Were you born with the Invisible Trait?

Living with this trait can sometimes feel like being on a roller coaster ride! Sometimes it’s great and other times you really want to get off!

Because no two individuals with the Invisible Trait are the same, it is difficult to test for it in a traditional way and it is not a medical diagnosis. Below are some commonalities. However, individuals with this trait MAY NOT RELATE WITH ALL of these. Teens especially typically feel invincible and may not recognize they actually feel this way unless it comes up in conversation. Also, when considering the answers to these questions, think back to your childhood and how you felt then in addition to how you feel now.

Have you experienced or felt some of these?

  • Have you ever felt like you have a sixth sense?
  • Like you can read a room or understand what others may be thinking or feeling even if no words have been spoken?
  • Do you intuitively have a sense of an individual’s personality?
  • Do you ever feel like you are just a little bit different from others?
  • Do you often feel overwhelmed, stressed or worn out without fully understanding why?
  • Do you get frustrated with yourself for not being able to handle more?
  • Can bright lights, chaotic environments or noisy crowded places bother you?
  • Do certain textures, fabrics or tight clothing irritate you or cause you to feel uncomfortable?
  • Do you find great peace when you are in nature or when you view beautiful art?
  • Do you find it tough to deal with judgment, criticism, rejection and/or contention?
  • Do you deeply or intensely at times feel emotions such as sadness, fear, anger, joy, or love?
  • Do you sometimes bottle up or react to strong emotions?
  • Do you have a desire to please or care for others sometimes to the detriment of your own needs?
  • Do you struggle to see your value, feel inadequate, second guess things you have said or done, or have negative expectations of yourself? In other words, do you tend to be hardest on yourself?
  • Do you tend to be a rule follower?
  • Do you hate getting in trouble and avoid it?
  • Do songs, movies, tv shows, commercials, or news deeply affect your emotions positively and/or negatively?
  • Is kindness to others and from others important to you?
  • Do you get a bit “hangry” when you go without food for awhile?
  • Is it difficult for you to handle change? Do you need extra time to adapt?
  • Do you need quiet and calm time to yourself to recover after being in crowded, loud or busy types of environments?

IF YOU RESONATE WITH SOME of these, it may be time to take a deeper look into the Invisible Trait.
