Role Models for HSPs

Who do you perceive to be a good model for HSPs? Perhaps they are an HSP? Perhaps they just show us a good way to live or to be. When I saw this recent interview with Barbra Streisand I saw lots of hints of the HSP trait and I looked at her in a new way. Sure she has been out there as a successful public figure for many years but listening to this interview I picked up the following list of traits which sound very familiar as HSP traits and it heartens me to know that she has been able to live with all her gifts and challenges and make such a difference in the world by bringing those gifts forward. Read the list of attributes below which I noticed in the interview. See if they resonate with you. What person holds the model and hope for you as an HSP? Let's share ideas and inspire each other in this season of sharing of gifts! Attributes from Barbra Streisand interview (link below) she is different from her peers she needs and appreciates time off from work she needs her privacy she'd rather stay home and read a book or watch a movie she finds being in public hard she is a perfectionist she notices and thrives on subtlety she is prone to anxiety (stage fright) her gifts are instinctive ("it just happens") she takes her gifts for granted she doesn't want to be false she has a deep sense of integrity she is unique and she knows it she is multi-talented (actor, singer, writer, director, activist) she is easily bored she longs for expanding her horizons she enjoys quiet companionship she is independent and introspective she sees perfectionism as a good thing she strives for excellence and doing better she draws fire for her views she has let go of job opportunities in favor of all-important time off from her job she was 'not seen' as a child she never feels fully finished Recognize any of those traits? We talk about them often in our group don't we? Hope you are inspired by this and can't wait to hear what you come up with. Here are the links for the interviews in which I saw the attributes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2RWyOwMhL4&feature=PlayList&p=C0FFBDDD87D76603&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=32 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4wdQ695SIQ&feature=PlayList&p=C0FFBDDD87D76603&index=33&playnext=2&playnext_from=PL
