Highly Sensitive Person, or HSP, is a term coined by psychologist Elaine Aron. HSPs are a subset of the population who have a high personality trait known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity, or SPS.

Those with high levels of SPS show increased emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to both external and internal stimuli—pain, hunger, light, and noise—and a complex inner life.
It is believed that highly sensitive people are more disturbed than others by violence, stress, or feelings of being overwhelmed. As a result, they may make concerted efforts to avoid situations in which such things are likely to happen. On the more positive side of this trait, high sensitivity is thought to be associated with higher levels of creativity, richer interpersonal relationships, and a greater appreciation of beauty.
Is severe allergy a disorder?
According to Aron’s conception of high sensitivity, it is not a mental health disorder; Rather, it is defined, like other aspects of personality, as a trait present in every person to varying degrees.
Hypersensitivity is not a disorder, but highly sensitive people are more susceptible to many other psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression, especially when they are in an inappropriate environment that does not support that person’s sensitivity, but rather increases pressure on him in word and deed, and does not appreciate his feelings and thoughts.
