Are Narcissists Highly Sensitives Gone Bad?
Malignant narcissists: HSPs gone bad? Posted on June 12, 2015 by luckyotter The concept of malignant narcissism and HSP traits coexisting in the same person is a matter that has very little research behind it (I could find nothing at all on Google), so this article is based on my own opinions, gleaned through a combination of my readings and personal observations of the narcissists I have known. My opinion may come as a surprise. In my article A Match Made in Hell: Narcissists and HSPs, I wrote about the tendency for narcissists and HSPs to form trauma-bonds with each other–that’s really...

Strong women leaders, who are highly sensitive, don’t relate and don’t...
Read MoreHow to Set Healthy Boundaries for Highly Sensitive People
I don’t know about you, but as a sensitive child, no one taught me how to create healthy boundaries. And, no one around me modeled healthy boundaries.

I’m not the same person I was 15 years ago, because I’ve allowed myself to have a good life. What about you, do you want a really good life? In order to create my good life, I had to change. When I decided to create a really good life, I was living a fear driven life. I didn’t feel supported, good enough, or perfect enough to matter even though I had family and friends who loved me. I buried my feminine (except in the bedroom) because the masculine felt more empowering. My sensitivity made me feel weak. These are just some of the feelings, beliefs and thoughts I had to...
