yeah, I scored 22, and it could have been higher if I let myself.

One thing I had to say "that's not me", was when it says HSP are highly imaginative. Then I said "unless it's me catastrophizing something". And it's true, I tend to be quite negative, so I'll think up of a worst-case scenario and I'll be running off with it into the worst possible scenarios.

It's interesting that I'm always the one turning the volume down on the car radio or the t.v. It's like I can't think if it's on too loud. But at the same time, I like to have the t.v. on, but low or on mute if I'm doing something like cooking or talking on the phone.

I'm very attuned to other people's moods, too. And I've never been good at dealing with criticism, especially if it's coming from a loved one.
