I was wondering how many people on here (not just general anxiety sufferers, as its posted in this forum but all types of anxiety sufferers) consider themselves to be extremely sensitive? I don't just mean in the sense that you are sensitive as in getting upset or hurt easily but sensitive to others and things around you? I tend to "absorb" others moods like a sponge even without trying and I am really affected by tiny things in my enviroment that I can imagine other people don't even notice. I base all my decisions on feelings rather then logic, things have to "feel" right but I couldn't pinpoint why they feel right or wrong they just do. It actually makes life hard as you never know where you stand with emotions and feelings.
I don't know if this is caused by anxiety but I don't think so as I used to be like it as a child before I even got anxious. Example, if I got offered the most amazing job, with really good pay, really close to where I live and perfect in everyway, but I walked in there and it didn't feel "right" I couldn't accept it!! I wouldn't even be able to tell you why either! I don't know if there would be some genuine reason why or its just my mind projecting my thoughts fears and emotions onto something, anyway it drives me mad sometimes.
Hope I've explained okay, does anyone else get the same kind of thing?
