1. You have a rich and complex inner life
If you spent hours probing into what happened, what you felt and what people might have thought of you, then your sensibility is beyond normal standards. Even though it’s a more complicated life, your inner self is where you feel at home.

3. You perform better by yourself
No matter the task, you probably find it easier if you are left alone to achieve it. Having somebody watching over your shoulder is a nightmare, since the pressure is likely to transform you into a little child who is supposed to perform in front of a teacher.

If, on the other hand, you are not a highly sensitive person, but know somebody who is, keep in mind that they are extremely empathetic, intuitive and reliable persons. They see the best in people and will go out of their way to help you.
