Living in China can be a challenge--so many sights and sounds and people to overwhelm me! Thanks for your resource recommendations, because I think I need to learn more about how this can be a strength and how to take care of myself.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08002359891058339184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682958180553579364.post-7086300701266713242017-11-05T12:00:44.143+08:002017-11-05T12:00:44.143+08:00I had heard a bit about HSP and thought I might ha...I had heard a bit about HSP and thought I might have some characteristics, but probably wasn't HSP. Turns out I have 18 characteristics on the quiz in your link (with 14 being a good indicator). I think I have compensated a lot living Asia. I can deal with noise a lot better (light has never been a big problem)- but conversations all around me or background music when trying to have a conversation or study/read are very distracting to me. In South Asia, Christians love to do corporate prayer by everyone shouting their own prayers at once. I CANNOT do it! <br /><br />I've come to embrace my introverted personality over the last several years- learning how to live in cultures that are more extreme than American culture in valuing extroversion. I appreciate your tips on living with HSP and will start to explore where I may have pushed myself too hard and what I can do to better thrive with this.

I have used earplugs when I've shopped...! I have written complaints to the store about their loud music (they ignore me). <br /><br />I will follow through on HSPs...It's really noise and clutter that get me, not so much the light.<br /><br />Thank you for posting - helpful - - - Tibbetts Travels in Thailandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04488318687113670934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682958180553579364.post-5228312098480558032017-10-27T03:02:46.361+08:002017-10-27T03:02:46.361+08:00Interesting.

I definitely have some characteristics that put me in the "highly sensitive" category, but I also have other eccentricities that maybe aren't wholly related to HSP. I definitely find people, noise, and perceived chaos to be exhausting.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879072304416814318noreply@blogger.com
