A person who is very sensitive is more sensitive to social cues, such as the voices and expressions of other people. They can have a higher capacity for empathy but are also more prone to overstimulation.
A highly sensitive person (HSP) has a high threshold for sensory information, social cues, and their surroundings. Being very sensitive is a personality feature that may be examined and used to succeed rather than something to be treated or changed. Some people may find that getting the guidance of a therapist with experience working with HSPs can be beneficial for creating coping mechanisms, upholding healthy boundaries, navigating interpersonal interactions, and enhancing their strengths.
