My husband is complete opposite to me and I only recently realised i am an HSP. Before, I felt I was just different and I tried to consider whether others have the same sensitivities as me and therefore why do I react differently to events or life in general than others around me.
I do need time to be on my own, and I do tend to become overwhelmed when there is a lot to do, flustered. I'm not good with sudden changes in routine; it has to be incremental and when anything goes wrong without notice, it's practically the end of the world for me!
My husband is completely the opposite to me, more carefree. It's taken a long time for him to understand me, and accomodate my personality. He thought I was always "thinking too much and worrying too much" about anything and everything, and couldn't see why my reactions to events or general life issues was so meaningful and why I couldn't overlook things or was being deeply or overly affected by what he feels are trifles or everyday occurances one doesn't think twice about or even notice.
