I Am a Dreamer
As an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) I wondered why I usually felt mentally tired, or overwhelmed?. That the pressure of generalised anxiety, and that little mix of empathy might be taking its toll?. But?, I suppose I felt overwhelmed in most situations?..like what does that mean then?..Am I weak?, can I not handle everyday life?.
But I read up on it as a personality trait? So to speak?. And it was ticking all the right boxes!..
It said overwhelmed by loud noises, or shouting ,massive parties may not really be your scene?. Stimulated by the smell of the warm cup of coffee you're having, or by sitting alone listening to the noises in the park?..All because there's a depth behind each sense that brings meaning to every moment.
It also stated the vivid imagination present within HSP's and I could relate...could say thats why when in the presence of things underated or taken for granted..we see the beauty there. Suppose, its one reason for feeling overwhelmed in the everyday!... very recently, I've been sitting in my garden in the sunshine for hours, with so many captivating thoughts, and perspective. Almost like my mirror neurons are working in that sense??...let me explain!!..As I just found this one out too!!
The downsides to being an HSP is empathy, and noticing gradual mood changes, and behavioural changes, and then taking on board how others are feeling. Carrying their burden. So, I read us HSPs have more mirror neurons in the brain, (one part that has you mirror, or adapt someones actions, or feelings apparently?)...And one common example in most people, is when someone yawns, you may find another one will?..maybe they've passed on that feeling of tiredness?...the other one is laughing?..it can be contagious too!..causing others to start laughing too, creating random joy. But as a HSP having more mirror neurons, I'm noticing peoples change in mood, their losses, their trauma, their loneliness..its exhausting!!
And on the positive side of things, like the stimulation I get from witnessing small but amazing joys in everyday life, its almost like a drug tbh...i feel the mirror neurons might still work in the same way, if it triggers a deep memory from something so small, or vivid insights to something so distant, or microscopic can still be related to combinations of something you witnessed during childhood, as senses are always on cue, the volume is turned up in all aspects...life can be amazing, everything is in depth...overwhelming from both sides, and perhaps its why being alone is so bliss, too much noise is just a distraction, although?, it seems we're still focused in a way?, detecting small details, even when we're unawares x
