Highly sensitive introverts know how it feels to be told “no.”

We must understand that such personality is triggered by biological attributes that make them experience the surroundings quite differently.

Extroverts can also be highly sensitive, but its the introverts who usually bear this personality.

Here are the things only highly sensitive introverts understand:

1.

Volume and scents are great stimulants.

They have heightened sense of smell and sense of hearing.

So when their surroundings are noisy, they zone out.

They bring their earphones out of their pockets and listen to music to calm themselves and refocus.

A person who speaks loudly is a source of discomfort.

They would never want to be with loud talkers, especially in public.

Overanalyzing the minutiae is a natural tendency (and it can be disturbing).

This is why they are often seen staring from afar and daydreaming.

They are pensive and critical thinkers.

They chop every idea into tiny details.

While this may seem advantageous, its actually bothersome for them at times.

And yes, its their high sensitivity that lets them dive in every ideas deepest meaning.

A little pain is too much pain.

Its reasonable that their pain tolerance is low due to their high sensitivity.

Now we can apply the common connotation for highly sensitive people here: They are easily offended.

They are never in denial of this fact.

But they handle it wellespecially introverts.

They know that mere solitude acts as a cure.

Saying no is one of the most difficult things to do.

Highly sensitive introverts know how it feels to be told no.

As much as they can, they avoid offending others.

Sometimes, though, this leads to compromising themselves because they just cant tell things straightforwardly.

6.Excessive empathy is an exhausting gift.

They are born to be empaths.

Their sensitivity lets them know what every emotion feels like.

Silent treatment is a way of emotional healing.

They zone out because they are fully aware that they cannot express themselves enough.

Almost every dream is a vivid dream.

Because highly sensitive introverts bottle up emotions, their feelings most likely manifest in their dreams.

Lack of sleep can make or break their day.

Generally, a person whos slept for a very short time before facing the day is most likely irritable.

But they can get through it.

The length of their sleep can dictate how their day flows.

Passion is a way of communication.

Look at what I love doing and you will understand me better.

Thats what highly sensitive introverts want to tell everyone.

They are not directly communicative, but they are very creative when they want to express themselves.
