Why Anne Of Green Gables Is Beloved By Highly Sensitive

HSP or a highly sensitive person has become a more well-known term globally in the past years. A couple of years ago, when I came to the realization that I, myself, was a highly sensitive person, I started to pay notice to other highly sensitive characters in literature, movies, pop culture, and of course, real life. Perhaps the most well-known highly sensitive person in the world´s literature is Lucy Maud Montgomery´s Anne of Green Gables.

“Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it... Yet.”

For those who do not know Anne of Green Gables, Anne Of Green Gables is a book written by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, and the first book was published in 1908. The books take place on the eastern coast of Canada in Prince Edward´s Island where the author lived most of her life. Anne had adventures in nine books and she is the most popular character of Montgomery´s large amount of written works.

Reviews

Thank you for this beautiful wisdom and guidance. As a child I read Anne of Freen Gables and admired her courage to speak up. I was a HSP too and disparaged as “over sensitive” by my mother and others. My parents were similar to Mathew and Marilla and eventually my mother came to understand me. I was bullied at school and retreated to my own world. Thank you for sharing your own story. I appreciate your courage and honesty as I have been reflecting on how to release much anxiety and insecurity with the changes to Autumn. I’m just starting to listen to Anne of Avonlea and knowing your own feelings brings the story to life. Sending blessings to you.
