Sensitivity
Sensitivity is the increased ability to perceive, experience, or respond to stimuli, emotions, relationships, and meanings.
Definition
Sensitivity can be a resource because it promotes empathy, subtle observation and deep processing of experiences. It can also increase susceptibility to overload if there is a lack of boundaries, regulation and rest. It is neither a flaw nor an automatic superpower - it requires knowledge of your own permeability and regeneration conditions.
