Sensitive: The Untold Story

Really good subject to approach, since it's been not that much written about it, and shown in film until now. I'd definitely would like to see more of this.

However, I'd like to see a more proper technical production not involving different aspect ratios, different loudness and audio levels and unbalanced frequencies, lots of effects and transitions disturbing the story that's about sensivity after all. At least the bokeh's look good.

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 am not a person that cries that easy, but I sobbed watching this. I finally felt I had an answer for who I am and why I am the way I am. What a gift.

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 think that this documentary is (hopefully) more for the NON-HSP than HSPs, although the documentary sounded a lot of times like "You can do better, we support you HSP."... and somehow I wished that this documentary was more for the ones who do not know what HSP is actually. I came across this while doing research and although I was delighted to hear some of the researchers speak on screen (I was excited to see one Ph.D. from Bamberg where I actually grew up!), but seriously: the repetitive imagery, the weird cinematography (at times), the weird sound overlays and the overall not tooooo appealing visuals were not very amusing to watch. I mean yes, it is a documentary and needs to inform, but I can't get rid of the feeling that there was used an awfully lot of stock footage. (and bad actors... sorry guys :( ).

But enough of the bad talking, I liked the structure of the narration / information and hope that this film will help a few people out there either to explain HSPs to non-HSPs or can reflect on HSP while being one themselves.

I am, personally, a HSP and still try to figure out my detailed trait-set together with introversion and attachment style to understand myself better. I somehow wished as well to have heard more research in this film about all that stuff, like how introversion connects with for example fearful-avoidant or dismissive-avoidant attachment styles WITH HSPs, but then again - this is a too specialized topic, I guess. I am happy they spoke about parenting as well and the workplace, which is a huge deal for many HSPs, I think. (I got around this by having a HSP mother and learning early in my life to follow my needs and for example work from home early on)

So: nice documentary but not the blockbuster you might expect due to advertising/visuals/trailer. But like the film said: HAVE MERCY. So I have mercy with it as well and say: good job folks! Thanks for producing this!
