Simple tips to discover if you’re a sensitive person
In my personal experience, deep down I’ve always known I’m a sensitive person. However,
The truth is that all human beings possess a certain level of sensitivity.
In some of us it’s more present than in others, also some express it more openly than others.
Here’s a quick check list to identify what’s the level of your sensitivity:
- As a child I used to be withdrawn and feel too much;
- I cry often or feel like crying if I see or experience injustice or somebody’s misbehavior;
- I absorb the atmosphere in my surroundings – if a colleague or a family member is angry or sad, I feel uneasy and eventually start feeling surpressed;
- Big crowds, loud noises and bright lights make me shrink and want to run away;
- I often feel overwhelmed and disempowered by injustice, materialism and cruelty;
- I’m deeply hurt by criticism and mean remarks;
- Usually I take things to heart and don’t have a careless attitude;
