HSP

HSP, or Highly Sensitive Person, refers to individuals who naturally process sensory information more deeply and intensely than others. This means they are more aware of subtleties in their environment, which can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed in busy or noisy settings. HSPs tend to be empathetic, thoughtful, and reflective, often experiencing emotions more vividly. It's a personality trait—not a disorder—and it simply describes a heightened sensitivity to stimuli that may influence how someone perceives and interacts with the world around them.
