HSPs should NEVER marry Type 7s! And vice-versa of course. That is why I am currently seeking the most Teflon-coated Terminator-like man possible for my next relationship.-LOL.

Come on Mojo, I never thought you'd be one for throwing ABSOLUTES out there!

Seriously HSPs, I think, are a varied group. While I believe I am HSP in many ways, I am not held captive by these feelings either. Lots of noise is not relaxing for me but I can handle it well enough to work in a manufacturing plant environment, travel through airports 2x per weeks, etc.

I am also not emotionally HSP being that I am teflon coated. I LOVE debates, conflicts, arguments, etc. Sarcasm is one of my favorite ways to communicate. That is also why I am not HSP in the way Lillie is. I don't need a partner to validate my actions. They are what they are (my actions and decisions) and I trust my judgment of them. What I need is acknowledge that whether my partner agrees or not with my decision or actions that they still LOVE me. Different things IMO.

Ironic on not, the Level one description of a 7 fits my outlook on life perfectly.

Assimilate experiences in depth, making them deeply grateful and appreciative for what they have. Become awed by the simple wonders of life: joyous and ecstatic. Intimations of spiritual reality, of the boundless goodness of life.

During my second separation while I was unemployed sleeping on my friends' couch, I had such a gratefulness about life in general. it was spring and the sights and sounds of spring give me such joy and happiness. I love walking/hiking through a woods in the spring just being in nature with the sounds, smells and colors. How can one NOT feel that life is good?
