What it’s like to be hypersensitive on a daily basis,
a thread
(I hope this thread will help some to understand themselves better and hopefully make others more empathetic) You can RT for awareness as a lot of people never heard of this

Disclaimer: you don’t need to have all these to be hypersensitive but a big majority of them. There’s probably some things I forgot or don’t know of
Hypersensitives have stronger emotions than others and are living them in a very different (an extremely intense way) It makes it really difficult for their friends/family to understand them
Being hypersensitive often means you developed a different way to function. Your emotions are strong. You can explode with joy easily and start to be sad/frustrated suddenly. A simple thing can make you super happy, but it’s also easy for you to get caught in negative emotions
It also means a lot of tears for some. You can cry without knowing why or even for some reasons that will appear silly to others. You can cry in public because you’re just not able to contain it.
Guilt, fear or anxiety can be intrusive and force you to stop what you’re doing. It can be hard for someone that is hypersensitive to stop the intrusive thoughts in their mind. Thoughts can be impossible to let go and begin to be worst and worst.
You will feel what others feel. You can put yourself in their shoes very easily and know what people think/feel/live before they tell you. It’s very easy for you to detect, analyse and identify other’s emotions.
It’s super easy to notice when someone is actually listening to you or when someone is lost in their head. You can know when the person you’re talking to is dynamic in a discussion or not.
Hypersensitive people have the ability to make connections between an event and someone’s emotions. You know why someone is jealous, mad, upset, scared without even thinking about it. The answer just comes to you because your brain was developed that way.
The gut feeling hypersensitives have is more often true than the opposite. You don’t need to spend that much time with someone to know them a lot because you’re analyzing them without even thinking about it.
You want to understand everything around you so you’re asking yourself a lot of questions. Again, it makes thoughts super intrusive, numerous and intense. It can put a weigh on your shoulders because you can start to doubt yourself and (sometimes) begin to be very depressed.
You need profound and sincere relationships. It’s hard for you to do ‘’small talk’’ because of that, which is something most human beings do when they meet for the first time. Therefore, it’s hard for you to meet new people, to give your trust and to start conversations
with people. It can even drain A LOT of your energy and leave you tired. Why? Because your inner self was asking itself a ton of questions during the whole thing
It doesn’t mean you can’t tolerate ANY ‘’superficial’’ relationships but you also need more intense ones
It doesn’t mean you can’t tolerate ANY ‘’superficial’’ relationships but you also need more intense ones
You’re searching for the meaning of everything you’re doing, from the path you’re taking in life to the silliest things. ‘’Am I bringing something to the universe?’’ for example.
You’re absorbing the energy of others. That is in real life and online as well. When you’re with someone that is sad, it’s hard for you not to get sad too, especially when it’s someone you love. When you read negative things on internet for a while, it can bring you down a lot
I’m doing this thread because I’m seeing a lot of people pretending they know what should affect a human being or not. I’m sorry, but some people just function differently and I think we should all accept that 
Also, I didn’t know I was hypersensitive before I turned 18

and knowing helped me a lot to feel better about it. I recommend watching YT videos like ‘’the strengths of hypersensitives’’ or other kinds of explanations.
