A while back I was invited to write at Space2Live.net about the things that can sap our energy as HSPs and introverts without us necessarily realising. Knowing WHY you feel a certain way makes it a lot easier to cope with and recognise HOW you can address it. It’s amazing how much more effective you can be when you have even a slight increase of understanding about yourself and your relationship with the world.

So here are 12 potential energy suckers that we all experience, but that may be especially poignant to the highly sensitive person.

Subtleties in the Environment

Pain

Sudden Noise

Information

Being Rushed

Change

Emotional Environments

Over-Thinking

Too Much on Your Plate

Confrontation

Being Observed

Being Labelled

Do you identify with any of the stimulating factors on this list? Do you subject yourself to over-arousal without being consciously aware of it?
