Highly Sensitive Person [differential]

Does anyone resonate with this?
keeping it plain and simple, maybe I won;t describe how I fit the category or as a means of insight that when elaborated on gets deemed delusions about being controlled people putting thoughts in your head but this is a flaw in proper communications of esoteric concepts thata may lay behind the concept of the HIghly Sensitive Person.

some of the points like being sensitive to loud noises and bright lights aren;t very interesting, I think the concept goes much deeper...probably a lot of Aspies get this

feels $#%^ because I wasn't supposed to be making new posts or I feel it because its not what I want to put out there or it was a let down and boring post.....but short.....yeah overanalysis things or is it really overanalysis when people say it is????is it just respecting the nature of possability?

sorry cheze
while I was thinkking about highly sensitive people ending up with psychiatry and that is intense environment and causes placid people all agitated and ###$ up from the treatment even on such subtle levels like sensitivity to the nicest of nurses for being fake and patronising or an insult of some kind....... how can peop-lle be educated about behaviuour around psychiatrists, they take normal things and distort them into an illness.

antipsychotics block the sensitivity factors too I guess....currently getting some of mine back which I talking about in I'm still a free man thread

Razael,
I sent you a PM.

I can see how highly sensitive people can experience difficulties with the medical model of psychiatry. This is one reason why I believe that it is extremely important for psychiatrists, and all doctors to look at the whole person when treating them. All of their cultural and spiritual beliefs should be taken into account.

Don't even get me started on that,

"The basic problem with the medical model is that people take it literally rather than understanding it as the metaphor it is. The medical model portrays the mind as an object. It equates mind with brain and uses this assumption to justify defining certain thoughts, feelings, and behavior as medical diseases. It is like thinking that a model plane can actually board passengers and fly, or that spring fever is a medical symptom..."

Also lets think for a minute what coercive psychiatry behind locked doors feels like to a highly Sensitive Person.

there are actually a lot of highly sensitive people out there, a lot would get diagnosed with mental illness and get antagonised in hospital or talking to quacks

I actually am sensitive enough to pickup on how say authority think and feel about me, even when I am on high dose of antipsychotic they come through and I have learnt to eject them out of my mind for if I go into the thoughts they want me to have they have power over me.....this could be part of being a highly sensitive person, being able to read minds or atleast when you are under their intervention and power over the integrity of mind, I pick up on it since I have such a clear relationship with my mind I can tell what is my thoughts thoughts of a higher power or thoughts from industry trying to make me think a certain way about myself...yeah it can cause me problems but I know its a challenge and must make ammends with the people i find intrusive, with clarity and power of communication synchronicity timing and karma...... it should all balance out....
