hsp podcast extrovert manThe Highly Sensitive Podcast is for people with Sensory Processing Sensitivity-or those who want to better understand HSPs. In this show, I share personal stories, tips, rants, and occasionally interviews with interesting HSPs.

Today’s episode is a special treat! I’ve got an interview with an extroverted, highly sensitive, man. He’s also a comedian and software engineer. It’s Johnny Martinez of the Introvert Extrovert Podcast.

In this episode, Johnny talks about:

  • How being highly sensitive can help you crush job interviews
  • Having a parent who is very not highly sensitive
  • The benefits of being an extroverted HSP as a software engineer
  • How comedy can be a defense mechanism
  • Having a panic attack on stage!
  • Ways to practice self-care as an HSP (mind, body, environment).

This episode is almost an hour long, but it’s worth it for Johnny’s insight and interesting stories.

Hey Google, extrovert can also be spelled extravert.

hsp extrovertOne glaring topic I have neglected to cover on this blog is the 30% of HSPs who are extroverts.

The main reason for this omission is because I am not an extrovert. (btw, it can also be spelled extravert). I didn’t feel right writing about a topic with which I wasn’t that familiar.

So, I surveyed several self-identified extroverted HSPs to better understand their trait. Here is what I found.

It seems that extroverted HSPs walk a tightrope between desiring/requiring social interactions and becoming overwhelmed.
