I truly enjoyed your expose´ on HSP's and the 4w5 dilemma. I too: "Find myself to be very reactive to others perceptions of me"

I tend to see this as a stress response 4--->(2).

"My 5 wing then kicks in and I realize it is folly to get upset..."
I wish I could say the same. My 5w (usually) kicks in and I pull back., but upon occassion I can feel myself 'heating-up' from the chest into my head. Anger response (1 or 8).

"Since early childhood, I have enjoyed my own company; taking long walks and finding inspiration from the most mundane sights around me"

Likewise, but it's always difficult to leave the house. I have to force myself to take a walk, then once out & walking I am happily in 5.

"intrusive people {on these walks or elsewhere} greatly annoy me"
Sometimes.

"...nor do I appreciate anyone's misreading of me"
Definitely.

"God bless that 5 wing of mine!"
Indeed!

"Still I have a great need for space..."
And I too much prefer the loner life even though it is not beneficial to my social growth and quite limiting.

"But I also maintain a starry eyed and naive view of life"
Perhaps starry-eyed to a degree, but not naive.

"Still hope to find that chord of harmony"
Yes! I think it's an Emaj9 chord! (try this one on the piano)

"I look to the spiritual as my hope for the future".
Been there, done that, somewhat difficult to sustain unless living in solitude. A wonderful space. Quite lovely.

"I accept the "fact" that life isn't fair"
It has taken me years, but I have accepted.

"There is a spiritual balance beyond our eyes"
I too believe.

"Fate: Don't know if this is my 5 or my 9"
Neither do I, but if I had to bet I'd say 9. The physical ground that is fortressing my creative 4.

---------------

I see myself continually fluctuating- mostly a 4.5.9.4.5.9. revolution with all the other numbers kicking in from time to time. However, the 'grounding' factor is the emotional-4, intellectual-5, and physical-9 loop. 9 seems to serve as a pressure valve for the self-absorbed, selfish, guilt ridden 4. 5 acts as the 'Objective' outsider who balances by logic.

Best,

William
