It might seem that we need to go to the other end, from feeling weak, flawed and victimised to feeling strong and superior. I consider this to be a necessary compensation. But for many HSPs, the real challenge is to achieve a middle-ground. No more ‘too shy’, ‘too sensitive’, too anything. Just OK, ordinary, normal.
