Find out what high sensitivity means, what strengths it brings with it and how you can better deal with intense stimuli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you quickly feel overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights or intense emotions? Do you react strongly to other people&#039;s moods or do you need a lot of time to yourself to process impressions? Then high sensitivity could be an explanation for your experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does high sensitivity mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Highly sensitive people perceive stimuli more intensely than others. Their nervous system processes information more thoroughly, which is why they often tire more quickly or have to withdraw. Around 15-20% of people are considered highly sensitive - a natural variation in perception, not a diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strengths of Highly Sensitive People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>High sensitivity is not a weakness, but brings with it valuable qualities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deep empathy:<\/strong>\u00a0Highly sensitive people are intensely aware of other people\u2019s moods and are often very compassionate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attention to detail:<\/strong>\u00a0They notice subtleties that others miss, be it in nature, art or conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creativity:<\/strong>\u00a0Many highly sensitive people have a strong imagination and creative talent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intuitive decision making:<\/strong>\u00a0Because of their strong perception, they often make considered and well-thought-out decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges and tips for everyday life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although high sensitivity brings many strengths, it can also be challenging.
