I found the most pathetic sub: /r/HSP, a subreddit for "highly sensitive people"

Holy crap what a gold-mine. A group of people with so little resilience they formed it into an identity and congregate in the same place. This is REAL.

From the sidebar:

>The concept of HSP was developed by Dr. Elaine Aaron based on her studies described in her book 'The Highly Sensitive Person'. You can learn more at https://hsperson.com, but the Cliff Notes version of her theory is that for packs of mammals to survive, they developed a macro-evolution where 15% of the pack members have a highly sensitive nervous system and the other 85% not so sensitive. The is the proposed 'ideal' ratio for pack survival, such that if you have too few sensitives, then the pack will figurative plow forward off a cliff like (stereotypical) lemmings, while having too many sensitives means the pack may accomplish very little.

Sounds like bullshit.

Some highlights:

>Title: Why am I treated so negatively all the time ? OP: /u/buttercupp888

>Today I went to a store with my sister and both my sister and I wanted to pay separately, so I let my sister line up first . The lady at the cash register was super sweet to her asked about her day, made her feel welcomed and called her a "sweetheart" . When it was my turn I thought I'd get the same interaction and I smiled and said hello ☺️ just being extremely polite and the lady with a horrible attitude said " want a bag ? Here " and I kindly said "yes of course may I get 2" . Not even joking she rolls her eyes and gives me my change . Felt like such a slap in the face .... ?¿

Imagine a wagie having this much power of you.

>Title: I'm a HSP and I get harassed daily⚠️Trigger Warning OP: deleted

A self-confessed lolcow vagueposts.

>I have no defenses. Everyone sees me as a "lolcow" and an easy target for bullying and harassment. I have to deal with this all day every day, I'm barely functioning anymore. I can't do this. I can't do this for months to come. This is all I'm known for

In the comments, OP doesn't find the standard /r/HSP hugbox and argues with commenters, downmarseyd massively.

>If you argue with people, they will argue with you. Is that what you want?

>OP: People provoke me and try to start arguments even when I try to be normal…

>What does normal mean to you?

>OP: Like being nice to people. I commented on /r/gaming that i was looking forward to a game and someone commenting "not trying to start arguments huh?"

...revealing that inciting incident for his post was a mean comment on /r/gaming.

In the above link, OP's (/u/Immediate-Panda-4555) wondering is highly sensitive people can attend orgies safely. Imagine making a HSP cry at the orgy because he perceives you preferring to eat someone else's butt over his.

https://old.reddit.com/r/hsp/comments/1fplqzr/do_you_ever_feel_like_you_arent_cut_out_to_work/

OP (/u/curiositycat96) states that being a HSP is a reason for his NEET-hood

>Sometimes I just feel so sensitive, overwhelmed and stressed so easily from work. Really any job I've had but some have been worse than others. I'm only 28 and I feel so exhausted and burned out from having to continue being strong, sucking it up, and doing things that suck the life out of me. Is it being HSP, just not made for "traditional" or mental illness?

https://old.reddit.com/r/hsp/comments/1g9khcb/i_honestly_dont_think_we_are_sensitive_but_rather/

Here we a redditor bingo. Self-identified "highly gifted child". OP (/u/Kodicave) theorises that they're not actually highly-sensitive, but instead just better at noticing patterns than others.

>I think people don't realize their "attitudes" are completely visible. We can feel when someone is being condescending. We can see the tone in someone's text when they are secretly making fun of you. the looks your fremenies gives to each other when you arrive

Some of these posts border on /r/gangstalking levels of conspiracy and delusion, in terms of their shared belief that everyone in the world is seeking to harm their delicate sensibilities.

https://old.reddit.com/r/hsp/comments/113ql8a/driving_test_trauma/

Absolutely useless loser of an OP (/u/daisyfloweruwu) is traumatised because they failed their driving test six times (lol)

>Whenever I came back home after a driving test, I couldn't stop crying. Literally, I was crying for long hours and I didn't get out of bed for the rest of the day. Also, my mood was broken for the next few days. I felt so down and humiliated

My parents want me to try again, but I will rather be dead than try again. All I see is the examination center just showing you that you're a piece of shit, not a human.

More driving test drama: https://old.reddit.com/r/hsp/comments/1d9lew3/driving_examiner_yelled_at_me_and_i_cried/

>I truly think driving instructors are some of the most miserable people. My driving instructor was super chill but he just seemed so nonchalant and blah. I was 16yo nearly leaping up and down when he told me I passed and yet he just stared at me so awkwardly that it stole my joy and I got kinda sunken and serious.

Oh my fricking god these people are so incredibly useless - if the evil driving instructor is not actively harassing and attacking them, then the issue is that they don't immediately scream with joy when they pass. This poster is an adult but they're still seething years later simply because a driving examiner wasn't excited enough for them when they passed.

Anyway, if you search the sub by key word you can find these highly sensitive specimens seething about a social slight in almost any situation.

I can't believe I've discovered a group of people so ripe for gay ops and bullying.
