Just found this post through a tweet from @KatherynTHunter – thanks so much for gathering these links, Alexia. I’ve just recently started exploring the HSP thing, and find I’m so hungry for more info This is a great start.

Reading about HSP couldn’t help thinking my numerology life path number which is 3/30. The number to the left if I remember correctly is the challenge and the number to the right is the means (which in my case both are 3). 3 is sensitivity and expression in my numerology book.

To find your life path add the digits of your birth date together until you have a two-digit number (means) and then add those two, to derive your challenge number.

Thanks Alexia for mentioning Tribe here. I really appreciate it. It has been my ambition for years to launch a multimedia project for people like me. Through Tribe I really want to focus on the positive attributes of being an HSP, and the wonderful creativity that goes with it.

Welcome to this new HSP aspect of your journey. There are many more who have not yet identified with the trait.This post helps to widen our community.

Hugs

Tina

Hi Alexia,

I’m definitely an HSP. So glad you wrote about this and shared others who are HSPs on Twitter.

I’ve worked with @JennaAvery and it has been a difficult, but rewarding process to accept my sensitivities. Thanks for the blog inspiration too.

Thanks for the comments everyone! This was a difficult post to write, but I’m glad it’s getting such a great response.

More to come, that’s for sure!

Alexia,

Thanks for mentioning me and my website in your post. I’m glad to be reminded about scanning and sensitivity in conjunction. I checked out Barbara Sher’s thoughts and terminology on scanning years ago, but haven’t thought of it since I started Highly Sensitive Power.

And thanks to you, Skannie, for that link to the Scanner Tribe.

Thank you for sharing this.

A few years ago, I was feeling “defective” and stumbled upon Dr. Aron’s book “The Highly Sensitive Person”. Then a few months later I found an online community for HSPs and they have been a godsend for me.

This isn’t an easy world to live in, and for those of us who are more intuitive/empathic/idealistic, it can be a brutal place. It helps to find people who “get” you and appreciate your unique nature and gifts.

Alexia,

“HSPs can be the wise advisors, visionary artists and healers of the world.” Amen to that! The power and potential of that statement inspires me completely, and fuels my desire to serve HSPs.

Thank you so much for this article, and for mentioning me in it

This is a very interesting post Alexia. I seem to fit the criteria for an HSP too. My response turned out to be too long for a comment, so I’ve turned it into a post at my Scanner Tribe blog. It’s called Multiple Interests and High Sensitivity, and is about a possible connection between them.
