A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is someone who experiences the world with intense emotional, mental, and sometimes physical sensitivity. This trait, characterized by a deeper cognitive processing of physical, social, and emotional stimuli, means that HSPs are often acutely aware of subtleties in their environment and can be easily overwhelmed by loud noises, strong smells, and chaotic scenarios. They are typically very empathetic and intuitive, making them adept at reading others' emotions and responding to their needs. While being highly sensitive can present challenges in high-stress situations, it also allows for rich inner lives and profound relationships. Recognizing and accommodating the unique needs of HSPs can enhance their ability to contribute positively in both personal and professional contexts.
