Ok, I have to say this- a lot of what is being described as 'highly sensitive' here are things that I just think of as normal.
Since when did needing to be alone sometimes, crying at sad things, an aversion to loud noises, glaring lights, relentless music, crowded situations, and strong unpleasant odors... become 'highly sensitive' traits? If you ask me (which admittedly no one has, lol) people who are not affected by such things are 'highly desensitized'!
I cry at weddings and at strangers' funerals too. I also love to laugh (but not at funerals).
