Both my wife (INFP) and I (INFJ) are HSPs, that is, Highly Sensitive People. Lately my wife has been feeling a little eXtra Sensitive. This cartoon is for her.
Hehe, and no to the noise of vacuum cleaners, mowers, cars with modifications, chainsaws. Even the dishwasher and washing machine are a little too loud for my liking.
I love quiet, just back from a cruise , spent a week sitting on my own bel cont with my sewing listening to the ocean & the ships engine. It’s been great
Not really, but you do have to pick your cabin carefully. We had a cabin right at the back, with a nice large balcony, we were high up with one of the outdoor pools above us. I suppose it helps if you go on a cold cruise, not many brave the outdoor pool in Norway, I don’t know what it would be like on a Mediterranean cruise. I do find it difficult if there are too many sea days close together. It also helps the more times you have been, as you learn when certain places are quiet:)
It means a lot when you find out you’re not the only one. I can’t stand the bathroom fan or ticking clock. But loud people are the worst. I’m finding it harder to go out in public. 😕
That’s so true. A bipolar friend came over after your post and was very manic. He laughed at all his own jokes at very high decibels. It was a trial. BAHAHAHA! 😳
Oh this is so perfect. Thank you for sharing!

I think I take HSP to a whole new level – but that’s partly due to the ME/CFS.

Loud people are challenging. I was just thinking the other day about what makes laughter either endearing or annoying. 🙂
