9 Facebook Groups for Highly Sensitive People

Love it? Share it!

We may dislike Facebook, but there are two features we love very much: Pages and Groups.

Facebook pages are great because you get to choose which topics to follow and which ones not to. Facebook Groups are great because they consist of a community of like-minded individuals.

And that’s why today, we’d like to share 9 Facebook groups for highly sensitive people.

Because if you’re anything like us, you love to scroll through a group’s feed and read about what other people are learning about their daily struggles.

You also like to follow along silently, like a conversation or two, and then learn a thing or two about navigating life as a highly sensitive person.

And maybe even, unlike us, you actually enjoy interacting with people around the topics you care about.

And it’s a community created by Karin Monster-Peters – an energy management and life purpose coach.

According to the About page of the group, this is NOT for you if:

• You’re looking for a place to complain, judge, take advantage of others, tear people down, or instigate ugly communication
• You thrive on drama, excuses, blaming, criticizing, living in victim mode, or in any way avoiding responsibility for your own self, actions, voice or circumstances.

• Ask questions that directly relate to being an HSP, living on purpose, and being a parent.
• Feel free to disagree with someone, but please do it respectfully.
