Deep dives
HSPs' Sensitivity and Responsiveness to Touch
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) have a heightened sensitivity to touch and are particularly affected by clothing tags and itchy fabrics. They prefer soft fabrics like suede and silk, and their beds need to be just right. Slowing down and savoring physical connections is advised to find the optimal level of stimulation and responsiveness in a relationship.
HSPs' Depth of Processing and Overwhelm
HSPs notice subtleties others may miss and have a knack for problem-solving and creative thinking. They pick up on vibrations in their environment and pay attention to the little things about their partner. However, HSPs can easily become overwhelmed due to their heightened senses. Mindfulness and self-care are crucial for them to decompress and connect with their partner with ease. Moreover, their depth of processing extends to emotional sensitivity, so building their self-confidence and avoiding judgment can prevent unnecessary drama and hurt in the relationship.
