Has someone ever commented on you such as: ‘Why are you so sensitive?’, ‘What do you think is so complicated?’ or “Just fragile!” Have you ever spent hours contemplating a work of art or constantly tormenting yourself over a petty mistake?

If the above sayings, thoughts and actions have not only happened but also come back quite often, welcome to the “Society of Sensitive Souls”.

What is sensitivity? Are sensitive people different individuals?

For most of society, sensitive is a negative personality word. People often think of sensitive people as being very emotional, weak, excitable and over-reacting to everything around them, when that can be a completely normal thing.

The above statement is not completely wrong, but it is not necessarily true, if simply understood in this way, it is easy to come to subjective, misleading and imposed judgments on sensitive people.

 

Just like happy, sad or angry, sensitivity is an emotional part of every human’s soul and only appears in certain cases. However, in some individuals, this emotional part is more dominant and is expressed in different ways. The easily recognizable characteristics of a common sensitive person are:

– Clear perception of small differences

– Highly personal, needs a lot of private time

– Easily influenced by other people’s moods and judgments

– Thinking too much leads to often being overloaded

– Have a low tolerance threshold (physically and mentally)

If you’re a person with most of the above traits, stop for a second and don’t be disappointed in yourself. According to statistics, the number of people with sensitive personality accounts for nearly 20% of the population. You are not alone, but thinking positively, there is a whole community, just they are still affected by negative comments. from society and are somewhat afraid to share.

High creativity and own identity

Because they always spend time “turning in” inside the soul, looking at the problem with depth, beyond ordinary thinking, the ability of sensitive people to create new things is also proportional to the level of thinking. their. Some professions that require high and continuous idea generation but still retain their individual identities such as authors, composers, actors, etc. are fertile ground for this group.

Easily empathize helps strengthen relationships

Although the reaction is somewhat stronger than usual, from another angle, sensitive people have the ability to listen and give advice very well. Because, they can understand the emotions of the other person being faced, so the advice is not cliché but comes from sincere sympathy. That is why, once truly connected, the relationship between the two sides becomes very strong and long-lasting.
