For you HSP's or 'just actualizing HSP's' I made an <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hsp-quiz" rel="nofollow">HSP Quiz</a> over here. No need to sign up or anything like that. Just take it. It takes about 10 minutes and I hope you find it fun. :) Oh yeah, almost forgot. For you HSP’s or ‘just actualizing HSP’s’ I made an HSP Quiz over here. No need to sign up or anything like that.

Yes @Deborah... as an HSP I was particularly prone to gossip about myself and @Jean and @Marie, yes when people told me things not my business but yes, that reflected THEM *or* my own weird secret desire to find out so I could change. Um. "change" them _or_ me...haha. I think for the HSP it's more of a life-saving device. If I didn't grow into this sincere awareness [and it WAS growth, being taught in this world that I am only as valuable as what others think of me], I would have stayed drunk and agoraphobic for example. @Scott - Thanks for that! Yes. I believe there are no unique thoughts but unique expressions of Spirit. Further, I think that higher thoughts DO eventually get to those who seek them. :))) Thanks so much you guys! Oh and I'm on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/livingsamsara" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a> and @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/livingsamsara" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a>now so you can keep up. I love hearing that I am not the only one who has deeply struggled into the awareness that what people think about me is NOT my business. Thank you guys for sharing how this has helped you!

I recently started therapy because I got to a point where I felt like I was certainly going to lose myself completely. I sought therapy. During therapy I was told I'm a HSP. Finally! It all started to make sense. She proceeded to tell me all that was good about being this way, much of which you write about. All my life I never understood how to live like everyone else, why so much overwhelmed me, and simply how to relate to people. This lead to a problem with alcohol. I want you to know your work is important. I value what I find here. Thank you for sharing your journey. I’ve just disovered your website and writings and I’m so thankful!

I have been struggling with what to do about the gossip at work as the business owners are the main perps! Boy did I want to tell them off. Secretly, I was mostly concerned about what they were saying about me (and my giant ego)! This really shed some light for (on) me. Also, I remembered how during my early years my mother always talked about how she overheard her mother-in-law say she wished my father had married a girl from his home county. My mother used this to hate on my grandmother for their entire relationship! What a waste of time. Hey Samsara this was just what I needed.

I also googled the phrase because I heard Ru Paul say it! So glad I stumbled upon your site because I've been haunted by a comment my boyfriend's sister-in-law told me. She said that my boyfriend's mother & sister said they liked his ex more than me. I was taken aback by this because here I thought I was well liked by them. That news caused problems in my relationship. Of course, insecurities the comparisons within myself and his past. I was so upset & sometimes it still bothers me. I wished she never would've told me. Now I realize that she said this because she has her own issues with them. And maybe this was her way to get me on her side, in case she needed it. I was perfectly happy not knowing, and after reading this, I will continue to be happy. I know who I am, and I'm in loving relationship. What my boyfriend's family (and everyone else) thinks of me is none of my business! :) Hi! I also googled the phrase because I heard Ru Paul say it!

I am so excited for you in noticing that. I love the synchronicity and equally happy to see I am not the only one who uses the term *synchronistically.* :-) Catherine - That happens when one is CLEARLY being shown one is on the right track.

I googled the phrase "it's none of my business what you think of me"... and found your site. The most incredible part is that TODAY I ws gifted "The Four Agreements" as well as the newest book; "The Fifth Agreement". WOW! How does that happen?!!?
