Do you think Heath Ledger was an introvert?

[TheDebbieDee]

Nobody seems to know much about him - even though he was a star he seemed to keep to himself and keep a low profile.

Oh well. The whole thing is so surprising......

1. Possible

but we'll never know for sure.

In The Highly Sensitive Person Elaine Aron speculates that extreme sensitivity is a back cause for situations like this.

Sensitive child becomes artist.

Works happily if obscurely for years.

Creates a work that resonates, makes him or her famous, wealthy (seemingly overnight)

Dies of OD in a hotel (or apt in this case) somewhere and nobody knows why.

IOW, they don't give themselves a chance to learn how to deal with their sensitivity and their appeal to the rest of us.

Sad.
