Understanding what it means to be Ultra Sensitive
by christinebp
This blog says that people with bipolar are psychic?!
Well. I don’t know.. I just know they are ultra-sensitve:
1. Emotionally sensitive people feel emotions often and deeply. They feel as if they “wear their emotions on their sleeves.”
2. They are keenly aware of the emotions of people around them.
3. Sensitive people are easily hurt or upset. An insult or unkind remark will affect them deeply.
4. In a similar vein, sensitive people strive to avoid conflicts. They dread arguments and other types of confrontations because the negativity affects them so much.
5. Sensitive people are not able to shake off emotions easily. Once they are saddened or upset by something, they cannot just switch gears and forget it.
6. Sensitive people are greatly affected by emotions they witness. They feel deeply for others’ suffering. Many sensitive people avoid sad movies or watching the news because they cannot bear the weighty emotions that would drive to their core and stick with them afterwards.
7. Sensitive people are prone to suffer from recurrent depression, anxiety or other psychological disorders.
8. One the positive side, sensitive people are also keenly aware of and affected by beauty in art, music and nature. They are the world’s greatest artists and art appreciators.
9. Sensitive people are prone to stimulus overload. That is, they can’t stand large crowds, loud noise, or hectic environments. They feel overwhelmed and depleted by too much stimuli.
10. Sensitive people are born that way. They were sensitive children.
There are a couple different responses kids have to their sensitivity. One type of sensitive child is the stereotypical kid who gets picked on by bullies, and is a well-behaved, good student because she cannot stand the thought of getting into trouble. The other type of sensitive child more often experiences the stimulus overload mentioned in the previous paragraph. These children are thus over stimulated and have difficulty focusing, which causes them problems in school.
Sensitive people typically exhibit all or nearly all of the above descriptors.
One of the sure signs of a truly sensitive person is that he feels animosity toward his sensitive nature. Most sensitive people whole-heartedly wish they were tougher and more thick-skinned. They feel like their sensitivity is a weakness. They wish things didn’t bother them so much.

I’m so psychic! Its been happening for a while now, but every time I think of someone, they pop up. Or, I’ll think of a song, and its next on the radio. I think its weird, but then again… I’m bipolar lol
that sounds….. familiar.
wow.
It wouldn’t surprise me if people with bipolar are often HSP. Many with bipolar I know are, and I’m quite sensitive myself. I doubt bipolar causes people to be psychic, but I would believe if that person has psychic qualities to begin with, that bipolar would definitely magnify that at times as it does with just about any personal quality. Interesting post!
