Is it a personality type or a disorder?
I always considered myself as a sick person with obsessive compulsive disorder and an anxious impatient freak, who the older gets, the weirder becomes. Specially socially. I was listening to those podcasts all night, as I can’t sleep and just discovered it as a nice way to calm down my senses and focus on something else than my actual problem. I am amazed, I am relieved, I am feeling lighter to know I’m not a psycho freak that can’t watch tv or listen to music or not be in control or can’t stand the water drops sound coming from the tap in the middle of the night! I am a 100% HSP with sounds and my marriage was ruined because of the total lack of understanding to my needs of “silence". I couldn’t stand this concrete wall in my husbands brain that didn’t let him become more understanding to my emotions (I’m not a crying drama queen at all and I’m selectively sensitive to others pain - I feel empathy to animals - big time, not humans at all, as I don’t really like humans. But I respect their needs. So for example - I really can’t watch Animal Planet at all - I would cry for sure, but seeing war and dead people, children crying or sty - it doesn’t bother me at all, except the sound of crying baby that makes me want to kill it. And with my dog - I know every emotion of hers, every sound, every move meaning. I feel her to the max, what was and is totally impossible for my husband to experience as he has no clue what does a dog want... Same with me, no clue when to hugg me, or when to leave me. He thinks I’m a robot with a stone instead of heart. And he forces himself all the time to hurt me more to make me notice him, which is ridiculous - it’s horrible. He was and is so blind to see who I really am. Thank you for realising me that it all happens to others and I just need to find a way to work, live and love with the right places, job and people to be happy:) DeeRead full review »
