The Psychology of People Who Feel Everything Too Deeply (Psychology Explains)

You pulled over because of a song. Not even a sad one. And you sat there wondering: why am I like this? This video explains the psychology behind people who feel everything too deeply — and why it's not a flaw. Psychologist Elaine Aron has studied Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) since the 1990s. What she found: roughly 1 in 5 people have a nervous system that processes the world more deeply — not more dramatically. More deeply. An fMRI study by Acevedo & Aron (2014) showed that highly sensitive brains have stronger activation in areas connected to empathy and awareness. Not overreacting. Doing more work. You were not given too much feeling. You were given a different kind of noticing. 📌 Research in this video: → Aron & Aron (1997) — Sensory Processing Sensitivity: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9248053/ → Acevedo et al.
