What You Need to Remember

Our list of Highly Sensitive People to follow on Instagram is in no way finite. These 14 people comprise the people we already follow and learn from. But this does not mean they are the only ones or that they will all resonate with you.

So as a Highly Sensitive Person, do your own research on the people you follow on Instagram. You want to have a list of people that encourage, uplift, and inspire you to be your best self. And these 14 do that.

They share inspirational and encouraging content for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) in a calm and welcoming way. Because they are sensitive themselves and understand that HSPs benefit more from compassionate love than tough love.

And you can tell this with each post.

So take your time going through this list of people to follow on Instagram and pick those you resonate with the most. And if there’s a person you already follow that we didn’t include, please leave a comment so others can find them.

P.S: We take note of the lack of men in this list of people to follow on Instagram. Their exclusion is not intentional. On our next update, please expect a list of Highly Sensitive Men to follow on Instagram.

With love and kindness,

HSP Tools.
