I’m a highly sensitive individual since childhood. I was always criticised for it, being to soft & sensitive. I used to be so creative & I lost it. I wandered why but now I know. My environment, upbringing etc made me lose it. It’s not lost forever I’m trying to find it in me. I’m extremely sensitive to people’s emotions, energies & places to the point it can drain me. Sometimes these feelings I wish weren’t there but I’d not want to lose them. I was always addicted to things. I’m healing & finding myself again thanks to listening to Gabor & his books. This video really speaks to me. Xx
I understand and I stand for you. This sensitivity becomes a super power, in the literal sense, once accepted. It can be done by loving and integrating this aspect of us. To do that, we release the criticism of others, about our sensitivity, that we accepted as truth. Whatever you are doing, you are doing good. So don't worry :)
This is classic. I actually don't thing the genetic component is of any importance. It's always folks that were raised not very supported in some chaotic environments. When a hsp knows how to self validate and work internally they can become super empowered by that trait. It literally helped me heal my body from a long disease. I wish on anyone to experience this flip side of sensitivity that's why i speak about all my lessons in my videos. ✌️💜
Completely agree....if we don't get the supportive environment, we need to create some.... to access and abide by the soul's urge, not live by the limiting norms. Only then the gifts within can flow out and benefit the world.
Sensitivity is being treated like some stigma because people don't know how to use it. But SENSITIVITY IS THE BEST TRAIT ever. Its a sign of a deep connection with Self. When used with awareness makes a person super powerful. I've become much more aware of it and I can validate myself and use the guidance of sensitivity as a clear navigation system. It literally feels like being invincible. I also made a video on my channel where I speak about thosr stages to feeling that empowerd.✌️ Bless you all folks!
No it is not. It can lead to ultra defensiveness, drug addiction and suicide. I do not think you are seeing the negative side of sensitivity, you gush only glowing words about it. It can be both good and bad.
@@mikeflair6800 I understand you want to be realistic about it, how it has pros and cons but srsly, we already deal with too much negativity about the trait itself. It just feel more stupid to be talking about negatives especially when so many people struggle to see more than 2 sides. Sensitivity is already viewed in a pretty negative manner, I suggest we at least try and not add to it more.
Thank you Gabor. It has been a rough road. Finding your way in a society that has no understanding of what or why we are different from everybody else. For so many years not feeling right, not feeling accepted, feeling different like I didn't belong, feeling like my feelings created a problem in the lives of people that I tried to be close with. I am 50 and now just coming to terms with trying to figure out who I am as a person. Spending years being a chameleon trying to fit in or not tip the boat. I can't say it has not made me feel like I'm insane at times are constantly saying what is wrong with me. Maybe if someone new anything about it when I was growing up it would have been different. I would have been told it was okay to be who I was and that I was not crazy. The fact that human beings are not taught that every one of us is different in some way shape or form in society is a huge problem. Whether or not as a whole everyone can become enlightened is answer I don't have. Nor do I have the energy to try and help everybody understand anymore. My nervous system is so worn down that I do the best I can by just taking care of myself.
Thank you for this comment. I feel that I have a similar life experience and it really helps to know i’m not alone in that because I often feel quite alone. I am coming to terms with this now and while confusing, i am hopeful. Thank you 🙏
Born highly sensitive myself, ill never forget it. Slowly lost it and had to rely on being cold and distant . Eventually this lead to me being an active addict for the past 12 years. The drugs allow me to interact and socialize while suppressing my emotions, i basically forget about them. I really want to get better i really do. With life, its obligations and lack of time for myself i see no end in sight unfortunately
I’m right there with you! It’s a super challenging path to navigate, because it’s so easy to cover up how we feel with drugs. But we can do this! And it makes us even stronger than the normal person.
