How to approach highly sensitive people

Highly sensitive people (HSPs) are those who have a heightened sensitivity to various stimuli, such as emotions, sounds, lights, smells, and textures. They make up about 15 to 20 percent of the population, and they have many strengths, such as empathy, creativity, and intuition. However, they also face many challenges, overstimulation happens to them often and they are very overwhelmed by criticism. HSPs often feel misunderstood and isolated by others who do not share their sensitivity. Therefore, it is important to know how to approach them in a respectful and supportive way. Here are some tips on how to do that.

“May December” Knows What It Thinks, and That’s a Problem

Some of the main conflicts in Todd Haynes’s new film, “May December” (which opens Friday), are practically shouted from behind the camera, and they drown out other ones on which the story equally depends. The movie is a loose adaptation of the real-life story of Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau, who met in the mid-nineties at middle school and began a sexual relationship. Letourneau was a teacher in her thirties; Fualaau was twelve. Letourneau was convicted of rape and went to prison. They had two daughters together and, after her release, reunited and married.

Facing the Rivals | The New Yorker

Though Henri and Marie-Céleste took the spotlight off me, they did not relieve me of my primary burden. Their rapport was principally with my father, who appreciated both their humor and their intellect—I always thought that my dad, who worked in factories from age fourteen until his retirement, might in different circumstances have become an academic himself. I had few conflicts with my father, the more broad-minded of my parents by some distance. My mother clearly enjoyed the company of Henri and Marie-Céleste, but wasn’t quite as close to them, because they lacked the one quality she considered essential: piety. My mother was a hard-shell peasant Catholic who had never read the Bible but believed fervently in rituals, icons, beads, scapulars, and above all the spiritual benefits of har...
