it because to
be soft and strong all at once is a rare
and beautiful gift many of us can only
hope to have do you know any HSPs around
you can you now differentiate their
personality or do you find these points
relevant to your own personality type do
