Highly Sensitive Person and Empaths
The scientific name is sensory processing sensitivity. This is an innate trait not a disorder. Approximately 20% of the population are born with this trait. So far scientists have discovered this trait in over 100 different species. Sensory processing sensitivity is on a spectrum, so the higher on the spectrum, the more likely you are also an empath.
