Right when she said "be comfortable in your own skin" I started crying. Ive spent years thinking I was too sensitive. Ive had people tell me I need to not be so sensitive. it was engrained that it was a bad thing. Why do I want to cry when im having a casual conversation with someone when they're opening up to me? why do I feel so detached from so many people because I feel they will never understand me? why do I feel deeply hurt by little things people say? I hated it. I felt broken. im not broken, just an HSP :)

Yes. Sensitive people are sincere because they do things wholeheartedly.

Being sensitive is like walking around without skin. You feel raw and vulnerable. But it can also be your greatest asset. This lady is a WONDERFUL speaker

People say sensitive people are always wrong. I'm told I'm wrong so I stop thinking - I stop commenting - I stop reacting. Then I'm told I'm too quiet. I'm told I'm too quiet so I disappear completely. People say we should grow thicker skin. But we're always going to have an elastic heart. This TED Talk made me realise that I don't have a "disease". I don't need to get rid of my sensitivity or hypersensitivity. My problem is not that I'm too sensitive. My problem is that I don't listen first or more carefully. Thank you !

Just found out my mum thinks I'm too sensitive. She's just one of many people who's said I was too sensitive. It's so mind breaking, it feels like your very person is too much and it made me sad and ashamed of who I am. I'm here to feel better

We also cannot understand why people are mean or hurtful and we rack our brains trying to understand why they just won't or can't be more empathetic because for us it comes naturally. We over-feel the pain of others which makes it easy for us to be the shoulder to cry on.

But, I feel like my employer is exploiting this trait and demanding many activities that contradict the intuitive feelings I have. It's damaging and hurtful. I left my job in finance when it got to the point that we were no longer in the business of helping people, but in exploiting them for profit. And everywhere I went, I saw the same thing. I'm in insurance support, claims, and it's killing me. I don't have the capacity to both help victims of loss AND sell them products and services, all on a time limit. I went to school to be a writer because I felt hat was my true calling. But, in America, it's not an easy path to follow and extremely time consuming to get it right. There aren't support mechanisms in place for this. And any content creator jobs posted require multitasking in a fast-paced environment where you now have 3 other responsibilities. WTF happened to having just one job?

This makes me feel proud of being sensitive person.

Low and behold, Dr. Azab is one of my professors this semester, and she told us that she did TED talks, and this comes up on my timeline. I am so happy I could actually cry!

Hey Jjrose I hope ur doing good this year. I apologize for the stranger above me who unfortunately is not comfortable with themselves that so much so that they projected their insecurity onto you in a passive aggressive manner knowing you would pick up on it. I thought about you and wish I could be where you are at. I have called many therapists and psychologists to speak to and they have left me on voicemail many times. I hope I get help soon because sometimes it’s overwhelming to pick up on the smallest details or mistake a simple gesture for being mad or angry.

I’m a highly sensitive person and I always felt like I was different but couldn’t put a finger on what it was though. When I learned what SPS is , it all made so much more sense. I used to be mislabeled as shy, quiet, drama queen, thin skinned, and many more. When, little did they know, I’m actually an extrovert who is very confident and can speak up very well. I seem thin skinned because I am very empathetic and can’t stand to see someone, even if I don’t know them, get hurt or feel sadness. Once, my friend called me a hippie because I said the school had an anxious aura one day. When really, I could just feel all of the anxious feelings from the people around me. When you understand yourself, it is so much easier to deal with situations like this. Because you can tell yourself that you aren’t weird, you are special.

I’m starting to connect more and more with nature and learning from the primal source makes me feel like I belong here and as a HSP I just feel deeply the issues of human society. I really think we are as we are so we can help others identify what is wrong with this world that we create, so we can change it and evolve to a more empathetic way of leaving and treating the planet and each other. So don’t give up, ppl! We need as much as HSP we can to shake society toxic structures.

@@alannaamorim3247 Thank you for your reply. It's been a year since I posted that. A year ago I was diagnosed with a scary, rare, incurable disease called scleroderma. This past year has been the most trying time of my life, so far. I've come a long way. I've learned to embrace my emotions and just go with it. There have been many situations where I've had no choice but to go with it. I've grown. You're so right about connecting with nature and our surroundings and people.

Its cathartic to be told, after 28 years of hearing "why do you take everything to heart?", that you have the potential to be wonderful. I feel like I had been bogged down, suffocating for years trying to emulate people who seem to steer through life seemlessly, but in vain. Sensitivity is a strength but it takes another people with at least a moderate level of empathy to appreciate that. And the world is increasingly getting rid of empathy. Maybe HSPs are part of the slaughter. This was wonderful. Also explains why sometimes I just want to run way into nature, alone, and feel like that would make me feel better. Its just my brain asking me to let itself recharge without judgement.

Being sensitive makes u overthink some situation which makes it harder..

I am a highly sensitive person , I get hurt easily for days because of negative situations or feedback .I suffer from depression , anxiety ,sadness and Inosomia. I can't breathe at night because of negative people . I have the worst siblings and the most thing that ruins my day is that I live in another country, when I call my mom most of the times she ignores my call although she is online .When she does that I start crying secretly and go through depression. I wish I could be stronger and not let those people set nd back. I wish I can isolate myself from their negative energy .

I too like going walking on cloudy , rainy days. My favorite is cloudy days because sometimes the sun is just too much. Winter is my favorite season although every season is beautiful. I love admiring nature and all the details of it.

the worst reaponse to telling someone you feel like you might be a highly sensitive "well i think everyone is a bit sensitive actually"

Name it, talk about it, describe it. Then rewrap it. Wonderful talk.

