There’s a lot there in that video that I think will resonate with most people, myself included, but I nearly did not get past the philosophical problem of the speaker’s claims that HSPs somehow feel things deeper than others. As if people that are better equipped or trained to manage their emotions are somehow experiencing emotions on a shallower level. That line of logic reminds me way too much of the way colonizers would dehumanize indigenous peoples by claiming that the culture and language of those indigenous peoples were somehow less developed because of a difference in technological development. I know that they are very different situations. I’m just trying to draw abstract parallels to show why I find the language they used offensive.
Either way, that video left me wondering. Which would be more emotionally exhausting, being an HSP or accommodating one on a regular basis?
Key lime juice also makes for a very interesting margarita.
