I've experienced being sensitive in many different ways. I've been slagged off for it and it has been used as a weapon against me so often, as well as this rather wonderful part of me being mocked, shamed and rejected. I think that is a shame.

I believe everyone is sensitive, I think that for various reasons the sensitivity is not as sensitive in some as it is in others, with valid reason.

I think sensitivity is experience related also. For example, someone tells me they have been a victim of racism, if I have not experienced that, I can only empathise to a certain extent by knowing how it feels have something on my physical being that other people do not accept.

I think sensitivity to self and the world is a fantastic quality to have!
