If you're overly sensitive, you know the world doesn't revolve around you. You could be up at three in the morning thinking about a conversation you had in the afternoon, hoping that you didn't say something "wrong."

I feel as though people are afraid to be called "sensitive" because they see it as being weak or self-absorbed. If you're truly sensitive, you know that being sensitive is not about being weak or constantly thinking about yourself. You know that being sensitive means that you feel things very deeply.

As a society, we need to stop thinking about sensitivity as a negative thing. Sensitive people are usually the most considerate. They're in tune with their feelings and, nine times out of ten, they want to be in tune with yours too.

Sensitivity comes in all different forms. A common misconception is that people who are sensitive cry a lot and for no reason. Everyone's different. Some people show their sensitivity through crying, others through yelling, and others quite commonly by stone-cold silence.

When you feel things deeply, joy is no exception. So if you're sensitive, there's a good chance that when you're happy, you're really damn happy.

Sensitive people usually aren't selfish, just aware of their needs. A common reason they are easily upset is because they would willingly do things for others, and others do not do the same to them. The needs of other people vary, but I can say confidently that everyone needs to feel included, sensitive or not.

So how do you deal with a sensitive person? You shouldn't have to feel like you're walking on egg shells, but you should also keep in mind that they feel very deeply. Appreciate them, and make it known. Return their favors, and keep in mind that they are overthinkers. One thing that you say to them could resonate with them for a very long time.
