Have you heard of the Highly Sensitive Person trait?

Or HSP. The idea is that a person is more sensitive to their environment than normal, which leads them to think and act in certain ways. This person will be very perceptive of subtle emotions in others, which can make them very conscientious and also more afraid of rejection. For this reason they might also take perceived slights more personally than others. (I’m just summarizing here; websites on the subject go on for pages and pages.) They reflect deeply and realize the possible implications of actions, so they prefer alone time and don’t take many risks. They are very imaginative and can be artistic, with a rich inner life. They are easily overwhelmed and prefer quiet, relaxing environments, and don’t work well when being watched. Here is the wiki.

Do you know anyone like this, or feel that you are like this? Part of me thinks that it makes a lot of sense because I identify with many of the characteristics here. But the other part of me thinks this is just a way to put a positive spin on being a wimp. Supposedly, about 20% of the population is highly sensitive.
