Being overly sensitive..causes issues!

Sensitivity can be a good thing. It can be helpful when one person can understand the feelings of another person. However, when a person assumes all sorts of negative feelings or thinking of another person which are completely untrue then sensitivity has taken a turn for the worst.

Sensitivity is about feelings. Healthy sensitivity is about understanding or interpreting feelings accurately. Sensitivity can mean either a person experiencing empathy, which is understanding or relating to another persons feelings, or experiencing their own feelings as a result of another persons behavior.

The observation or interaction with another person does not guarantee accurate interpretation of that person's feelings. You cannot see thoughts or feelings, we can only interpret what they might mean. There are many factors to be considered when interpreting others' behavior.

Consider the Attribution Theory. If you are not familiar email me and I will explain it.

Also over sensitivity which can result from many causes leads individuals to automatically assume negative thoughts and feelings of others. UGH.

If you find yourself often feeling or thinking that others have negative thoughts, opinions, or feelings about you then please find an effective therapist to help you work out these deep rooted issues. Or else you will be miserable and so will your friends, family, and mates.
