➀【Dialogue and conversation】

The people of HSP choose words carefully.

Because of their prudence, they wonder what he or she think and if he or she would feel uncomfortable.

Due to their sharp sympathy, they consider too deeply what he and she means and how he and she feels.

So, it is difficult to respond immediately and to choose the right words. Consequently, they cannot say any single word.

Therefore, the other people have an impression like “I cannot understand what he/she is thinking” and “it’s hard to communicate with him/her”.

➁【Work too hard

The people of HSP are always less confidence with themselves.

They wonder if “I am doing right thing”, “This isn’t wrong”, and “I’m not disliked”.

To conceal such concerns, they try to become excellent by setting a high standard.

Nevertheless, their concerns won’t disappear even if they receive any good evaluation.

This is because it is endless for them to become perfect.

As a consequence of working too hard, their worn heart and mentality might be liked to mental disorder such as “depression”.

➂【Tend to feel sense of sin

When the people of HSP do something subtle to a person, they consider it very seriously even if he or she doesn’t care much for it.

Because they have very strong responsibility and empathy to others in their mind, once they think “he or she now gets his/her heart hurt”, a strong sympathy wells in their heart and they feel too much sense of sin.

➃【Too scared

Many of the HSP people always feel fear for something.

When they go to where they’ve never visited, when they meet others first time, and when they do what they haven’t experienced before, because they are careful and have an abundant imagination, they consider several possibilities that not only good things, but also bad things would happen.

Moreover, due to their sensitivity they perceive it strongly and they become exhausted with what doesn’t affect others.

Fear is for protecting themselves and an excessive fear bears unnecessary stress for relatively secure situation in which we are not exposed in danger of death.

When such condition lasts for a long time, their nerve will lose the balance.

➄【Anger and dispute

Anger and dispute need much of energy.

The people of HSP don’t like such anger and dispute because their sensitive nerves could be disturbed intensively.

And, because they have strong empathy, they try to avoid making anybody feel uncomfortable and having any dispute. Even if they have some complain, they don’t tell it.

However, when the accumulated complain comes to overflow, they cease consideration that they often perform in their mind.

Then, they don’t feel any empathy for others and explode their anger, which astonishes the others and suddenly they become quiet and shut any relationship with the others out.

And, because they are basically very sensitive and feel intense empathy, it takes long time to recover from the sense of sin and shame that they hurt the others and they became upset.
