sounds more like a "HSP", to me. "HSP"="highly sensitive person". I don't know if this is a generally recognized "syndrome" or anything, but some learn-ed expert wrote a book on it a few years ago. DW read the book...she definately fits the criteria. I haven't read it myself, but I guess its about this "personality type", and how to deal with it, etc, etc...might be an interesting read.
