Highly sensitive people need more time to adjust to new social, work, and home environments. During these periods, you may feel emotionally or physically uncomfortable in seemingly safe spaces as your nervous system acclimates to everything around you. It helps to make sensory adjustments, find familiarity in the unknown, and validate your worries.    

Sensitive folks are constantly seeking a way to make work more manageable and meaningful without all the overwhelm and burnout that is common for HSPs.  Work tends to be something to survive, instead of enjoy.  Choosing a career is subjective, so it really depends on who you work with, the values of the company, the environment, how meaningful and interesting the work is to you, and your ability to maintain a work-life balance.
