A sensitive person is someone who experiences emotions more intensely than others. They may react strongly to various stimuli, such as loud noises, bright lights, or even the emotions of those around them. This heightened sensitivity can lead to deep empathy and understanding, allowing them to connect with others on a profound level. Sensitive individuals often require more time to process their feelings and may need to retreat to recharge after social interactions. This trait is sometimes linked to Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) characteristics, which can include a strong appreciation for art, nature, and beauty, as well as a tendency to feel overwhelmed in busy environments.
