High sensitivity in men is seldom addressed. According to Dr. Elaine Aron’s research, approximately 15%-20% of the global population is comprised of highly sensitive people. This percentage exists as a fundamental neurological trait across all demographics. This means nearly one fifth of men are highly sensitive... and many don't know it. In societies that promote a cold, macho stereotype, countless sensitive boys are growing up and entering adulthood abused and misunderstood. Now, with 25 years of research behind the subject, we have the tools to help these young men develop into healthy, empowered individuals. These are our future fathers, workers, and leaders. By withholding said information and practices, we are fostering another generation of traumatized young men who fail to meet their potential. As one of these former young men, I’ve grappled with the difficulties inherent to sensitivity. From being bullied, to unhealthy coping, to feeling afraid and alone, and now dealing with the difficulties of work and dating, I have been through it all. Two years ago, I came across the term Highly Sensitive Person, and it opened my world. Now, I have spent the last two years studying the subject and speaking to individuals who work in the field to equip myself for a healthier, happier life. Life makes more sense when you have the words to describe your experience. That’s what this community is here to do, to armor us for an insensitive world and empower us to live out a common vision of living happy, healthy, and whole. No more hiding your feelings. No more hiding your true self. Together we will stand strong and love one another with the sensitivity we've given but seldom received.

This is a space for highly sensitive men to be informed, empowered, and equipped for positive action in their lives. Our societies pressure us into shallow models of machoism that go against our fundamental neurology. By understanding the aspects of your neurology, you can take control of situations that once felt painful and overwhelming. Join the OSS community and stand beside like-minded men on our journey to wholeness and greatness!
