Even a moderate and familiar stimulation like a day at work can cause a highly sensitive person to need quiet by evening.

"We try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming overaroused and distressed. We are a package deal, however. Our trait of sensitivity means we will also be cautious, inward, needing extra time alone. Because people without the trait (the majority) do not understand that, they see us as timid, shy, weak, or that greatest sin of all, unsociable. Fearing these labels, we try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming overaroused and distressed. Then that gets us labeled neurotic or crazy, first by others and then by ourselves."