Ageee with you there! I never got addicted to substances but for me I use the internet and video games to numb my pain, as a child especially it allowed me to escape into a fantasy world with imaginary friends, I used to love it there. Now I’m numb and detached, similar to you. I hope we can both find ourselves again ❤️
Something I wish was more touched on… was the delicate aspect of sensitivity within artists … he touched so briefly … I wanted more. He is a very brilliant mind. I am a diagnosed HSP… for me… everything is loud…
as a kid, having a natural sensitivity caused a lot of problems for me so i eventually shut it off so as to fit in and survive. Then things got much worse lol so i've turned it back on again because sensitivity is really useful for staying on a good path. Some people will hate you for your sensitivity, and will even try to make your life hell, but never let those people get under your skin (which is difficult at times, especially when you're young). Much love to you X
I have a HIGHLY sensitive son (11) who feels more than my other children... He is struggling going thru puberty- and he has siblings who are very critical and bossy... Any advice?
@@dremichel5698 i'm no expert but just be there for your son and chat with him every day and show him that you treasure him, love him, understand him and need him because he's your special wonderful pal. And try to keep those siblings in check! which is very hard i know because they are too young to take consideration for others seriously
Only feeling, even embracing, your genuine feelings, whether good or bad, can provide fuel for existence. Speaking as a rather sensitive gent myself. Allow and embrace the sensitivity to use it for your benefit
Wow that's me! With-out the Addiction.. Or maybe it's Love I'm Addicted too & the need to see & Feel Happiness. A Need to be needed & Not Feel Abandoned. This happens When we're not feeling appreciated, Respected & Loved or worse abused. Henceforth Over Compensating & A CoDependency can Happen. I' am a Sensitive Person highly affected by my Environment. Thanks for helping see a little clearer through this video how much & why I'm So Sensitive to others pain even more than my own at times. And Thanks also to my friend T for Sharing this with me. I Love💕 you my friend 4Ever!
It took a long time for me to realize this was my truth. Once I got off a particular medication, everything eventually flooded back inward. I'm more sensitive to the environment and other living plants and animals than I ever was with other human beings. The stress, past trauma, and addiction shaped me more than I'm happy to admit at my age. It's only a year ago I finally came to terms with everything and finally began getting help. To this day, everything I do and am is a challenge. I'm exhausted and drained, and it'll all probably shorten my overall lifespan, but I refuse to roll over and die.
Have you read “The Highly Sensitive Person “ by Dr Elaine Aron ? I highly recommend it. It helped me so much! Dr Aron gives a lot of practical ways we can take care of ourselves, and it’s very kind and affirmative of being an “HSP”. Take good care of yourself!
@Susy Porter I've been meaning to read something of that nature for a long time, I just never seem to pull the trigger and buy it. I think I'm going to do myself a favor and get a copy right now. I am familiar with the author already. I guess I just get so tired that I feel like trying to understand being hypersensitive is too much work. That's probably a sign I should read this book. Thank you so much for the advice and kind words.❤️🔥
@@Yoshoggutha I'm happy for you! I lived most of my life not knowing I was an HSP. It wasn't until having an HSP child that I read the book "The Highly Sensitive Child", and I was like "Oh my God, I'm an HSP!" Then I read "The Highly Sensitive Adult" and it changed my life because it made me feel seen, understood, cared for, and validated. You are not alone. Most creative, spiritually in tuned humans are HSP's. In days of old, we were the Shamans, the wise intuitives. It is only in our modern culture that the inner world has been deemed less important than the material world. I also recommend Martha Beck's work. She has 2 podcasts and many books and articles. She often talks about the gift of sensitivity and how to care for ourselves. Take good care of you! p.s. I don't think you're 'hypersensitive' at all- It is the world that is insensitive and dead to the beauty of the soul. Your sensitivity is a power, truly it is!

@@Yoshoggutha I understand it so well when you say - i am so tired. Its a very different type of tiredness for sure. Winter does not help. I should definitely live in a warmer country xx
I have never heard a more accurate definition. thank you my beloved doctor Gabor Maté you really can recognize the human soul from all angles. That's amazing. I am in awe.❤❤❤❤
I am creative and highly sensitive; not only to the sensitivities of the 3D world but also of the unseen world. Now, at age 50, creating my own environment if support and being choosy of who is within that environment. How I view "family" is definitely not the family I have in this lifetime.
Very relatable. When Elaine Aaron’s work came out validating HSP personality trait it was extremely helpful. Knowing it wasn’t a flaw but an inherent aspect of the self. There’s a lot of learning to self manage and I’ve come to teach other HSPs how. Understanding how to allow the channeling to come through.
