Description

Last week, in part 1, I talked about the challenges of being a male HSP.
There is a cultural expectation that women are more emotional and sensitive than men and that men should be tough and stoic. This expectation could clash with the traits of being an HSP, for men.
Today, I talk about how to deal with those challenges as well as the positives of being an HSP and a man.
Resources mentioned in this episode:

Ted Zeff's article about highly sensitive men on Dr. Elaine Aron's website
WSJ Article on HSPs (and my response to it)

Are you highly observant and conscientious? Do you experience joy, discomfort, empathy, and emotions very intensely? Are you easily overstimulated or bothered by small changes in your environment? You aren’t alone. You just might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). In this podcast, host and blogger Kelly shares real-life experiences that may have you nodding and thinking: “I thought I was the only one who felt that way”! Introverts, people with shyness and social anxiety may also find comfort and camaraderie here. Remember--you aren’t crazy or weird…just highly sensitive!
