Today I learned that there is such thing as a highly sensitive person.

Highly sensitive people have a more sensitive nervous system than others, so that they can detect subtleties in their environment (which would be an advantage in a predator-prey situation). Highly sensitive people are described as being "aware that other people's moods affect them, conscientious and/or meticulous, uncomfortable around loud noise or bright lights, needing frequent alone time to recover from overwhelming situations or over-stimulation, or rattled when too much is being asked of them."

This. Is. Me.