Highly sensitive and empathetic. I've truly discovered it recently and now I'm living a greater sense of self, awareness and mindfulness. Gabor Mate has no rival in his understanding of the mindbodysoul.
I have had these thoughts about having or not having the full spectrum of emotions. I think those of us that came in “fully loaded” have more we have to learn how to manage.
Yes I lost my sense of creativity every time I came close to my family and friends back in my home town. Some horrid issues made me return home and now I’m stuck and soooooo depressed because I’ve repressed my creativity as part of my circumstance. Lost all the creative friends I had and I’m basically a mute that navigates the world waiting to die. My advice: if you are a creative, YOU MUST LEAVE HOME. Pleeeeeeaaaaase go ad fail and come back but just leave home and try your best to stay creative and above all, financially INDEPENDENT!!!!!?
I thought I was a sensitive, spiritual, artistic person... turns out I'm Autistic with ADHD and didn't know until I had a child as a way, WAY older mom 😂 YUP, both of us are neurodivergent, creative and SENSITIVE TO THE EXTREME!!! 😅 and now that I am in the "community" I know there are so many undiagnosed, late diagnosed (I was 50!) or wrongly diagnosed. Now I am trying to build a system and a sanctuary to heal trauma and allow for creativity and balance ❤ thanks for all your great work, especially in teaching compassion!!!
its hard being so sensitive. people's energy, the energy or places affects me a great deal. it can be very overwhelming and difficult to navigate. I am much more sensitive to emotional pain and feel it intensely. I get drained easily.
Ok, I ask this as someone who has suffered quite a few adverse childhood experiences and scores highly on HSP tests... what if high sensitivity is a myth? What if those deemed highly sensitive by themselves or others are actually those who are holding on more tightly to negative beliefs? It's our stubborn refusal to let them go and using a sense of victimhood to excuse ourselves from doing so...at the end of the day even what feels uncomfortable and painful can become so intrinsic to our identity and how we see ourselves that it can be very hard to let go... what we believe shapes our reality. Just offering this up as an inquiry, don't mean any offence.
I was wondering something similar to what you described above. Partly because, it seems impossible to me that not all people can access the full spectrum of emotion. Maybe many are not able to let those emotions come through, but I'm sure they are inside of them. Though, the key word in this interview is, I would say, absorb. So, my train of thought is directed toward a question - what makes us so prone to absorbing those negative emotions which makes us or, at least, makes us seem as if we don't want to let go. I'm just using this opportunity to wonder about it out loud.
My heart is breaking. I can sense that the man my daughter is marrying is void of compassion just like her father. She thinks that I am crazy and trying to sabotage her happiness. Never mind that she has witnessed that I am never wrong about people. After all the love support and sacrifice for her and her brother, she thinks I am her enemy. Someone please just shoot dead me now.
Why is i, that when SOME people are ultra-sensitive, they are praised for being ultra confident and high status. For example, watch any interview with Beyonce, 50 cent, Nipsey Hussle, etc... If they interviewer says anything MIDLY teasing, joking, or asks any personal question that they find offensive... how do they react? They IMMEDIATELY get upset, express their hurt, scold the interviewer, and if the interviewer continues, they get up and leave. And they are all worshiped for being so strong touch confident and assertive. But when we feel equally offended at disrespect, teasing, or insults, then we are labelled as being soft and weak. Why?
From my own experience, I can say that to create, anything, at any level, assists survival most profoundly. Also, it is necessary to remove oneself from any people who have the power to be extremely negative, even, or especially, family.
Im beginning to be out of words to fully describe how it it to be a sensitive soul. In my early 40s and having to fight through every day with so many people around me who respect me but do not understand me Im just glad my little girl might benefit from my emotional wisdom 🫶🏻😂

In general is there a connection between people with childhood trauma and sensitive nervous systems?
Yes. Trauma can make you more sensitive by affecting your nervous system.

yea it took til I was 17 as a male to accept it since society don’t accept it. but this shit is Fr a super power like im very grateful for it
