Hypervigilance is more of a trait of anxious attachment style. You have not seen hypervigilence until you’ve seen an anxiously attached HSP. But securely attached HSP are some of the most successful people in the world.
There’s a lot of power in seeing patterns other people miss. Particularly when dealing with a person who is trying to hide that they are upset
It's real, but the umbrella term is very much hokie. You can sometimes see it in ADHD or autism: hyperawareness of stimulus and a nervous system that pattern matches quickly.
I have something similar. Very easy to burnout, when you're constantly being flooded by information of which you see the long-term consequences of, know how to orient and navigate to avoid, but do not have the resources to handle (e.g. time, money, energy, etc.).
Or being hyperaware of everyone's micro-expressions and what they're feeling. Too much info, and I don't have any care to spare to deal with it (even though that I want to).
