Highly sensitive people are strongly influenced by the events and atmosphere around them, which makes it difficult for them to adapt to life's volatile situations and events, due to their very delicate feelings. However, these people can enjoy the simplest inexpensive things like art and nature, are empathetic, good listeners to friends, and have a fertile imagination and deep analysis of things.

People with high sensitivity experience the world in a different way from others, as sensory stimuli such as loud noise or bright light excite them and make them feel very tired and drained because they are used to staying inside their inner worlds, so that they can stop working with the main goal of only reducing the impact of external stimuli on them.

Highly sensitive people receive hostile messages from the world, intentionally or unintentionally, as everyone pushes them to abandon their sensitivity and treat it as a mistake that must be fixed with sentences such as: You overreact or not be too sensitive, or not weak.

All these messages do not benefit the sensitive person, but they distance him more from his surroundings and make him try to separate from his nature, especially since severe allergies are often a genetic trait that a person cannot choose to abandon or acquire. According to 3 decades of research, it is not a weakness that should be abandoned or addressed, but a health trait and a balance of strength as well.

In this report, we detail the advantages of hypersensitive people and why their friends love them.

Depth of processing and reflection

Highly sensitive people tend to think too much, so they may take longer to make decisions, but that time makes their decisions more mature and regretless. Sensitive people take things seriously and think deeply that may hurt them and make it difficult to adapt to the surrounding world, but at the same time they have a great ability to capture the feelings of others, empathize with them and feel their problems honestly and without fabricating attention, so that they may reach the point of crying with emotion regardless of how simple or complicated it is, because they are able to put themselves in the shoes of others, according to psychologist Ellen Aaron. They also observe well the motivations and tendencies of the people around them, which makes them good managers, negotiators, and leaders.

Deep inner life

Deep inner life is one of the great benefits of high sensitivity, as highly sensitive people can accurately identify and work on their problems, and they are able to identify what excites them, confuses them and what pleases them by perceiving small details and their impact on their feelings and thoughts and on the feelings and thoughts of those around them. They also have an active imagination and the ability to connect scattered subtle signals in order to arrive at creative solutions and unconventional ideas or, as they say, ideas from outside the box.

Innate creativity

Most highly sensitive people tend to be creative, as it is their way of being and coexisting and their way of cultivating and supporting their sensitive nature at the same time. Art makes life more bearable for them and distances them from the many details that exhaust them in life and relationships, and their active imagination does not calm down and settle down except by making a creative product or hoping for creativity such as indulging in painting or listening to music, and they are also hopeful and full of emotions and able to bestow them on those they love.

Appreciate the little things

Highly sensitive personalities can be amazed by the simplest inexpensive things, such as the observation of nature and its colors, and the contrast of greenery with the blue sky. They also appreciate and desperately need loving touches and sincere hugs, and hearing an old song or inhaling an old scent evokes feelings of nostalgia and brings them back to the past, but at the same time they can find beauty even in feelings of affection, nostalgia and sadness and they can enjoy all those feelings mixed together.

The power of the stimulus effect

Perhaps the biggest advantage of highly sensitive people is the power of the stimulation effect on them, meaning that they are more affected than others by stimuli that help anyone. For example in a 2022 study of hundreds of couples at risk of divorce. These couples received training to improve the relationship in their marriage and the training was really helpful and helped couples overcome differences and stay together. But when the researchers conducted personality tests of people, they found that sensitive people were the ones who used the training to save their marriage, and couples who had at least one of them with highly sensitive personalities reported that their relationship had actually improved and they became happier together.
