Besides, I'm out of this discussion since everyone just ignores my responses.

Thank you.
Ive never really read about HSP but I have used the word "sensitive" for people for long time. I always thought that it meant that sensitive people "just had more feelings".

HSP seems familiar when I read about it:
Several of the questions in Elaine Aron's HSP Self-test aim specifically to assess the quality of inter-personal sensitivity in the test taker.

* "When people are uncomfortable in a physical environment I tend to know what needs to be done to make it more comfortable (like changing the lighting or the seating)"
* "Other people's moods affect me."

HSP's generally score high on these items. This is significant because other human beings, their actions, and expressions of emotion are processed with the same depth of detail and attention to nuance that characterizes all HSP processing

Emotion researchers inform us that up to 90% of all emotional communication is done non-verbally.

Human beings communicate their feelings, not just with words, but through tone of voice, volume, speed of speech, turn-taking, pattern of eye contact, facial expression, body posture, hand gestures, changes in color (such as blushing or paling), and more subtly still by physiological changes in breathing or heart rate which may be perceptible to a highly attuned observer (Schore, 2005).

I notice things about people others dont. I always thought those signs were crazy stuff so I mostly ignored them. I still dont trust them all the time. Its always possible that Im reading the signs wrong so I have to be careful. But if Im not there is always som interesting "secret" stuff that I can see in people and social situations.

Ive used this few times with my friends and they were amazed by it. We talked how I should become a psychogolist because I always wanted to study it and Im good at reading people.

But thanks anyways Im gonna read more on this HSP. Interesting stuff.
