Are You A Sensitive Person?

[Dreek Lass]

I am very sensitive as a person. I take things to heart even when I know that they were not intended personally. But I am someone who thinks too much for my own good, because I like to work things out and analyse them lol. It is helpful to have this trait at times, but you have to be able to turn it off when it is not useful to you.

Are you a sensitive person?

 

[Kyama3]

I have always been really sensitive, especially whilst growing up. A lot of people used this sensitivity to really get to me. They realised I was usually quiet and also sensitive, so I think it can be really hard for people that are sensitive to be placed in environments they are not comfortable in i.e school. Sensitivity I think is a sign of emotional intelligence however, and so people that are sensitive may be empathic too. They find it easy to relate to other peoples emotions. One downside I have found sometimes though, is that sensitive people can be too open about their own personal stuff, and this can put a lot of people off initially. I think over the years I have not necessarily became desensitised, but I have learnt to have better control over it. There are many cold people out there, so I like to see sensitvity in people but definetely there are positives and negatives to it.

 

[FoxInSox]

Yes I am.

 

[darkcgi]

I don't think so but everyone tells me I am very sensitive

Yay, someone else besides me who knows about empaths. Yes, I am an empath. I have been told that by psychics and mediums, and my emotional intelligence is through the roof, hence me sometimes knowing things that I do not want to. So that makes me very critical of myself, because I know what has effected me and I don't want to come across the same way as others. I do this, knowing that not everyone is as perceptive as me. But it is till hard to shake the habit.

 

[Josie]

Yup.. always have been, which was sort of an inconvenience to my insensitive family lol. Which sort of made me more sensitive

I use to be very sensitive to things all the time. Though, now I realize that I know who I am as a person. What people say doesn't matter to me anymore. I guess everyone grows up differently and with me I was brought to not be sensitive to the small things.

 

[Cara18]

I am the same as you. But when I take things to heart I usually just question myself. I ask myself was that just meant as a joke? Then I tell myself, even if it wasn't there is no need to get upset about it. I just basically talk myself out of it and let it go.

I'm another deeply empathic person, but I've also developed something of a hard outer shell because of a rather rough childhood and adolescence. People tend to assume initially that I am aloof and difficult to approach, and it isn't until they really get to know me that they find I'm a pretty friendly individual. I guess I just tend to keep acquaintances at arm's length until I feel I can truly trust them.

I can thoroughly relate to that hard outer shell that you speak of. I am quite perceptive and I know how people take me, and how I come across a lot of the time, and I have realized that I come across as quite arrogant and or cold, and that is what people take away with them sometimes, when the complete opposite is true, but the cold arrogance is just an outer shell that I have developed.

I used to be sensitive when I was younger, but afterwards I grew de-sensitized to what many said as I got older

 

[ReadmeByAmy]

Yes sometimes I am sensitive to some things that makes me feel I will be emotionally be affected.

 

[isabbbela]

very. I take it to heart whenever someone offends me or says something unintentional that still hurts me. I'm sure I'm more sensitive than most people, but I believe that is mainly because I was bullied a lot in school from when I was 5 until I was around 15. It was a long period and I think that shaped me severely into who I am today and my sensitive nature.
Because of that, I'm also very sensitive towards other people's feelings.

 

[NuckingFuts]

I am. I get my feelings hurt easy.

 

[griz bear]

sometimes. Most of the time my self defense system can control the situation, but every now and then I get caught off guard, and I get my feelings hurt.

 

[Trellum]

I'm a really sensitive person, but I try not to take things or people too seriously anymore. I've been really sick the last 3 years, and that has taught me to relax and see there are far more important things in this life. I try to be as positive as possible, because I believe that helps me with my disease. Sometimes I'm too sensitive and I screw up really bad with my boyfriend by saying things I shouldn't say (I'm very hormonal lately). But in general yes, I'm very sensitive and intuitive... so I can actually sense when someone doesn't like me, specially when talking face to face.

Are you a sensitive person?

Yes but l do not try to show it.

 

[Aries]

Yeah, sometimes too much so. I wish I didn't care about things so much sometimes. Life would probably be easier.
