    Dearest Ana, I have been judged all my life for being “too sensitive” by my family to the point that I just want to run away from them forever. They criticize me for my wants and needs and sap me of my last bit of energy. All I ever hear from them is “you shouldn’t do that, you shouldn’t feel that way, etc.” I feel small and inadequate and I don’t fit in. Watching your video I calmed down and am going to use some of your suggestions to go on. Thank you sweet sweet Ana. ❤

      It's always so emotionally challenging when our family/friends don't support us for who we are... Sending love and calming thoughts your way, my friend ❤️

    If I click on something disturbing to me, such as animal cruelity, I must immediately click off, turn off, quit reading, etc. It's hard to explain, but it can "stay" with me for days clouding my well-being and causing sadness. My mind does not want to turn off at night either. Sometimes I recite poems, scriptures or songs to myself and it helps. Thanks for being so open with your feelings. It has helped me and I'm sure many others.

    こんにちは。日本からいつも応援しています。私もHSPです。また、双極性障害で病院へ通っています。今も現在進行形で不眠に悩んでいます。薬も飲んでいますが、こちらの動画を見て、自分にできる工夫を日常に取り入れてみようと思いました。
    昨日と今日はAnaさんの動画を見てウォーキングをしたくなり、外の景色を見ながら、また風に吹かれながら歩いてとても心地よかったです。自由を感じました。それからリネンの服は私も大好きです。もっと人の目ではなく自分自身の心の声を聞いて生きていきたいです。あなたの動画が大好きです。これからも応援しています。日本語ですみません。

    Your videos about highly sensitive people resonate strongly with me. I am probably autistic, although I do not yet have a medical diagnosis. The strategies you suggest are very helpful. Thank you once again, dear Ana.

    • @bloom4096

      There's a theory that high sensitivity is actually a form of autism. I used to think I was just highly sentitive, but now I know I have ADHD and autism (AuDHD). It's been very helpful to realize.

    Dear Ana, thank you for another great video! Your channel is like a peaceful little island in the vast ocean of content. And I always enjoy coming back to it.
    I struggled a lot with accepting myself as an HSP. And I still struggle, I can't lie. Sometimes I feel like a burden to everyone, to my partner - because I need this "special treatment" - I'm always the first one to get tired, overwhelmed, emotional or whatever. I hate driving with loud music surrounding me, I don't particularly like hanging out in bars anymore and I can't ever cook without my headphones because the sound of the ventilation makes me really frustrated for some reason. But the feeling that my partner accepts me despite of (or more likely thanks to) that is helping me overcoming this issue. I know I didn't choose this, it's something I grew up with and now I have to live with it. And I can accept and embrace it or I can spend the rest of my life feeling sorry for myself. And I don't want to do that. Ok, maybe we need this special treatment, we need our quiet rituals, we need to be alone a lot but I think on the other hand we have a lot to offer to the world and people around us - deeper observations, meaningful connections and even some artistic insights. And that's not insignificant.
    Take care!

    I really appreciate your willingness to talk about the darker topics of transience and death. It's pretty uncommon for people to speak of it openly and without negativity. I also find a lot of comfort in knowing that life isn't forever. It's calming when I am feeling completely overwhelmed, especially with the state of the world we live in. I won't be here in 100 years, what a relief! 😅

    • @anagoldberg
      @anagoldberg  Месяц назад +3

    I can totally relate to all you've mentioned! / "Tactile hunger", I've never heard of this before. Cool, thank you, I learned something new! :) / Transience helps me, too! / I consider myself a highly sensitive person as well. Since I don't feel comfortable or safe in my own body, due to trauma and ailments, I look to find one spot on or in my body that feels neutral or even comfortable in this moment, be it even so tiny, no matter. This serves me as an anchor, to where I can return and stabilize myself during the day, when other sensations overwhelm me, similar to creating a controlable space, just in the body. Often I will lay my hand(s) on that spot, and feel its warmth. I don't know if this makes any sense to you. ~ May your nervous system be touched by calm, peace and friendliness whenever you need it. 🌸🍀🌸

    Dear Ana, thanks for your video. Now I am packing my small suitcase, I am going to spend the winter in south Europe. A traveltip: I have noticed that it is better for my HSP to buy a bus ticket (long distance), instead of going by train - flying is no option for Me. In trains it is crowded with noisy people, children screaming etc. Often it is almost silent in most the buses...Some of them are running through night

  • @smallofferings
    @smallofferings Месяц назад +2

    Like you I get overwhelmed by sensory stimuli - especially noise, but also visual things - I can only process so much, even when it's something I enjoy. I have managed to make noise be less of a problem - I used to get overwhelmed and stressed, which made everything worse, but these days I find reminding myself that they are just noises, just temporary (transience 😊) and cannot hurt me, helps me stop focusing when I can't change them. I've known I was an HSP for a log time, but it seems to have also taken a long time to find the things that work for me. You seem to be a much quicker learner! And you look stunning in purple.

