Kindle Notes & Highlights
a general description of it would be that the minority that has inherited it has adopted a survival strategy of pausing to check, observe, and reflect on or process what has been noticed before choosing an action. The others pay less attention and are less sensitive to their environments.
the negative emotions are greatly decreased by personality qualities or skills labeled together as part of the trait of mindfulness: nonreactivity, nonjudging, acceptance, ability to describe feelings, and acting with awareness. Anxiety is lower in HSPs with this trait, particularly when we have the quality of acceptance.
Everyone, HSP or not, feels best when neither too bored nor too aroused.
