Highly Sensitive Person; a person who is much more "sensitive" to the world around them than normal.
Being an HSP is generally confused with being autistic and/or introverted because they tend to mimic most symptoms/traits of both. While it is indeed quite common for HSP's to be introverted and/or autistic, they are NOT the same thing.

"Is he okay?"
"Yes. He's just an HSP. He gets overwhelmed by the world around him much more easily and doesn't respond well to being put under pressure."

Get the HSP mug.Highly Sensitive Person. Not an actual mental disorder or diagnosis. Used by people who want to be labeled with anything to justify their insufferable drama-seeking behavior. They create chaos and arguments out of thin air, and cannot be reasoned with because they must always be the victim. Will flip their sh*t at anything even tangentially perceived to be offensive.

Get the HSP mug.A HSP is a highly-sensitive person. HSP means that a person is overly sensitive, they feel emotions deeper than people that aren't HSPs. Their environment can overwhelm them, e.g., too much lighting or background noise. They also react strongly to many things, such as insults our things that are "just a joke". Many HSPs can't understand violence and why people are mean, but that's not a bad thing. They just want the world to be a better place. HSPs feel a strong connection to nature, art and animals. HSPs are commonly told to "grow a thicker skin," "just take a joke" or "you're so sensitive,". In many cases, non-HSPs will call them crybabies. That's not the case whatsoever, HSPs just feel emotions deeper than other people. They are similar to empaths.
Person: They're such a crybaby, why can't they take a joke for once?
Friend: It's because they're a HSP, leave them alone.
*not all people who can't take a joke are HSPS!
Friend: It's because they're a HSP, leave them alone.
