Highly Sensitive Person

[slightlyjaded]

I am 100% a HSP. I feel like people like me but don’t stick around.

I don’t have anyone that calls me their best friend.

I have anxiety issues and depression. Such a catch lol

I feel like I’m a mess and I have too much wrong with me to be loved.

Feeling sorry for myself as usual. This time I decided to reach out.

Hi I feel that way too!! I feel like all of my friends end up leaving me because they secretly don’t like me or find me annoying. I also feel sorry for myself all the time then feel guilty about it. I don’t know about you, but I also overanalyze everything my friends say r text me. Welcome You’ll find lots of friends here who understand!

Thanks Sam.

Yes I definitely over analyze most situations, especially when you message someone and they haven’t responded for days. Weeks now really. Ugh

Hi Slightlyjaded,

I fall into the HSP category too! Anxiety and depression are no strangers around here, but there is hope for us. I don't think I would have said that a year ago.

It’s nice to talk to people who understand. 🙂

I have depression and some anxiety but I have friends. I also have a good sense of humour, am a good listener, show an interest in them and so on. Don't let your illnesses mark your card.

I was playing cards today with a regular group and I was a bit dozy and made a few mistakes and I got picked up on them. I just made it into a joke and said things like 'It's hard to play so badly so I have skill' etc. Or 'You are a fine one to talk after that mess you made'. If said with humour everyone will laugh instead. If I got embarrassed or obviously upset then it would cause waves in the group and they wouldn't want to play with me any more. Make sure any nice people you are with enjoy your company and never make them feel uneasy or unhappy. If you do then they might think they have done something wrong and apologise to you. Then they will probably avoid you so they won't upset you in the future. x

I totally hear what you’re saying and for the most part I try to keep upbeat and happy around my friends. I do have friends just not a best friend.

I’ve been through a lot and am dealing with pretty heavy stuff right now so I think maybe it’s that I’m a potential downer

[hypercat54]

Yes I get that. When I feel like that I tend to avoid people as much as possible until I feel a bit better. One of your current friends might become a best friend as I have found friendships are in a constant state of flux.

I hope you are feeling better soon. x

I think highly sensitive people make great catches! We're more empathetic.
