Mood swings, taking things too personally, feeling that nobody understands you, trouble keeping friends, cutting people out of your life — are only some of the characteristics of a highly sensitive person. What can you do?

This message is so true, I knew people who were highly sensitive and also was a highly sensetive person. You tend to make a big deal out of nothing and get offended by people who easily who never really hurt you or intended to. You really need to think before you act and "not act on emotions".

Before I had characteristics of a highly sensitive person and it is true what you said Bishop, I was quite unhappy. Since I started coming to church I realised that being this type of person was wrong and have since worked on controlling my emotions. Better to think rationally than emotionally.
Very strong. I use to be highly sensitive and it's very true that we see the fault in others rather than looking at our selfs. It is a challenge to fight to overcome this characteristic, but if you are willing to change, the anything is truly possible.
Watching this helped me to see the characteristics that i no longer had (which i used to have before) and some of the things i still possess. I really appreciated the solutons you gave and not just outlining the problems. Yes it is important to be more reasonable and use our head then go by what we feel and improve communication skills.
People who are like what Bishop described live miserable life's. I am speaking for my self because I used to have "mood swings" and would be easily hurt by insignificant things. Today I see them as insignificant but at that time I saw it as something huge. Though I was hurt on the inside I would portray a tough character on the outside... that was sort of a "mechanism" that I had developed after being rejected so many times.
If a 'friend' of mine was harsh or said something about my past that really hurt me, I would exclude that person from my path and simply moved on. My reactions were completely wrong and that caused me to loose very good potential friendships. The more I took things personal the more I ended up being hurt to the point that I thought that everyone misunderstood me!
Its all just SO childish that its really not worth any one's time. Thank God that I saw all my mistakes and decided to change, because the odds of me being anywhere far in life were basically none. Its like what my mom would always tell me "don't be a sugar cane that melts away when rain comes..." in other words don't be too sentimental!
Bishop Renato,
What you say is absolutely true and so, so good.
I am sure it will help many people.
All the best to you.
THIS IS TRUE, SOME PEOPLE ARE SENSITIVE WE HAVE TO WATCH WHAT WE SAY BECAUSE THEY WILL GET MAD AND IT WILL CAUSE A FIGHT THEY ALSO WILL HAVE MOOD SWING. IS NOT HEALTHY FOR US AND FOR SPIRITUAL LIFE.
I can say for my self that I used to be very sensitive person, I miss understood people and vice verse. And because of this I use to keep grudges in my heart which affected me to be an open person. I really understand that to leave in a world you cannot let your emotions take over your mind meaning taking control over your emotions. I really agree because this is why many people do not move forward with their lives because they do not understand that the world we live in is not gonna change. But they can change and will not be affected by the circumstances which surrounds them.
Thanks Bishop

I had similar characteristics of a highly sensitive person at a very young age, I found any comment that was made by someone else which went against what I said to be offensive and disrespectful.But luckly I grew out of that and learned that not everyone will agree with what I say and most of the time will be against me, therefore not taking it to heart is the way forward otherwise i would have been unhappy all my life.
Yes i WAS a highly sensitive person i had all these charastatics that was stated in the video-this video is really good thankyou for this post. Now that I have the spirit of Jesus I am able to overcome these situation and not using my emotions to take over me as this was the case on how I will deal with my situation before- this was such a battle for me as I got hurt many times in the past so everything I took it personal leaving me filled with so much emotions anger, sadness and depression. it is important to think before you take action.
this man does not have a clue that HSP is genetically linked and thus may do some damage with his approach which is abusive to the HSP. See Elaine Aron on youtube: The Highly Sensitive Person" and the "Undervalued Self" about the HSP in love. He obviously has a patriarchal approach. See Patricia Evans' videos also for info on reality 1 and reality 2 and control and abuse.
