Quotes For Highly Sensitive People: HSP Quotes

 

If you consider yourself a highly sensitive person, you know how isolating that can feel. Even though HSPs make up about 20 percent of the population, it can be hard to relate to many non-HSPs. Quotes can make you feel less alone and like someone actually understands you. I know many of these quotes have helped me to feel like I am not alone in my struggles. Quotes have even helped me to realize that being a highly sensitive person is a gift. 

Enjoy these quotes and share this post with your fellow HSPs! Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!

1. “For a highly sensitive person, a drizzle feels like a monsoon.”
― Anonymous

2. “Highly sensitive beings suffer more but they also love harder…”
“…dream wider and experience deeper horizons and bliss. When you’re sensitive, you’re alive in every sense of this word in this wildly beautiful world. Sensitivity is your strength. Keep soaking in the light and spreading it to others.”
— Victoria Erickson

3. “We try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming overaroused and distressed.”
“We are a package deal, however. Our trait of sensitivity means we will also be cautious, inward, needing extra time alone. Because people without the trait (the majority) do not understand that, they see us as timid, shy, weak, or that greatest sin of all, unsociable. Fearing these labels, we try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming overaroused and distressed. Then that gets us labeled neurotic or crazy, first by others and then by ourselves.”
― Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You

4. “Am I too sensitive to be in this world?”
“How do you ever explain the feelings of anxiety and paralyzing fear? I can’t answer those questions. It’s just a feeling of ‘Am I crazy? Am I too sensitive to be in this world?’ A feeling that the world is just too complicated for me right now, and I don’t feel like I belong here. But it passes, and fortunately today I feel blessed for all the good things in my life.”
― Winona Ryder

5. “I’m extremely-extremely sensitive. I can cry at the drop of a hat…Anything upsets me. I cry all the time. I cry when I’m happy too.”
― Mandy Moore

6. “Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist…”
“I am very sensitive to the interactions I have with people. Whether it’s a momentary glance in an elevator, or a deep philosophical conversation over dinner, or a brush-by in a café, I feel (sometimes exhaustingly) attuned and affected by the subtle exchanges that pass seemingly benignly between us as human ships. Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist, and it fosters a deep burning curiosity about why we do the things we do.”
― Alanis Morissette

7. “There is nothing wrong with you if there are times you get weighed down by the heaviness of the suffering in the world.”
― Rachel Samson

8. “Highly sensitive people learned early in life to try to control the external world as a way to attempt to manage their inner one.”
― Sheryl Paul
​
9. “Everything I experience hits me deep, raw, and intense. As an empath, I feel the energy of myself and others. As I age, this ability only grows deeper and stranger.”
― Sylvester McNutt III

10. “Even a moderate and familiar stimulation like a day at work can cause a highly sensitive person to need quiet by evening.”
― Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You

11. “I can’t stand chaos. I hate loud environments. Art makes me cry. No, I’m not crazy; I’m a textbook example of a highly sensitive person.”
— Anne Marie Crosthwaite, You’re Not Crazy, You’re a Highly Sensitive Person

12. “It seems my heart is made of tissue paper; I wish the world would handle it more delicately.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

13. “The highly sensitive person has an important mission…”
“The highly sensitive person has an important mission, which is to serve as a balance to the more aggressive behavior of some of the non-HSPs who advocate a less than nurturing policy toward humans, animals, and Mother Nature.”
― Ted Zeff, The Highly Sensitive Person’s Survival Guide: Essential Skills for Living Well in an Overstimulating World
