Are creative people more likely to be highly sensitive?

Judith Orloff, MD writes: "Since emotions such as fear, anger, and frustration are energies, you can potentially “catch” them from people without realizing it. "If you tend to be an emotional sponge, it’s vital to know how to avoid taking on an individual’s negative emotions or the free-floating kind in crowds."

WOMEN are moody. By evolutionary design, we are hard-wired to be sensitive to our environments, empathic to our children’s needs and intuitive of our partners’ intentions. This is basic to our survival and that of our offspring. Some research suggests that women are often better at articulating their feelings than men because as the female brain develops, more capacity is reserved for language, memory, hearing and observing emotions in others... When we are overmedicated, our emotions become synthetic. For personal growth, for a satisfying marriage and for a more peaceful world, what we need is more empathy, compassion, receptivity, emotionality and vulnerability, not less. We need to stop labeling our sadness and anxiety as uncomfortable symptoms, and to appreciate them as a healthy, adaptive part of our biology. by Julie Holland Via Edwin Rutsch

"Fear is all around us. You feel it when you watch the news, of course. How can you not? Everything seems to be chaos...
"For those who are highly sensitive or empaths, this is even more of an issue, and it's not just fear, it's people's worries, thoughts, anger, depression, sadness. You can be taking it on from people, television, the air, etc, but not know that it's not all you."

People engage in self-injury for various reasons, including regulating their emotional states and trying to manage situations in their environment.
Some deal with their high sensitivity very well, with adequate self care and respecting their needs for boundaries and retreating, but some people take drugs, and others self-injure to deal with their stress and anxiety, which can be heightened with the trait of high sensitivity. News reports suggest that teens "are harming themselves at rates higher than previously suspected”

Shyness, introversion and high sensitivity may share some qualities, and they can overlap and interact, but they are not the same.
Many people may think of themselves as shy or at least call themselves shy as a convenient label – or they may be characterized that way by other people – when actually they are highly sensitive or introverted and therefore feel more emotionally safe and comfortable in less social situations.
