Articles

In the course of the past couple of decades, I have written numerous articles about the HSP trait. These have appeared in printed magazines, their online versions, web publications, e-zines, guest columns on blogs and more. This page will eventually contain a comprehensive list of these articles, as I endeavor to locate and link to them all. For the time being, these are just some of the articles-- I hope you find them useful!

You are welcome to link to any of these articles, from your Facebook, Blog, Tumblr, twitter or web sites-- the more people are aware of the HSP trait, the easier life becomes for all of us!

  1. Your words fit for me perfectly. I am so happy I discovered I am not an aberration and that being so sensitive is not a choice or a disease.
    I always felt an awkward feeling that I was different and that I do my best to change the world to a better place, to help people, to make a difference. I realized the majority of people really don't care for anything and anyone.
    Sometimes I feel as if I am an alien living in a weird world lol other times I think I am crazy, how come people can be so mean or clueless.
    I was suffering few weeks ago trying to develop a cold personality that would make me a happier person if I didn't feel things in such intensity, what a joke!!! obviously I gave up soon it's even worse to try to be cold, it's impossible and hurtful.
    I want to thank you for your blog and for sharing with everyone your experience and to say that thanks to your highly sensitivity you are helping others just like you! From my heart to you THANK YOU!
