As highly sensitive people, most of us have a natural curiosity about the world and have a passion for learning. Sometimes we may want to explore something, but have no idea where to start. The good news is that there are “teachers” all around us.

For example, we don’t have narcissistic or Machiavellian tendencies or a high degree of extraversion.

My goal is to emphasize the strengths of high sensitivity and to encourage others to work with what they have.
