Community Description:Sensitivity, HSP & Empathy
This community is all about learning that you are okay just the way you are. You are not too sensitive. Here you can share your sensitivities - whether it's empathy, having a sensitive nervous system, being HSP, feeling sensory overload, and anything related to this.

There will be passages from books posted, with helpful ideas and tips for ways to cope within an overstimulating world. Ask questions, share concerns and joys.
