Perception of "internal speed"

Deleted User

I've normally felt "slow" not just mentally but in a broader sense. Here are some examples:

  • Doing less tasks / day than most people
  • Strongly attach to my interests and span for a long hours, 
  • Learn slower than others, sometimes due to obsession at details other times due to my own inability to do it fast,
  • Walk slower, and feel quite inadequate in large cities, or busy streets.

In a way, brightness and loud noises feel a bit like "fast" to me as well, maybe it is somehow connecting noises to large cities and to "fast". I'd say even shyness and anxiety relate to this idea of speed: anxiety is sometimes my resistance to move faster; shyness too.

I wonder how it is for you.

  • Hi 

    Lots of this sounds familiar to me. I have also looked into HSP. I am diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, maybe HSP as well. I haven't really thought about it for a while.

    I learn differently, (I used to say slow learner) and I do still feel very inadequate, even on here sometimes. I agree communication is hard too, I struggle to understand what is being communicated to me and then I struggle to express what's inside. I know what I want to say but I can't put it into words. I would say these things link more strongly to autism rather than HSP, in my humble opinion.