  • @nanetten6238
    @nanetten6238 Месяц назад +2

    YES to controllable spaces! It took me years to figure this one out. I am a very tidy HSP and married to a highly visual person. This means that I like to put everything in its designated places, but my husband likes to "see" everything or he forgets it's there. To me, this is visual clutter. I have created several controllable spaces that allow me to calm myself and relax. From a room (bedroom/bathroom) to a little shelf with my favorite collectibles, these spaces help to calm me as I do not have any control over the way my husband keeps or relates to his belongings (nor do I wish to). Also - I have found weighted blankets and stuffed animals to be very soothing and tactile. Thanks so much dear Ana.

    • @anagoldberg

    Always good to hear some advice from another lovely HSP ❤ I loved the part about quiet evenings, I also find it helpful in the morning. Generally having little bits of time being quiet, not speaking, not listening is really good for me. Makes me more mindful.
    Anyway, thanks for the tips, you've encouraged me to go back into crocheting, which I first started during lockdown, will see how much I remember 😅 And maybe scrapbooking, I love doing yearly vision boards for my bullet journal, why not do it more often? I am far from an artist, but who cares, it's just for fun!
    Lots of love from Poland, take care 🥰

    Hi Ana - oh my, I loved your comment about your mug being a controllable space! When I am feeling a bit "messy" (ie overwhelmed) I like to shop for a new mug, and I love using that new mug for a good while. I like to pick a mug with a nature theme, my favourite mugs have birds on, or plants and birds. It helps me feel cosy (with hot beverage) and close to nature again. sending you best wishes

    Thank you! I can well understand how small worries spicy debilitating feelings; they are reminders that we live in complicated and imperfect world. To some people, a broken plate is simply a broken plate; the pieces need to be swept up and thrown away, then they go on with the day. But for others, well, it's a reminder of the fragility of everything, and thoughts of all the steps needed to replace the plate and if the plate had sentimental value (a family heirloom or a gift from a dear friend), then it can be devastating.

    I have found the transience idea as well, and while I don't always have success in minimizing stress with it, for the most part it's my strategy of choice. We have had a lot of rain over the last few days due to hurricane Helene, and being indoors doing quiet projects has been calming as well. It was like being closed in somewhere cozy. And knitting every evening before bed always needs to be there! 😊❤

    Tactile hunger, quiet evenings and transience, it's amazing how you think of these topics. My two cats satisfy my tactile hunger, I kiss and cuddle them a hundred times a day. Of course, I cuddle my kids too. I treasure my quiet evenings but unlike you, I'm usually on RUclips. 🤭 Transience is something I don't often think about but funny enough, today I started reading a new book by Oliver Burkemann, called Four thousand weeks and in the first pages he mentions how short human life is and how before long we're all going to die, even though our solar system will continue for another 1.6 billion years. I never realised I was a highly sensitive person until you and another RUclipsr I watch from the Netherlands started talking about it. I treasure my time alone and everything that I enjoy in life is a solitary activity. I like people in very small doses! Your short hair looks lovely and your skin looks as youthful as a baby's. ❤🌷🐞🐝

    Ich habe mit meinem Arzt über meine Art gesprochen und er unterstützt mich, wenn ich eine Auszeit brauche und die brauche ich immer wieder. Zu dem Thema könnte ich viel schreiben...
    Was mir übrigens beim Einschlafen hilft, ist Melatonin.❤

    Of course one should always appreciate good times and live them to the fullest. I am a big fan of practicing emotional vigilance and preparation for crap. Just like you can count on death, you can also count on major life crises. Best be prepared. Rather than throw hands up in the air in desperation, I think it is far easier to be able to tell oneself that it has arrived and reign in all the strategies that you have prepared to cope with the arrival of the unwelcome guest in your life. I watch a lot of people spend weeks and months on “shock”; “how could this have happened”. Best to skip this stage and save one’s energy for coping and recovering to the new balance.
