#HSPs
A fellow HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) shared a video clip with me that blew my mind. It referenced HSPs’ need for guilt-free alone time.

But the thing is, HSPs (generally) are also highly sensitive to how others feel.

THUS WE WANT TO BE ALONE BUT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT!

This explains so much.

The phenomenon has grown as self-described HSPS have listed every autistic trait in the DSM-5 – but have insisted they’re just empaths who absorb the spirtual energy of everyone around them.

Just wait until he discovers HSPs, in 2050.
Is it 1981?

HSPs for dinner as I just got home and my partner cannot cook as she hurt herself yesterday having a fall. And before you ask, no I cannot cook.

"Embrace ‘radical acceptance’."

Oh, ok! I shoulda thought of that! 🤦

I’ve found psych material about HSPs (highly sensitive people) to be exactly as helpful as guidance about having autism—in fact often more, because it’s usually more specific to my autistic phenotype.

K. He actually made me cry Lol

But seriously—So much actually does go unnoticed in the career of a nurse. The emotional toll, upon some rns—who are a little more highly sensitive persons (HSPs)—in time, accumulates. Eventually, causing too much inner damage..driving them out of the career field :-/

God I have missed HSPs.

The same goes for Oxford and Cambridge. Their PPE / HSPS courses have created some of the most imbecilic politicians/Prime Ministers we have the misfortune to endure.

chills guaranteed.

The jail closed in 1969 and now operates as a museum under the Historical and Preservation Society of Pottawattamie County (HSPS). But even as a museum, the shadows linger. From the early 1900s to the 1950s, staff noticed strange happenings—footsteps in empty halls,

For all of the empaths and HSPs out there. 💙🦋
Take a minute to make sure you are not taking on other people's energy. You are inclined to take care of others. It is not your responsibility. Practice compassion without carrying the burden. Inhale. Exhale. 💗🫂

Incidentally, I see stuff like this as a huge reason why many people on or overlapping with the autism spectrum often gravitate toward similar concepts with different branding, like HSPs, empaths, etc. It does actually help communicate needs you have, but with less of the concept baggage.
I hate how effectively autism has been branded “the awkwardness disease” instead of a complex difference that involves a ton of serious disability

Last night with the boy for this trip down. Gonna rail him, order HSPs, and then watch The Return of the King.
