Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

I understand what you mean AussieGran59 I cannot stand very loud noises such as alarms going off (I know that's the point) but I feel I'll die of fright. That horrible theme tune on Marriage TV series - put me in a cell and I'd confess to the worst crimes if I had to listen to it for more than a few seconds. Torture.

Some fabrics give me the shivers and I can't bear to touch sticky stuff. I can't stand parsley as it tastes like soap.

I definitely need peace and quiet after a noisy, sociable (yet enjoyable) day as I feel the need to gather myself.

Cardigans, all of those things which trouble you are ‘normal’

Are you supposed to measure it against others?
Or just decide that you have or haven't?
I've not done the quiz.

Not explicitly no. But how can you know if your inner life is rich and complex in isolation? It has to have a comparator, surely?

Well, I feel my inner life is rich.
I never go anywhere, do anything, and i haven't got anything, but i have got my brain.(such as it is)

That’s one example of the questions I found difficult to answer. Aussiegran’s MIL might have thought she had a rich inner life because she got pleasure from many activities- it’s such a woolly phrase. It’s not so much that I think the quiz is asking you to compare yourself with others as that without better definitions and some sort of baseline many of them are a bit meaningless.

Why would I need a comparator to know if I’m happy/ content. I just know I am. ?

I think I might look at the quiz, just out of curiosity ?

You don’t. That is not remotely what I said.

I’ll read again later when I’m fully awake ?
