How Sensitive Are You?

You cry at movies, sad songs, unfair situations, frustrating moments, the drop of a hat...and at just about every other time as well. You are also likely to pick up on other people's emotions and energies and absorb them as your own, which means that you can start to feel stressed or depressed when spending time around other people who are feeling down. But not everything about being sensitive is a bad thing. As a highly sensitive person, you have an unusually strong sense of compassion, are highly creative, and have the ability to love and be loved very deeply.

You can be slightly too sensitive at times, but there's actually nothing wrong with this at all. Sensitive people are, in general, very caring, passionate souls that feel more intensely than other people, which means that they live life more intensely as well. Try working on recognizing when you're picking up on other people's negative energies and build your own self-confidence to keep from letting the little things stress you out too much.

You are emotionally well-balanced. You instinctively handle the negativity that life throws in the way of everyone who walks down its path with expert clarity and efficiency. You know how to embrace every single one of your emotions and how to comfort yourself when uncomfortable feelings or situations inevitably pop up. You also know how to relish in the positive aspects of life, and this is the key to your emotional health and well-being.

You are slightly insensitive, which means that, at times, you fail to consider the feelings of others. This can often point to insecurity and low self-esteem, though it can also just mean that you are oblivious and have your head in the clouds sometimes. In an effort to become a more liked and well-balanced person, you should focus on tuning in to the emotions of other people and reacting to them as you would like to be treated yourself.

You are a highly insensitive person. You should try enriching your interactions with people by tuning in to them emotionally. By paying more attention to their feelings, you can understand what it's like to be in their shoes and become more compassionate. You might be surprised to find how much your empathy and understanding of others can improve the quality of your life!
