This is a difficult question to research, since there probably aren’t many examples of HSPs and Introverts in political office. Think about it.

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important.

Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. (more…)
As a highly sensitive person, I get overwhelmed when I encounter a problem/problems. This poem by Bruce B. Wilmer puts problem solving in its proper perspective.

That bothers you inside
And time does little to assure you
That it will subside,Then draw upon your inner strength
And formulate a plan;
And every time you think you can’t,
Remember that you can. (more…)
