I've known Arno for years, and recently I've found myself wondering whether he might actually be a highly sensitive person (HSP).

In this conversation, we go through Elaine Aron's original Highly Sensitive Person self-test question by question, exploring everything from emotional intensity, music, and friendship to perfectionism, overwhelm, childhood experiences, and what it means to be a sensitive man.

Along the way, we discover that sensitivity doesn't always look the way people expect.

Whether you're a highly sensitive person yourself, think you might be, or are simply curious about the trait, I hope you'll find something here that resonates.

What part of Arno's experience resonated most with you? Let me know in the comments.
