More Psych2Go here More Donna Article Contact us: Website Twitter Facebook Tumblr Being over sensitive is really no fun at all. I know this because I am an extremely sensitive person. People who are emotionally sensitive are often referred to as highly sensitive people or HSPs. While sensitivity is linked to creativity and empathy (Ward, 2011), being overly sensitive can sometimes be burdening, especially in a school or work environment. When you’re oversensitive, you tend to see everything through a different lens. You may take criticisms as personal attacks. I know this feeling all too well and sometimes feel like bursting into tears when someone is even a little harsh with me. While I’m certainly not suggesting that this is some kind of illness or that it needs a “cure,” I know how hard to deal with emotional sensitivity. Many people even find it to be a gift, and in certain situations it can be, especially when empathy is required. However, it can also be overwhelming. I’m not necessarily with those people who think you can build a thicker skin or change yourself so easily, but these are a few simple steps that may be prove helpful.\n
