16 Habits Of Highly Sensitive People
1. They feel more deeply.
One of the hallmark characteristics of highly sensitive people is the ability to feel more deeply than their less-sensitive peers. They're very intuitive, and go very deep inside to try to figure things out.
2. They're more emotionally reactive.
People who are highly sensitive will react more in a situation. For instance, they will have more empathy and feel more concern for a friend's problems.
3. They're probably used to hearing, "Don't take things so personally" and "Why are you so sensitive?"
4. They prefer to exercise solo.
Highly sensitive people may tend to avoid team sports, where there's a sense that everyone is watching their every move. However, this is not a blanket rule -- there are some highly sensitive people who may have had parents who provided an understanding and supportive environment that would make it easier for them to participate in group sports.
5. It takes longer for them to make decisions.
Highly sensitive people are more aware of subtleties and details that could make decisions harder to make. Even if there is no "right" or "wrong" decision -- for example, it's impossible to choose a "wrong" flavor of ice cream.--- highly sensitive people will still tend to take longer to choose.
6. And on that note, they are more upset if they make a "bad" or "wrong" decision.
7. They're extremely detail-oriented.
Highly sensitive people are the first ones to notice the details in a room, the new shoes that you're wearing, or a change in weather.
8. Not all highly sensitive people are introverts.
In fact, about 30 percent of highly sensitive people are extroverts. Many times, highly sensitive people who are also extroverts grew up in a close-knit community and thus would interact with a lot of people.
9. They work well in team environments.
Because highly sensitive people are such deep thinkers, they make valuable workers and members of teams. However, they may be well-suited for positions in teams where they don't have to make the final decision.
10. They're more prone to anxiety or depression (but only if they've had a lot of past negative experiences without having a supportive environment).
11. That annoying sound is probably significantly more annoying to a highly sensitive person.
While it's hard to say anyone is a fan of annoying noises, highly sensitive people are on a whole more, well, sensitive to chaos and noise.
12. Violent movies are the worst.
Because highly sensitive people are so high in empathy and more easily overstimulated, movies with violence or horror themes may not be their cup of tea.
13. They cry more easily.
That's why it's important for highly sensitive people to put themselves in situations where they won't be made to feel embarrassed or "wrong" for crying easily.
14. They have above-average manners.
Highly sensitive people are also highly conscientious people. Because of this, they're more likely to be considerate and exhibit good manners.
15. The effects of criticism are especially amplified in highly sensitive people.
Highly sensitive people have reactions to criticism that are more intense than less sensitive people. As a result, they may employ certain tactics to avoid said criticism, including people-pleasing (so that there is no longer anything to criticize), criticizing themselves first, and avoiding the source of the criticism altogether.
16. Prefer solo work environments.
Many highly sensitive people enjoy working from home or being self-employed because they can control the stimuli in their work environments. For those without the luxury of creating their own flexible work schedules (and environments), highly sensitive people might enjoy working in a cubicle -- where they have more privacy and less noise -- than in an open-office plan.

{What Is Richness?}
"WHAT IS RICHNESS?"
There are 2 types of richness in the world..........one of money and another of thoughts. Everyone knows about richness in Money; but what about richness in thoughts, words and deeds?
Richness in thoughts is about spirituality, about goodness, about order, about joy and happiness. How to do this without having Money in your bank?
Well, my friends, you can train your mind to help you. First you have to take into consideration about your attitude to Richness. This can be achieved in Thought, Word and Deed. Think very deeply about your general attitude.
A THOUGHT is like a bomb or like Nature. It can destroy or it can create. Train your mind to be creative like Nature. Think of Goodness all the time........like inventions benefitting everyone alive on this planet. Once your mind works in this direction, then there is no stopping of your good thoughts continously, that will be creative in nature. Your mind will compel you to think that you are now Rich....... not in money, but in some other way.
What is a WORD? A word is a group of alphabates in any language having some meaning; it may be any language of the people. There are good words as well as bad words in the world. Words like love, joy, handsome, beautiful are good words; whereas words like idiot, scoundrel, robber, selfish are bad words. People will judge you by the words that come out of your lips. Hence, train yourself to always use good words. If you can train your mind to use good words, you will feel immensely Rich within yourself.
And, finaly a DEED! A deed is an action resulting from your thought. So, a DEED is connected with your THOUGHT. But there is a magic formula for a DEED. What is that?
A decision that everyday you do one good DEED a day. You may wonder and laugh at me for making such a statement. Good DEEDS are many; but very few people implement them. The most powerful word in the world is the word ALLOW. You may get amused if I say this.........But ALLOW has a lot of power! If you ALLOW anything, that 'ANYTHING' ALLOWS you. This is the law of physics; Action & Reaction are equal in value, but opposite in direction. But there is a one catch here; it will only work for those people who ALLOW without any condition of compensation coming to them! You can do good DEEDS by ALLOWING the people their first rights to life.For instance, if an old blind person wants to cross the road, be the first to rush to his help; this will be your good DEED for the day.
If you are standing in a train or a bus, offer seat to a person in need; this will be your another good DEED. In this way, go on collecting good DEEDS for the day. I am sure that at the end of the day, you will feel immensely Rich. So, Money is not necessarily needed to feel Rich, there is another way to Richness too.

