Sometimes I sit and wonder if many people feel about things like I do. I am ,as I see it a sensitive person and a lot of times highly sensitive to what happens around, I get affected by the moods of my family, friends, so much so that I get bothered by what they feel. I feel others problems and emotions. If a friend is moody or upset, I sit an think what I could have done to them to make them feel this way.
According to some books highly sensitive people are those who are cautious about what they do and think a lot before they say or do something. So we do need these feeling people in the society to temper the risk takers or the insensitive folks.
Sensitive people are those who pick all the subtle nuances or subtle signs in an environment and this can work to their advantage as they normally get a sign that trouble is brewing when it is brewing up .But at the same time sensitive people are prone to hurt because little things affect them. For example if a friend is moody and is too quiet, a sensitive person is bound to think why and how they are responsible for the friend being in a bad mood. In the bargain they go through some harrowing moments. Little issues keep working on their minds, keeping them up at nights.
A lot of times they are so empathetic, they get involved in peoples problems and emotions. They are unable to shake of emotions easily. If they see someone suffering it affects deep. If hurt, it takes time for them to get back to normal. They are tuned in to the emotions of those around them and generally avoid conflicts and confrontations.
Since there are more insensitive people around ,most often sensitive people wish they were more thick skinned and less affected by all that’s around them. They look at sensitivity as a weakness and wish things did not bother them as much and that their emotions were less obvious to others.
What do you feel? Is it wrong to be a sensitive person in the present day world, or do we need more sensitive , feeling people in this world to change how we look at things?

Well,Saanj What I think is that Ur the most lovliest person i have known, pure and genuine.. And yea Sensitive, but…not much not less, ur just amazing
now when thats said…lets talk abt sensitivness 
I love the way u wrote this post, its like nothing missing.. I believe that every indiviual got 2be little bit sensitive 2 really enjoy the beauty of life, But then again 2much of ANYthing isnt gud.. So I guess being that much sensitive that one feel they the reason 4 every down sad person/friend wont be healthy.. And being that insensitive that dont care at all how ur dear once doing and so on wud be the worst!
One needs 2have balance with their sensitiveness, and realise that ONE person cant please and make EVERY person happy
I myself is know as a very sensitive girl
itna ke that sometimes creat problems 4me hehe, I can see/hear abt any1,absolutely no1 down or hurt, let go ppl realated 2me being sad or upset, i just have 2find a way 2make them feel better.. but im working towards finding a healthy dose of being sensitive 
as i have been told so many times that I can be there 4them, I cant make decissions 4 them or live their lives 4 them na hmm.. And i guess thats how it shud be!
Be blessed, and keep smiling chishy

I feel there should be more sensitive people in this world as insensitive people are more than enough na… insensitive people don’t care about anyone or anything all the time. Sensitive people might have issues they need cleared out which makes them quite touchy at times, something which is a sign that they are alive and breathing.

Thank you for brining attention to the trait of high sensitivity. If you would be interested, I’d love for you to visit this short video that describes the trait and why I wrote my memoir about growing up sensitive.
Warmest,
Jenna

yo saanj-i definitely think the world would be a much more livable place if there were more sensitive people.havin said that i also feel it would be ideal if people were more sensitive to others needs and less sensitive about oneself therefore givin the right balance.more often than not we see people highly sensitive to their own needs and not sensitive to others feelings.you rock!!!! your writing always gets the right pulse-way to go -saanj!!!!
