Sensitive: The Untold Story

I donated to help fund this film and am happy it was produced. I am an HSP and wanted our story told. The reason for my low rating is because 1) the film is highly repetitious and the same scenes appear over and over and over and to me that's extremely annoying as I get it the first time and 2) they put text over the names and titles of those on screen and while I appreciate them doing the text for the hearing impaired I want to see who the people on screen are. I watched the first two discs and half of the second but doubt I'll watch the rest of the movie because of the above. That's just my view of things and others may see it differently.

I am an Athletic Male that grew up in a very unsensitive environment. One where I was forced to be "tough" and not show feelings. My entire life I thought something was wrong with me because I was always so much more emotional than everyone else. My happiness was over the top and different and my pain was always so much deeper. I was always told to "calm down and grow up" or "get over it you wimp".

My entire life I had been searching inside of me to find the answer to this "trauma" I must have suffered to make me this way. When I saw the title of this documentry I wrote it off because "I'm not sensitive, I'm a tough guy".

I'm forever grateful I watched this. It changed everything for me and gave me confidence and understanding about my feelings that I never had. I wish someone would have told me this 30 years ago. I had always knew that I possessed something different than others but I had been made to feel ashamed of it. Now I realize what a gift it is and I pledge the rest of my life to learning to embrace it and teach other to do the same.

This was an insightful explanation of why those who are highly sensitive may feel and act differently. It was very helpful. I hope to see more documentaries on this subject from these producers.

I thought the film was very well done and beautifully put together, but I was so surprised to see the following message continue to flash on the screen about 46 minutes in:

It appears to be an Adobe Premiere error message that I can't comprehend would be left in final production.

I like this documentary and I think it's a good step forward to getting to know HSP as a trait and learning how to live and prosper with it - for both HSP and non-HSPs.

This film touches many different aspects like family and work. It is only a superficial but important and well made documentary.

There are scientific views and also very personal views on the HSP trait from many different people around the world. If you think about the fact, that this film is a very low budget film sponsored via kickstarter one has to value the outcome.

I also like the fact that there are many different aspects to HSP and there's no one-size-fits-all. Also it is not overly emotional and spiritual stuff so there something in this film for everyone.
