But with the right guidance, the many “mismatches” in this world can have the most fulfilling relationships of all. Lets start with the temperament we know, sensitivity. About 20% of us are highly sensitive persons (HSPs); at least 34% of love relationships involve an HSP.

Can I date a highly sensitive person?

Dating a highly sensitive person is quite challenging because the brain of an HSP is wired differently. The parts of the brain for social and emotional processing are more active than that of non-HSPs. Because of this, they will have different needs and they might even have a totally different love language.

What triggers HSP?

HSP is an autoimmune disorder. This is when the bodys immune system attacks the bodys own cells and organs. With HSP, this immune response may be caused by an upper respiratory tract infection. Other immune triggers may include an allergic reaction, medicine, injury, or being out in cold weather.
