Some people are very afraid of pain, gently zap him a little will cry in pain this is a normal physiological reaction, this physiological reaction can not be controlled.

But some people are sensitive inside, this inner sensitivity is subjective a person is too sensitive, then he can not get happy. Because he lives in his world every day, he is extremely sensitive to the people outside and what happens, and over time he will be bothered by sensitivity, so he will always feel that he is simply unlucky.

So what is sensitivity? Psychologists have given some answers. Sensitive means that a person's sense of something or something very sensitive can quickly make a judgment, and get a lot of imperceptible subjective information.

Sensitivity itself is not a bad thing, it can even help you get more information, but if you are too sensitive, that is a bad thing, if you are too sensitive, then you will be entangled in some things, make too much speculation, and even get some wrong perceptions.

Being over-sensitive, bring a lot of psychological burdens and pressure some things do not need to think so much, we sometimes do not do too much subjective speculation, whether to maintain sanity and objectivity.

There is such a category of people in life, they are very good people themselves, their requirements are also very high. But this high demand let them become very nervous and very sensitive, their hearts are always full of wariness, so they will be around the existence of other people as imaginary enemies, then lead to their hearts very insecure, usually by others' thoughtless words hurt, others will be kind jokes they misinterpreted as ridicule. Such people are usually sensitive and suspicious.

In psychology, this kind of person's practice will be treated as a relative deprivation sense of conditioned reflex. So what is the sense of relative deprivation? Relative deprivation is when people compare their situation with some standard or reference if they find themselves in a state of inferiority and produce a sense of deprivation.

We have to live a simpler life, there are not so many enemies in this world, and we do not need to read too much into the behavior or words of others. Otherwise, it will always feel like everything is bad. The main reason for the sensitivity is not confidence. Unconfident people will always see the merits of others and always go to deny their own merits. Proper sensitivity is good and can help you insight into many things, but if it is excessive, then it will cause physical and mental ill health.

If you are a very sensitive person, then you need to make changes! First of all, we have to adjust our mindset. Secondly, we must be confident and not use our shortcomings to compare with the strengths of others. Finally, we must learn to accept the imperfections people can not be without flaws, to learn to tolerate themselves, which is a mature person's performance.

Sensitive people are too concerned about what others think, always condescending to themselves, and always care about other eyes.

To put it another way, for some highly sensitive people, this is a challenge, but there may still be a good thing, which is its advantage.

Because highly sensitive people will always be accompanied by creativity and extreme enthusiasm, artists, painters, philosophers, and poets will be admired and loved because they have contributed to society, and this may have a lot to do with sensitivity, if there is no Beethoven, no Leonardo da Vinci, no Mozart, then how our world is full of art? How can it be filled with light?

Sensitivity is not a mistake, and we should not attribute other people's mistakes to ourselves, we just need to live for ourselves, be happy for ourselves, and be responsible for ourselves, then it is enough.
