I found something out about myself today: This- The Highly Sensitive Person - is me.
I had no idea that existed before today, but now that I know, I feel like I'm trying to go back through everything else in my life and view it through this new lens.
So much of my life is explained through this idea of HSP.
Here's what's interesting to me...
I am an INFJ. I'm also a Type 6 (no idea of wings...). I also am diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. And now I've discovered that I am a HSP (not only that, but I score a 91% on the test...).
My husband and I were discussing which traits of mine come from where.
His thought is that they are inseparable and that they all affect each other.
I think that might be true.
My thoughts are going like this...
Do I have an anxiety disorder (OCD) because I am a HSP?
Do I classify as a "J" because of my OCD?
Would I score so high on "S" if I wasn't a HSP? Would I be more N? (I often score very close on the two)
Would I identify with INFJ so much if I wasn't a HSP?
Am I a Type 6 because of my high anxiety from being a HSP?
Or because I have OCD?
Which came first?
Born as a HSP, became a Type 6, then got OCD, then became an INFJ?
They say that HSP is inborn, and that your Myers-Briggs type develops...I personally think you are inclined at birth to be a certain type...
Lots of thoughts going through my mind, obviously.
Here's some questions I have for you, besides the onslaught of questions I just bombarded your mind with.
Are you familiar with/are you a HSP?
Even more helpful, are you a HSP who is also an INFJ?
Any INFJs with OCD?
Any Type 6 INFJs?
I just want some input. If you have it, shoot.
Ready....go.
