I also think that social sensitivity, I think being able to be in a conversation and feel what another person is feeling or take in a lot of information, even nonverbal cues, not be blind to them, can be very valuable. It can help you make you a more caring human in a lot of ways. So we have the creativity, we have the sort of social aspects. I think also just appreciating life.
Being able to see beauty where other people don't see beauty could be a big part of it as well. You do tend to find, they actually have separated, I talk about this study in some of my articles, but they separate the appreciation of beauty and excellence part from the anxiety part.

And I find that if you separate that part of the high sensitivity, it's actually correlated with much higher levels of happiness and well-being. whereas the anxiety part is correlated with lower levels of anxiety and well-being. So I think there are good things we can take from being a highly sensitive person and we can try to manage the other parts.

Yeah. I think this is really important for people like you to admit that. I was in a movie recently called Sensitive Men Rising starring me and Alanis Morissette and Luke Goss. Do you know who Luke Goss is, the actor? No. Google him. Luke G-O-S-S. He reminds me of you a little bit. Okay. He's, you know, he's very buff. Very good looking. He's bald.

But he... really talks in this movie about how he thinks he's a highly sensitive person and how he feels like there should be, there shouldn't be this stigma about manly looking men saying that they're highly sensitive people. And I really agree with that. I agree with that completely.
