Here’s Suzie, the main character of The Invitation short story. She is an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)

An HSP is someone with a temperament characterized by increased sensitivity to internal and external stimuli.

They process information more deeply than the average person, respond strongly to emotional cues, and become overstimulated more easily.

characteristics:

* Sensitivity to stimuli

Bright lights, loud sounds, crowded spaces, or chaotic environments overwhelm them quicker.

* Overstimulation

Because their brain processes so much information, they tire faster and need quiet, recovery time.

* High empathy

They naturally absorb and understand other people’s feelings.

* Awareness of subtleties

They notice micro-expressions, body language, and small details others overlook.

* Depth of processing

They think deeply, reflect more, and analyze experiences intensely.
