The Highly Sensitive Person Podcast

25. Using high sensitivity as a "crutch"


Listen Later

In this episode 25, I share some quotes from people in relationships with HSPs who are fed up! They say that HSPs are selfish and don't try to improve themselves. This bums me out and I hope that I don't act this way in my own relationship.

Do you ever worry that your partner is ignoring their own needs to help you with yours? Let me know in the comments below.
