“HSPs tend to fill that advisor role. We are the writers, historians, philosophers, judges, artists, researchers, theologians, therapists, teachers, parents, and plain conscientious citizens. What we bring to any of these roles is a tendency to think about all the possible effects of an idea. Often we have to make ourselves unpopular by stopping the majority from rushing ahead. Thus, to perform our role well, we have to feel very good about ourselves. We have to ignore all the messages from the warriors that we are not as good as they are. The warriors have their bold style, which has its value. But we, too, have our style and our own important contribution to make.”
― Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person

“I am deeply moved by things. I’d hate to miss the intense joy of that.”
― Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You
