Highly Sensitive Girls (HSG) Sensory-Processing Sensitivity (SPS)

Approximately 20 to 30 percent of both girls and boys are highly sensitive people. Being highly sensitive is not abnormal. You were born with the trait. Over 100 species, including cats, dogs, fish, and birds, can be highly sensitive.

If you are a highly sensitive girl, your mind works in a way that is not like other people who are not as sensitive as you. HSGs are more attuned to small differences and the little things in life. You see your world more deeply, and it affects you more. HSGs are more influenced by past experiences. For example, if you grew up happy and had a great childhood, you might be a happier adult than a non-sensitive person. If you had a sad childhood, you might be more likely to suffer from mental health ailments. HSGs are more likely to feel bewildered. Because they notice details more, they can become more stirred when life feels too intense. HSGs tend to use caution before acting; they are sometimes called timid or sensitive. 70% of all HSGs are introverts.

In China, Highly Sensitive People are very much valued. Children in China are attracted to and prefer sensitive kids as friends, and sensitive friends are considered more loyal than non-sensitive ones. Typically, sensitive children are popular at school in China. Culture in China and certain other places in the world is very different from the West.
