Yeah. And both, both, both. Yeah. It is true. The other way around is true as well. And it's, it's a real, it's a real shame. I mean, it, it matters a lot. What kind of partners you choose? Do you have sensitive, do you have partners who are sensitive to your triggers? Do you have partners who are going to gaslight you, abuse you, you know? Especially, you know, if you have a genome that

makes you super sensitive to that sort of thing it is interesting though there are some people these genes that don't that make them just rock solid like stoic regardless of like whatever's thrown at them um that that's interesting you know there's like a genetic peculiarity towards that as well you know i don't know maybe david got those genes or maybe he developed it maybe he's maybe he was the other way and he developed it who knows but um but it is interesting um

So yes, so of course we should have compassion as well for all the different ways epigenetics happen, but I don't think it means that there's no hope. I mean, like you said, it makes it harder, especially in childhood.

I bring up childhood because in adulthood, if these things happen, you're really influenced a lot by these sensitive periods in your life when your brain is still developing, when your prefrontal cortex is developing, and you're coming up with cognitive strategies to overcome things and learn things. But I do think you can learn these strategies at any point in your life to a certain extent.

Yeah, thanks for the opportunity. And we should also talk about the link between masculinity and being an HSP because I think a lot of men score high in this trait and feel shamed of it because they feel like societal expectations say that they're a sissy boy or something just because they score high in these traits.

But being a highly sensitive person is the combination of two traits, neuroticism that we talked a little bit about, which is being fearful, having a lot of anxiety, but also people who are highly sensitive also score very high in openness to experience. appreciation of beauty and excellence.
