All HSPs find social interactions especially stimulating because in any social interaction, we are processing deeply what is being said and what we want to say back while feeling empathy, whether we want to or not. Then we are also noticing all the subtleties in what is going on around the interaction, within the interaction, and in the other person. All of this means that social stimulation is the source of probably the majority of the stimulation we deal with in life, and therefore the source of much of our feeling overstimulated.
