A person highly sensitive to their surroundings is typically in a state of heightened awareness and emotional distress. Their body and mind are constantly bombarded with sensory input, which can lead to a range of symptoms, including:
- Emotional arousal: Intense feelings of anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, or confusion.
- Distress: A feeling of unease, worry, or helplessness.
- Sensory overload: A constant barrage of stimuli, including sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures.
- Anxiety and panic attacks: A heightened sense of fear and anxiety.
- Sleep disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure: This can be a sign of stress and potentially lead to cardiovascular problems.
- Changes in mood and behavior: Mood swings, irritability, and changes in eating or sleeping habits.
The intensity of these symptoms can vary from person to person, and they may be exacerbated by stress, trauma, or other factors.
