Sensitive: The Untold Story

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.

As men, think about all those things (good and bad) that drive you crazy about women. Now, if you want to know what is like having an HSP girlfriend, imagine amplifying all those traits x10.

I've been 15 years with an HSP woman. I had the best and the worst moments in my life, every week was an emotional rollercoaster full of drama, circle discussions, reconciliations, reproaches, love and (unfortunately) hate. It was utterly exhausting and in the end, so emotionally taxing that made me unhappy and unable to enjoy a quiet and simple life.

She told me she was HSP but I never understood what that really meant until it was too late and I was totally addicted to her. She is a wonderful yet an impossible person to live with. Of course HSP supports groups always tell how amazing and wonderful is to have such deep feelings, but tbh, I don't think it's how the human are meant to be made. They are just too vulnerable to everything, and the scars they get from life are so deep, they never forget nor fully forgive, NEVER.

Just keep in mind and take this advice seriously. With an HSP person you will be signing for the greatest emotional rollercoaster of your life. It will be a very demanding relationship, and will probably leave the best & worst emotional scars of your personal life.

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.

My mother catered to my above average smarts and sensitivity. She was an angel! Once I went to Kindergarten in 1983 none of the other kids understood why I was having all of us sit down to try to figure out our differences. It was easier for them to gossip and argue. It turned me into a bully so I wouldn't be bullied. In adulthood, when others wouldn't listen to reason, which was so apparent to me, but outlandish to them, I started to feel insecure. I was one of the first white women to have a baby with a black man in my community, I felt like if was my duty to prove to everyone who was hating other human beings wrong and it gave me a leadership role that I thought would regain my self worth. The children, elders, bosses loved me but none of my peers did. It was very isolating, but yet again, allowed me to survive. Alcohol helped me feel normal. I am paying the price for that now. Is there another video that discusses my reality, or should we make one?

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.
