"When most people enter a room, they may notice furniture and individuals, and for ordinary people this is all, and those with anaphylaxis are immediately aware of the prevailing mood of the place, friendships and passions, the air being fired or not, Who arranged the flowers "
(The person is overly sensitive: how to survive the difficult circumstances of the world, Dr. Ellen N. Aaron)
If you always feel alienated from others and are labeled shy, introverted, and upset by the news of war and conflict, scenes of violence in the movies cause you to be tense, and loud parties find an unbearable hell. If these situations express you, Of the world's population is highly sensitive (HSP).
This attribute is associated with hyper-sensitivity of the nervous system. The person who is hypersensitive is a person who undergoes high levels of sensory processing and acute responses to various influences, including: external influences, such as surrounds of sounds, lights and other persons, or internal influences such as your feelings and thoughts. The difference in the composition of his nervous system.1 In a study conducted in 2014 at the University of Stony Brook found that the parts associated with consciousness and emotion in the brain flows more blood in people who are allergic to others. Among these, the part known as the central nervous system, which is strongly associated with the emotional response, is a physical evidence that their minds respond more to emotional social attitudes.
The distinguishing features of people are hypersensitive
Scientists have studied the traits of hypersensitivity in humans and animals for more than 20 years. They summed up the common experience of hypersensitive people in a number of common features. Dr. Aileen Aaron chose to focus on four of them in her best-selling book, "The Person Is Hypersensitive: Hard world ":
In-depth treatment: People who are overly sensitive handle everything more deeply, whether information, feelings or experiences, connect them to what they have previously experienced and compare, and examine things from all sides, which makes their intuition strong.
* Hyper stimulation and excitation: They may be upset by loudness, loud sounds, bright lights or emotional situations, which makes them overly responsive to these stimuli.
Emotional response: In a study of a group of hypersensitive people and others who were exposed to a variety of images of people expressing different feelings, such as sadness, happiness, etc., hypersensitive people showed greater activity in the area of the neuron and the anus. When we see someone doing something or passing through a passion, these neurons are stimulated to stimulate the other person's nerve cells. In other words, a person who is hypersensitive not only knows what others feel but feels what they feel.
* Awareness of fine details: Reacts with extreme sensitivity to the fine details that may pass on others and are characterized by their keen awareness towards them. For example, when they talk to someone, their responses are based not only on what the other person says, but on the subtle physical and nonverbal signals that others may not recognize.
How do people distinguish hypersensitivity?
According to these four features, people with hypersensitivity are some of the qualities you can distinguish from, including:
* They hate all forms of violence and cruelty: Most people hate violence and cruelty, but those who are insensitive find it very difficult to see or hear things related to violence. For example, they hate the bloody or violent scenes in films and newsletters.
* Emotional fatigue associated with the absorption of the feelings of others: The person is hypersensitive to absorb the feelings around him to a large extent, it is similar to sponge that can absorb all the surrounding effects. He may be able to discern the mood of the people surrounding him as soon as he enters the place, due to his sharp awareness of the minute detail of the revelations such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body expressions that others may miss without being aware of. With his sympathetic nature that qualifies him to feel for others, he often suffers from repeated emotional stress.
Being out of the crowd: Being in a crowded place, under loud lighting or noisy noise can overwhelm their sensitive nervous system, making crowded social gatherings and events unbearable for them, requiring them to withdraw from time to time away from those stimuli. , And asked for some rest.
* Easily cheat: If someone puts his hand on the back of a hypersensitive person or hears a sudden loud sound, they may jump into the air. Because of the sensitivity of their nervous system to stimuli, their reactions in these situations may be acute and exaggerated from the perspective of others.
* Drowning in deep thinking: hypersensitive tend to manipulate experiences and information in depth, which makes them sink into vortex of deep thinking, and rethink the positions over and over again. They also ask deep questions about the universe and the world around them.
* Affected by clothing: Some types of coarse fabrics may raise their sense, as may be disturbed by uncomfortable narrow clothes.
* Their ability to tolerate pain is less: Due to their intense sensitivity, their ability to tolerate physical pain is lower than others.
* Do not like change and can not easily adapt to it: People with hypersensitivity prefer a regular daily routine, as this prevents them from being exposed to more new stimuli, so change changes them with tension. Therefore, they do not feel comfortable while traveling. While traveling to a coastal city may be a nice holiday, it may put them under great pressure in the face of new excitement.
* Most of them are sensitive to stimuli: Due to their natural sensitivity to stimuli, drinks such as caffeine and alcohol may strain their sensitive nervous system by nature, unless they are used to it.
Hypersensitivity means that facing an unforgiving world without shield protects you, which may lead you to face difficult times
A blessing or a curse?
Hypersensitivity is a personal trait, not a disease that needs to be treated. It may be an important advantage if the individual and those around him deal with it. On the plus side, people with hypersensitivity have a strong intuition that makes them powerful and visionary because of their ability to observe what minute details are not noticed, and what follows is a deep and unique treatment that enables them to link past and present events and anticipate the consequences of Introductions. In addition to their empathy, which enables them to understand the needs of others, so many become artists, writers, therapists and creative.
But on the negative side, they suffer from severe exhaustion due to their acute response to stimuli, which are normal for others, but they cause them a kind of psychological closure, known as transient inhibition, a kind of congenital inhibition that develops with the long excitation of the nervous system under severe signals (Where the signal is stronger, the reflex is stronger), because the neurons have a certain degree of operability, and in the case of excessive arousal, they stop Cells Endodontic, which protects them from fatigue, which makes people hypersensitive need to spend their own times and isolated from other influences sensory surroundings.

According to Dr. Ted Zieff, a psychologist and author of "The Insider's Guide to Survival," hypersensitivity means that the unforgiving world faces a shield that protects you, which may lead you to face difficult times. (8) We are naturally affected by the nature of the education we received and the way in which others received their qualities.
Some children are born as an allergic reaction, but they wear off over time as they are subjected to family pressure that may impair their behavior. Care for an overly sensitive child needs a high degree of awareness to deal with his overactive nervous system. If the family treats the child intelligently, he or she will grow up and thrive in his community with his natural sympathy, but if he is faced with discouraging words such as "cohesion" or "stop crying "He will feel something abnormal or wrong, which may lead him to anxiety, depression and sensitivity to criticism.
