My mother's moods--I live with her, and if she's having a bad day or upset or angry, it overwhelms anything I'm feeling, unfortunately.
Other than that:
--the words people use--my love language is "words of affirmation", so praise is good and criticism is bad for me, plus I was an English major, so diction is something I'm keenly aware of, and may inadvertently overanalyze.
--smells, whether good-like the smell of horses or soap on a man's warm skin, or bad-like the smell of too much perfume or not enough deodorant!
--hot weather, which I find incredibly draining and awful.

I'm hugely sensitive to lying. I'm one of those people who just needs the truth at all times. I can tell when people hide things and it drives me insane. I always craved truth...

I am most sensitive to other people's insensitivity. Raised voices, stepping on people's toes, failing to give credit where it is due and generally treating others badly puts me out of sorts.

I am sensitive to hormones, at a certain time of the month... which in turn makes me sensitive to EVERYTHING!! Good, bad, or ugly - :-O

I am sensitive to traffic noises, light in my eyes, not enough light in my house, too many motorized garden tools. I.E. Raking the leaves is great exercise! And clutter.

I am a sensitive mama....I just know when each of my boys needs my special attention.

Noise, visual dissonance, pollution... Graffiti, prejudice, bullying, and just about anything crude, tacky or ugly.

A Virgo! We'd get along for sure. My sun sign's Capricorn, and we're known for our stubbornness and perfectionism. Wonderful.

You know, whenever I see a stupid typo or error like that, the people around me can actually sense my aggravation. My old High School English teacher actually turned around and said "What is it!?" when I couldn't rip my eyes from one of his errors.

racism, cruelty to animals, loud noises, cigarette smoke.
vulnerability, kindness.

Judgementalism masquerading as self-righteousness, noise. On the other hand -- kindness, respect and silence.

Kindness, humor or lack of , sounds and scents I love, animals, especially cats and birds, the voices that matter most, the sky and trees; music and art.

Chaos in all its manifest forms, cold, animal cruelty, touch, compassion, generosity, beauty.

Everything.... It can be rough, but mostly it is a blessing. Energy-- people's and places'. Bodies/nature/animals (In both heart warming and heart rending ways.) Words, rhythms, collective unconscious, dreams, aesthetics.

I'm a highly sensitive person overall, but things that stand out especially: smells, lights, 'back-handed' compliments, ulterior motives, voices (they reveal so much about people), clutter. And on the good side: touch, genuine smiles, respect, when someone's being genuine, flirtation, rhythm (and music in general.)

Noise, crowds, mood changes, thunderstorms (I can't sleep if one is coming), narrow minds.

On the bad side: poor grammar, puncuation & spelling; perceived or real slights; small-mindeness; bad manners; confinement (physical & emotional); criticism; biggotry of any kind; cold & pain (I'm a wimp!)

On the good side: others (I'm empathetic and work to spread joy, comfort, the feeling of being welcome and appreciated); beauty in all it's forms (art, music, food, people, moments, beautiful places)

Completely agree about the horror movie trailers. I used to be fairly oblivious to this stuff, but increasingly I find myself wondering what kind of people this stuff could possibly appeal to. And in turn what kind of people are making this stuff -- constantly escalating the gore and violence.

Chemical fragrances and products, diesel fuel, angry epople's energy, clutter and chaos, and disturbing imagry on Tv and especially horror movie previews that are continually shown! I don't think anyone can possibly benefit from the sick story lines that are being marketed to teens now.

On the positive side I am very sensitive to nurturing, warm people, watching kids draw, aromatherapy, holistic healing, and loving words and gestures from my family and friends.

Never-ending stimuli, cruelty, yelling, intolerance. Perfect moments of connection and communication.

Wool, clothing labels, noise, fluorescent light, healthy vs. unhealthy authority, the energy of others

Oh, Weezie, you gorgeous creature! Love your grammar and punctuation sensitivity. Misspellings drive me bats. I can catch a typo on a billboard at 70 mph. And the plague of apostrophes that is upon our land! Possessive, not plural! (Sun in Virgo, can't hep it.)