I always thought why am I like this? Why I'm not like my friends? They don't care about other people's opinion, they don't get hurt by their words, they are normal. At a point, I started to think that maybe I'm not normal. I feel sad even if I saw a stranger struggling or getting scolded or anything. I'm full of emotions. I always help others and support them but when it's time to support myself I'm unable to do it. I feel so demotivated. I cry over small things and I feel like there is nobody who understands me. And today I found out that I'm normal, just a HSP. I don't know should I do something about it or accept it because I feel like this world isn't a good place for a HSP....

I am glad I found this video

"There is no better journey, that is difficult, as painful; but as Rewarding* and as Sweet* as the journey to SELF-DISCOVERY" -Marwa Azab I feel strongly that being a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) can be misunderstood often, but nonetheless, are blessed with receiving so much INSIGHT beyond surface of contentions. The GIFT* outweighs by far...all superficiality; as well, generalized assumption. It's a distinction* really to be cherished and attentively nurtured. {Some people will dismiss what they can't relate to or understand.}

I am a sensitive male, I used to refuse it. Since I don’t want to express my sensitivity over anything, I want what people called man up. I pretended not to care, being aggressive when somebody stir me up. But recently, I am kind of accepting this trait, even though still a long way to go, but thanks ted and this wonderful woman, I get closer to acknowledge myslef.

I am an extremely emotionally sensitive person. But, I feel that maybe if we can embrace it without feeling like we are defective then we can use our sensitivity in constructive ways. - I believe that the effect things have on our emotions has to do with what we tell ourselves about the meaning of them. In other words, we define the emotional impact things have on us by the meaning we choose to give them. Therefor, it's very important to NOT GIVE them any power to hurt us. If something is hurting you then you must re-think the meaning of it. - I'll give you an example: If someone is mean or rude to me... instead of choosing to feel the pain from that, I will realize that their attitude comes from some previous bad experience and they're just taking it out on me (misplaced aggression.) Therefor, I'll choose to not take it personally and instead choose to have understanding and compassion for them. That doesn't mean I'll let them use me as a verbal punching bag. I will assertively stand up for my right to not be abused. But I will also not take the pain they're throwing my way. I will let it fly right passed me. And if I don't do that immediately then I will re-think it and store the memory with no pain... just understanding. It may take a while to be able to do the above, and I'll admit I'm no expert but it's been helping me through a lot of emotional struggles that would have previously done emotional damage to me. - Hope this helps someone. Remember, you're not alone. There's a lot of sensitive people in this world.

Thank you Myriam for this lovely lecture. I hate how people put down sensitive people like it's some kind of character flaw. You can't lie for yourself.

I had a father who taught me how to fight and I carried that with me because I was bullied a through childhood. I never made fun of or picked on others. My idea of a man isn't conventional, especially America's version of it. When I cried, it was often because I was pissed off, not scared. I have four wonderful kids now. 3 boys and 1 girl and I always teach them that it's okay to cry if you need to. Especially for my boys. I don't want them being another statistic who ends up with anger issues or is emotionally disfunctional be abuse they bottled up their feelings.

In any circumstances , as soon as they feel the don’t want me near , this matter of sensitivity got dragged on the middle and blamed me for it. Recently , my granddaughter who is 6 , has shown whatever a girl at this age would show when she wants something or, when she got upset ( crying) , they have put that on me that because i am sensitive and has shown my sensitivity when my son was cruel to me , thus my granddaughter has learned that from me. Further more, they have decided not to let me get close to their children because i am a bad influenced for them. I have shared your speech with my son who is highly educated in medical field , so is his wife ! To listen and see who is a high sensitive person ! I draw and paint and i love it. I am a kind and truly empathetic person. But, recently i have lost all my self esteem because of destructive criticism by my son and indirectly by his wife ! I am an educated registered nurse who i just got retired this year. Thank you and God bless you

Thank you so so much. This really made me feel better about my sensitivity.

Thank you Dr Azab!

Your illustration was excellent. Also you brought out the good in us, the HSPs. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I had a very traumatic experience in childhood, and though I love my parents, they hurt me deeply in many ways. I’ve gone from being an athlete, college graduate, military member, pharmacy tech, etc. to drinking alcohol, smoking, stagnating in general. Your video (and other HSP videos that has put a name to what I’ve always been but was put down for by virtually all family members and people who can’t understand what I experience) is beyond cathartic/therapeutic. I don’t feel so alone now and I’m hoping I’ll be able to quit drinking so much to drown the pain I feel and trying to run away from who I really am, plus being misunderstood and the toxic relationships I’ve acquired in my life from caring so much about those who don’t get me and don’t care despite what I’ve done for them. So again, thank you.

This was one of the best things I have ever ever ever seen on the internet. May almighty Allah bless her more with gratitude and happiness. Thankyou loads. 😃

This cleared up a lot.

I only started learning about HSP lately and surely embracing my newly discovered trait. This was awesome. Thanks, Doc!

Thank you so much, Marwa. I recognize myself in this story and it is good to know I am not alone.

This was so beautiful! 💖 I have recently learned that I am one of the 20% and it explains so much about my life, my behaviors, and the feeling I have had forever of being so misunderstood by others. Thank you for sharing about the sensory processing sensitivity also!

I had actually come to KZread trying to find videos on how to be less sensitive and then I come across this.

Thank you for this...
