aboynamedmike Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 So I was just reading about highly sensitive people and I displayed nearly every one of the descriptions. -You, your partner, or someone important to you have a heightened awareness of subtleties in your environment, whether it's sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell.(I have a really sensitive sense of smell) -You may experience mood swings, sometimes occurring almost instantly and can also be affected by other people's moods, emotions and problems.(I used to think I was bi-polar because one minute I would be happy and the next I would be pissed off about something) You have had the experience of "cutting people out" of your life.(When I don't get along with someone, I do "cut them out" of my life. I'm currently trying to do this with my ex...) -You have a deep, rich, inner life, are very spiritual, and may also have vivid dreams.(I have dreams almost every night which I remember, I am very sophisticated inside) I hate yelling, loud noises, and bright lights too. I feel like this is going to be trouble for me later in life, when I try to date again. Maybe I'm just overreacting. Like when you listen to a song and watch a cartoon on mute, you think the music goes perfectly with the cartoon...
Thornton Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Why do you think such sensitivities would make it difficult to date? Are you worried about having a strong-smelling date I don't see why any of those issues would make it difficult to date tbh. I will however say that imo I am also a highly sensitive person, so I find it incredibly annoying if someone wants to have the tv on all the time, or if they play loud music, or if they have loads of people round at our house, or like bright lights on all the time. Luckily my partner is very much the same as me, so we happily sit together with the tv off and the lights dimmed, and quietly read a book or something.
