Imagine accepting yourself for the first time.
Imagine realizing that you aren't the only person who feels the way you do.
Imagine no longer wishing you were like everyone else.
"A Highly Sensitive Person's Life" is like having a cup of tea with a good friend while chatting about issues that only another HSP would understand.
Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), introvert, blogger, and podcaster Kelly O'Laughlin balances humor and sound advice in this blog-style collection of personal stories and honest reflections. Readers may see themselves described in these pages and think: "I didn't know anyone else felt this way " You might even discover surprising new insights.
Many HSPs have spent years feeling defective, wrong, or weird. O'Laughlin's relatable, down-to-earth narrative provides a sense of being part of a community, empowering the reader to understand and accept his or herself, and how to deal-and thrive-in a world that is full of stimulus. (With a sense of humor and some attitude.)
A variety of topics are covered, including: loud noises, bad smells, stagnant air, caffeine, scary & violent movies, creativity, empathy, dealing with loss, anxiety, decisions, peacefulness, misophonia, parties & social events, friendship, childhood, control, commitment, appreciation of art & nature, and aging.
