Social media can be tough for HSPs. Curious… does anyone design with sensory processing sensitivity in mind? 15–20% of people have a brain difference called sensory processing sensitivity—a trait that affects how we process information, emotion, and sensory input. I rarely hear people talk about this…

Thanks for tagging me, Vera. I first learned about SPS from Elaine Aron and I do consider myself in this category, although I haven't talked about it much on Farcaster. If anyone is designing with SPS in mind on the purple app, I haven't heard about it yet (but I'd like to)! I first learned about the concept of "time spaciousness" from Elaine Aron's work too, and now I use it frequently in my writing and other projects. https://hsperson.com/rebels-for-time-spaciousness/

Great article. I sympathise with gardening and washing dishes as space opening activities. If 20% are HSP I'm probably part of a further 2% who are super-HSP 😆

My heart goes out to you! I’ve learned about this all as an adult and it explains so much. I’m finding it challenging to design systems in one’s life to support the spaciousness and boundaries one needs as an hsp!

🩵 I haven't measured or tested extensively, for me the most obvious is the sense of touch. I carefully select my clothes and shoes by touch, I can't wear jewellery or makeup. Winter is tougher because it involves more clothes and they feel quite heavy. I see few people doing this so I assume it's not so common.
