No one likes overly sensitive people. Research found that genes might be responsible for 15-20% of people described as overly sensitive.
Psychologist Elain Aron studied this phenomenon on a wider spectrum, and by using MRI to scan excessively sensitive people's brains, she found that they have more ability to perceive voices, emotions, and others' presence than normal people do.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize and understand our emotions and those of others. It is also the ability to use this awareness to manage our behaviors and relationships. On the bright side, overly sensitive people are neither more nor less intelligent than others.
Overly sensitive people have a distinctive ability to sense things. It is easier to acknowledge their strong emotions and utilize them for their own good than it is to a regular person because that helps them to actively interact, as not only do they hear words coming from other's mouths, but also recognize the tiny hidden details in nods and gestures.
However, this sensitivity has its own dark side. If you let overwhelming emotions loose, they might lead to terrible consequences. Excessively sensitive people can use emotional intelligence to their advantage only when they are aware of their condition. That awareness can guarantee their use of the increasing emotional awareness when they know that their tendency to behave in a negative way, but get rid of it.
You might be wondering whether you or someone you know have excessive sensitivity, so here we have the most common qualities among excessively sensitive people, and how they apply them:
When an abrupt problem strikes them, they hide deep down in their shell and consider every single result before taking any action. Small things in their life or other people's lives may have a large impact on them.
They are as sensitive to details as they are to feelings. They notice the details that other people do not, and they are not happy until they are aware of the whole situation to think about the details accurately and carefully. However, that will be a strength if used in the right career.
Digging deep down to figure out the roots of a problem makes them tend to exclude choices and drives them to study and examine every possible result in their minds, so they often waste a considerable amount of time in doing that.
When they finally make up their mind, and it turns out to be a bad choice, it affects them badly compared to regular people. That would lead to falling into a vicious circle, which slows the process of making a decision more and more because the fear of making a bad decision is one of the reasons that holds them back in the first place.
When you let them act freely without any consequences, they have a quick reaction to their feelings and towards others' sufferings. Nevertheless, when their feelings become so overwhelming, that will control their behaviors and actions, which will make it difficult for them to move towards the right behavior.
Their strong feelings and intense emotional reactions can make them bad at accepting criticism. However, despite their exaggerated reaction towards criticism ,they tend to think hard and explore things deeply.
That might benefit them in the long term because not being able to ignore criticism helps them to make the right change.
Their unique ability to be considerate about people's feelings, find balance between different aspects of decisions, and pay attention to the tiniest details makes them active members in team-oriented environments.
We cannot, of course, ignore the downside of that if they were in charge of making final decisions because they are more suitable to give input and analyze than make critical decisions.
Excessive awareness of others' feelings keeps their conscience awake. They pay sincere attention to how their behaviors can affect others. They show good manners and get filled with anger at others’ rudeness.
Their sensitivity towards people, noises, and other provocative things makes it almost impossible for them to work actively in an open office. It also makes them more comfortable in their own offices or working from their homes.
Excessive sensitivity, like everything in life, is a two-edged sword; you can make it a curse, or you can deal with it and make better use of it.
