Stuttering's link to being a hypersensitive person - are you a hypersensitive person? From this article "**Stuttering and the highly sensitive child (HSC)**" *Is hypersensitivity a factor in the onset of stuttering? More than 80% of people who stutter are HSPs (*[***Highly Sensitive Persons***](http://stuttersense.blogspot.co.za/2012/08/are-you-highly-sensitive-person-hsp.html)*), yet this fact is seldom discussed in stuttering groups - probably because it's not politically correct to talk about psychological issues in stuttering.* [*http://stuttersense.blogspot.com/2017/03/stuttering-and-highly-sensitive-child.html*](http://stuttersense.blogspot.com/2017/03/stuttering-and-highly-sensitive-child.html) I think I might be a little sensitive as well, and get offended easily, but I wonder if that's by nature or if **its a learned response due to all the times I've been disrespected due to my stutter.** [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/wo80ur)
