Thank you for sharing all this. ...Hey there Peter! Thank you for sharing all this. I've been struggling with the whole HSP thing again. Lately I've been told that I should 'desensitize' (this after being blown away by the energy and loud sarcastic banter between two people). A person I'm close to is quick to point out that I live separate lives. Plus I've been given a grading of 'very good' on how I socialized at a gathering. Of course, this is a very quick synopsis and would truly need the context of all situations to not be one sided (mine). However... not getting into the 'why's' of it all - I'm simply feeling the need to defend myself, which I don't like. When I was told to desensitize, I got angry and it showed. I didn't internalize it, but then I DID internalize my reaction - anger, for which I felt the need to apologize. As for living separate lives... I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that one yet because I DO live separate lives. The many parts of me like it that way or maybe it's simply because I'm fearful of merging the various people in my life and/or the various parts of me I've kept separate.
