Why Do Sensitive People Get Offended Easily?

Highly Sensitive people tend to care too deeply about others and cannot process the idea of building walls to protect feelings. They tend to feel everything too deeply and scientifically; they start producing stress hormones with less information itself. They wear their heart on their sleeve which most people tend to take advantage of, making them vulnerable to the slightest comment passed at them.

Everybody is aware of their strengths and shortcomings. But sensitive people are very insecure about the qualities that they don’t have. Unlike strong people, they don’t have a protective wall that they can block their feelings from.

Sensitive people get overwhelmed very easily on every small thing, and it won’t be wrong to call them passionate towards life. They recognize other people’s feelings easily and maybe expect the same from others, and when people get rude to them deliberately or humorously, they get offended. They respond to being talked to gently. They seem to take it for the contrary if spoken in any other tone. If you want to make a sensitive person do something, talk to them in an encouraging and light way.

Mocking a sensitive person for the way that they are will only make things worse if it’s someone close to you that you do not want to hurt. Perhaps rather ask them what they are so ‘sensitive’ about. Talk to them if something you said is bothering them because they are otherwise very protective of their feelings, including the feeling of being vulnerable. When people talk to them in a harsh way, they think that someone has exposed them in as somewhat embarrassing way.

Sensitive people are not only very sensitive and protective about their feelings but other’s feelings too. The reason why they seem to surprise and offended when somebody judges you in a polite way is that they would never do that to someone. They are either unaware or get pretty offended by sarcasm or even healthy criticism for that matter. One thing that I know about sensitive people who just cannot process being spoken to harshly is that they will never speak to you harshly.
