This is the highly sensitive person podcast, a weekly podcast for people who experience the world brighter, louder, and more intensely.

Join me on a journey of acceptance of our highly sensitive person traits.

Welcome to episode 33. I'm your host Kelly. In this podcast, I talk about my observations and

personal experiences being a highly sensitive person. I want to kick off today's show by sharing a

comment from the blog from a reader named Jeff. Jeff writes, it has only been very recently

that I've come to accept myself as a highly

sensitive person. I was raised with great support of parents, but my mom is a tough Montana lady

that always pushed me to be more rugged. My whole life, in light of this, I've tried to be someone

I'm not. Police officer, black belt, alpha dog.

Your site has helped me realize that it's okay to be who I am, something I'm very proud of.

Thanks so much for sharing, Jeff.

It's okay to be highly sensitive.

It's not a bad thing.

You aren't alone.

for introverts and HSPs in the past, I've always said that sales, in my opinion, is one of the

worst jobs. Sales is convincing someone to buy something. I think the job of sales doesn't jive

with HSPs because it involves rejection.