{On Loving___ Living & Non-Living Things.}
Friends,
Love is a magic word in the English language. It not only brings happiness, but on a more subtler level, it is a harbiger of comfort and success. The world is in total mess and turmoil. Its a materialistic world of make believe, films, fake sadhus, psyseudo happines and true lies. You bring happines to a person by faking your emotions in such a style that he starts believeing you instantly.This may take time for you to learn; it is by trail and error. You tug at the long rope of {politics} to get there. And all this program is not easy; your fake charm should look real and impresve to your friend, relative, boss or any of your associates. This type of life is not real.
One of the most awesome concept of spirituality is to love anything ___ living or non living unconditionally. Living means human beings, birds, plants, animals; whilst non-living things may mean anything.___ your shoes, your sleeping bed, your cliothes, your items in your house. To-day's times are difficult times for friendships and associations. At the outset, relationships can fly out of the window over the cuckoos head and not to be heard of again. Associations are coming at a premium and friendship is dead and buried, never to surface again. And what is left now? Everything is destroyed, nothing is saved, but you can start the salvage operations. You pick up piece by piece, join together and see what picture you can paint.
On the other hand, there is an excellent {other} way to find contentment, joy, bliss, which are higher virtues than the so called happiness. You are in possession of one of the greatest word in the world called {love}. You can start loving non-living things. Have you thought of loving your pillow on which you put your beautiful head to sleep? Wish it long life to serve you bettter with a great thank you. what about your shoes? Say thank you every time you slip your feet into them. Shoes are fantastic accessories for a man or a woman for grooming and looking like a King or a Queen on wearing them. Those deprived to have them look poor, desolate and lost in life. And the tables and chairs on which you enjoy a hearty breakfast, a quick fix lunch or a lazy dinner with your family and friends? Have a soft corner for this furniture that cannot talk, but perennially inviting you to come and sit and use them to your heart's comfort. You can always talk to them and thank these non-living pieces of art and you will definitely hear a reply in the corner of your heart.
One of the most important non-living things is the {bed} on which you lay down your tired body after a day's struggle at the work place. How do you thank it? At night, bsfore you go to sleep, be aware of it by thinking of it as your dear friend. Keep your bed clean by changing the bed sheets properly from time to time. Can you sleep without a clean bed containing mattress, bed sheet, pillow with a possible roll over long {Dhool} in which you dig your ever tired legs for comfort? No way! Wish good night to this friend before sleep; you wil really feel good. How many times have you flashed your eyes on your time clock, hung in the prominant place in your room? Many times, but you have never thought of the services it has given you, minute by minute, day by day, year by year by ticking endlesly in its body? Have a humble heart to say to it ___ {a big thank you!}
You will never feel lonely, if you start loving non-living things. Moreoever, to-day's relationships is available at a price; non-living things never set a condition and they are 100% free; save, of course you pay a one time small amount to buy these from the market. Actually, you are not buying, you are forging a life long friendship with this lifeless object, but metamorphically a live concept.

{A Commitment called Marriage}
Random Thoughts........"Does Marriage Help You To Grow As A Person?"
Answer:----- The answer is 'yes' and 'no'
Surveying the contemporary marriage scenerio, I can say with authority that by and large, marriage does not help a person to grow as an individual. At least, this is true in an Indian Household. There may be some stray examples here and there of a succesful marriage, where the couple display their talents in a free society, but on the whole, marriages in India have failed to bring happiness and help the individual's growth as a person.
Three important issues are to be in focus here.......MONEY, NATURE & RELATIONSHIP
Money is only artificial happiness, but it seems to work in a marriage. Money is solving about 70% of the problems between the couple. A female donkey is known as a mare; and we have heard the popular quote..."Money Makes The Mare Go Round" Most couples argue, disagree and fight, because of lack of money. House bills being not paid on time, children's school bills being not paid on time,
entertainment not given a top priority are some of the top 'hot' spots where excessive heat gets generated. These get solved instantly by the power of money.
But the couple need no worry. Next in line is NATURE. If you are having a sound head on your shoulders, you have nothing to fear. You can be happy, if you are having a beautiful mind. What is a beautiful mind? Well, a beautiful mind is a mind of abundance, not of money but of thoughts, attitude and a general nature of well being. Such a mind is possible by training yourself to think in a particular way. What's that?
Well, you have to look at the drama in this way. You very well know that you are not a beggar. You might be in any small, medium or large business, or you might be in service earning sufficiently to maintain yourself and your family. Start thinking how much you are 'having' instead of how much you 'do not have'. Make a list with 2 columns. After completing the list, you will mostly observe that a column containing 'have' list is more than the 'have not' list. Suddenly your mind will have refreshing feeling of abundance. If you go on thinking in this way, you will develop an attitude and a nature which seems to fill up the cracks in the troubled marriage. And then, slowly and slowly, you will rub off this nature amongst your family members. Now, you have won half the battle; the other half will be won in due course of time.
Lastly, the Relationship factor is only a by product of Money & Nature. The biggest factor working in a loving relationship is a term callled 'Accepting & Agreeing' This is very difficult as well as very easy. Imagine 2 persons are discussing a simple topic as........."What Looks Good On A Lady: Maxi or Sari.There is needless discusion and nobody wins an argument.
If you consider this type of discussion, it has no ending. But the couple will end upi in a fight of no consequence. The solution lies wherein one of the couple willingly and geniunely with love accepts the viewpoint and says 'Yes' And this is how the relationships develops between the couple. You can do such magic by destroying your ego and accept the other's point of view. If you go on accepting the other's point of view, a time will come when your opposite partner will also start accepting even your 'silly' points. This is the fast track to good relationship. This will also result in each person growing in creativity as an individual. You will be astonished at the amount of 'creative stock' that will be unleashed between the couple. The couple will begin to feel more confident, more loving and a whole lot of understanding will suddenly dawn on the couple. This will bring nothing but more and more happiness in the lives of the couple.
So, it is possible to grow as an individual in a tricky relationship called "MARRIAGe"

