7 Types of Freelance Writing Careers That are Perfect for Highly Sensitive People
Because they give HSPs satisfaction and the freedom to work in a way that’s best suited for them
Most highly sensitive people do not enjoy typical 9-to-5 jobs. Commuting in traffic, frequent and unrealistic deadlines, difficult managers, and a competitive, as well as toxic corporate culture, make such work unappealing to HSPs.
HSPs like to work at their own pace. They prefer to do work that is satisfying. They prefer to collaborate rather than compete, and would rather not have to report to a manager. HSPs have a lot to offer to the world, but it’s different from what others have to offer. Everyone is different and each person has to make choices that are healthy for them.
Because of these personality traits and values, writing (especially freelance writing) can make an excellent career choice for highly sensitive people.
Writers can work at their own pace and from wherever they want, and even though there’s a need to get the work approved by an editor, it is different from working for and reporting to a manager on a daily basis. Writing also involves attention to detail and gives us ample opportunities to write about topics that matter to us and the world.
