    DescriptionHighly sensitive people are thought to have more sensitive nervous systems than non-sensitive people and comprise approximately 25% of the global population. They possess moderate to high levels of a personality trait called sensory processing sensitivity, which refers to a heightened sensitivity of the nervous system, characterised by a deeper awareness and processing of physical, social and emotional factors in the environment.