They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Steve Jobs

Life and Death
Life and death are two sides of the same coin
Yet we embrace the first and shun the last
But no matter which view of life we join
Death is something that surely will come to pass
So be mindful of this fact in living
And seek to enrich the quality of your life
Think carefully of what you are doing
And always seek to avoid needless strife
If you help others as you go along
The peace of mind from this will be your gain
And as mentioned in the words of the song
Surely your life would not have been in vain
Live your life in such a meaningful way
That gives contentment and satisfaction
So that when your death arrives you can say
My life was truly a mission well done
Yet we embrace the first and shun the last
But no matter which view of life we join
Death is something that surely will come to pass
So be mindful of this fact in living
And seek to enrich the quality of your life
Think carefully of what you are doing
And always seek to avoid needless strife
If you help others as you go along
The peace of mind from this will be your gain
And as mentioned in the words of the song
Surely your life would not have been in vain
Live your life in such a meaningful way
That gives contentment and satisfaction
So that when your death arrives you can say
My life was truly a mission well done
Introvert people..Are you? I am!
Society tends to mislabel introverts as being antisocial or reclusive, but this isn’t true. As introverts, we tend to speak with like-minded people versus anyone or everyone. Sometimes, we choose not to speak at all. That doesn’t mean we are not interested in what is being said… it means that we would much rather listen than talk.
Often, an extrovert will ask an introvert, “You’re so quiet, what’s wrong with you?” There’s nothing wrong with us! It is difficult for the introvert to understand why everyone isn’t like he or she.
One of the most famous introverts was Gandhi. I seriously doubt if anyone asked him, “What’s wrong with you?” Despite his introvertedness, he was socially available for interviews and public appearances.
The extrovert tends to be more interested in his or her environment and in socializing with other people while the introvert is more interested in his or her thoughts and feelings. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the introvert cannot have extroverted tendencies or vice-versa. It simply means that there are general tendencies that seem to be consistent with both the introvert and the extrovert.
If given the choice, the introvert will prefer to work alone or in small groups than with a largegroup of Why Are Spiritual People Generally Introverts? ' The ideal profession for the introvert does not involve being around a lot of people and may include careers in writing, computer programming, webmasters and graphic design. In the end, the introvert could do virtually any job that an extrovert can do but ultimately, introverts need to find their own space at the end of the day.
Many introverts are avid readers and are constantly studying and researching various topics of interest, including spirituality and metaphysics. Reading may come in various forms such as books, e-books or internet articles.
The introvert tends to be guided by his or her higher self in what areas to pursue when researching spiritual and metaphysical topics, almost as if the higher self is guiding the introvert (which it is!).
By internalizing their feelings, the introverts are susceptible to anxiety related issues such as
migraines and Why Are Spiritual People Generally Introverts?Because the introvert tends to look within for answers, he or she will find it easier to meditate and to quiet the mind. The extrovert’s mind tends to remain overactive as he or she will often have difficulty quieting the mind while focusing within.
Another common spiritual activity for the introvert is yoga, which integrates the body and mind while the extrovert is more apt to play team sports. In yoga, one uses their body as a vehicle for consciousness while in most sports, the body is used as a vehicle for aggression. Once again, this does not mean that the introvert will not participate in team sports, nor does it mean that the extrovert will not practice yoga. These are general tendencies that introverts and extroverts exhibit in every day life.
The introvert may have a stronger bond with nature as nature may not provide enough stimulation for the extrovert. You will generally find that people who enjoy hiking are predominantly introverts, as they appreciate the solitude and oneness they receive from being outdoors in whatever particular element of nature that they enjoy
Stargazing is another popular activity for the introvert for the same reason, as extroverts will become quickly bored with staring at the sky and may not understand how the stars are connected to our bodies and everything that is happening on our planet.
While 75% of the population are extroverts, the introvert needs to remain true to his or herself, despite peer pressure to conform to society. Despite not wanting the acknowledgement or recognition, the spiritualists within this genre are the leaders of tomorrow’s world as we enter a new stage of consciousness and spiritual awareness.
