HSP? ...First, an instruction manual for the person that is me

Let's start a note...!

I have so many things I want to write and feelings I want to put into words.
But to do that...?
I realized I have to start by specifically explaining the background of who I am.
I came to that realization.

I...
probably have the traits that are commonly referred to in society asHSP?
...I finally realized it recently.
I haven't been told this by a professional.

I'll start by telling you about the daily style of a person called Chigenabe.
The daily style of a person called Chigenabe.

Essential items when going out.
They are like thearmorof a character in an RPG system.

Dark brown sunglasses.
(UV protection from sunlight + lowering the resolution of a world that is too visible + consideration to avoid looking away unnaturally from people's gazes)

Disposable mask
(protecting my sense of smell from all kinds of odors... atmospheric smells, sewage smells, construction site smells, cigarette smells, the smells of people passing by, fabric softener, perfume, etc. + kindness to avoid making others uncomfortable with my own breath)

Earmuffs or earphones
(protecting my ears from construction noise, train noise, the sound of people's chatter, and all kinds of sounds I cannot prevent through my own efforts + being able to pretend I am listening to music)

Simple clothes that prioritize texture
(not letting the feel of the fabric drain my nerves more than the look + ease of movement + colors and designs that are easy to blend into the scenery without standing out)

Writing it out like this...
I seem like a very suspicious person (laughs).
If you actually see Chigenabe...
Oh, it's this person.
You might realize it (laughs).

I am...too sensitive to the five senses.

Especially... sound.
Smell.
People's presence.
People's emotions.

Every day, it's as if... I am in the middle of a battlefield. My five senses are stimulated too much.

Since I was a child.
I was bad with crowds.
I was bad with group life.
I was always left behind by the speed of time in the world.

After becoming an adult.
After repeating various experiences, meetings, and partings with people... I was finally able to find my true self.

So.
Now. If there is someone who is feeling very troubled and suffering from something...

I want to tell you.

Your true self is living right there.

Why don't you try listening, just a little bit, to that inner voice you are seeking...?

You might be tired.
You might be blaming yourself.
You might be thinking you have to be stronger.
You might be worrying that you have to be the perfect self that can meet the expectations of others.
But... you yourself might be asking for help.
You, who think and worry so much for the sake of others...

I think you are a very kind and precious existence.
I want to be sincere.

I want to interact with work and people carefully...
I want to live with all my might.
That is...

In such a vast world and a busy society.
Don't you think you are a very kind and precious existence...?
