Don't dump your own pain on others, especially with a subject this difficult.<br /><br />I think with HSPs you have to be very careful about defining "dysfunction." Many of our traits are perceived as dysfunctional by mainstream society, but are in fact normal for us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210685756518655466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813761.post-68049651696914592512011-09-30T18:51:24.483-07:002011-09-30T18:51:24.483-07:002 days back, my best friend (who's not a v.sen...2 days back, my best friend (who's not a v.sensitive person) told me about one of my negative traits in a way that offended me a lot (I'm an HSP).<br />Though what she said was partly true & I decided to take it into consideration, I'm still hurt.<br /><br />The point is: Criticism is a necessity, but it should be told nicely & the words should be chosen carefully so that it doesn't hurt a lot.<br /><br />Thanks for the post, it relieved me a bit :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813761.post-28450826918944359242011-09-30T15:39:01.491-07:002011-09-30T15:39:01.491-07:00Hi Peter,
I think you are tackling a challenging s...Hi Peter,<br />I think you are tackling a challenging subject because it is not always easy to know when we are accepting limitations and when we are letting ourselves off the hook. I personally think we HSP's have to accept our limitations without letting ourselves off the hook, but I also recognize that with all our challenges, you can only do so much and take on so much at any one time. <br /><br />I also think as an HSP that most of the time I am outside my comfort zone. Perhaps I am trying to do too much. Given that everything takes energy I think we need to be mindful about stepping outside our comfort zone because too much overload will not create a positive result. I personally think that HSP's can benefit from serial personal growth challenges. In taking that approach they can develop their strengths with some chance of success by avoiding excessive stress. <br /><br />I hope this helps.<br /><br />Maria<br />HSP Stress ReliefAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849155222885093938noreply@blogger.com
