i am a sensitive person. i cry at the lamest reason like someone feels i'm bad. i hurt at the slightest raise of voice. i feel that this is not good but some my friends say it's something healthy. so when does being sensitive become positive or negative?

I'm a sensitive person myself. I think it's normal to cry when you feel bad or to get offended when someone raises his or her voice at you. Just don't let that get to you too much because there are insensitive people out there who do not care so much about how others feel. I guess it's healthy because you're cautious about offending people, since you are sensitive yourself. It's unhealthy when it ruins your day and it affects your work and your relationship with others.

i agree. my boyfriend told me once that crying is normal, it only shows you're human and have emotions that you'd want to let off. being sensitive would only get negative when you dwell too much on it and let it ruin your day. i like that. :)

Base to your example it is actually the negative feeling of being sensitive. When it comes to positive sensitive then the example there is being sensitive to the needs of others, being selfless, or something to do with concern with other people. Maybe the difference is that being in negative is all about yourself that is being self pity, has inferiority complex while the positive is something about thinking of other people for the better.

thank you metatronik. i am sensitive to when it comes to feelings of other people. but is it really negative when you cry or hurt easily? i believe in myself, i'm proud of who i become. just when i'm hurt or when people say bad things to me, my eyes easily fills with tears and it's hard to fight it back.

but, it is also very important to be having "discernment".

Iam also very sensitive..As Iam married and Iam doing extremely well with my new family and my hubby but all the time the thing runs in my mind is to be best and make everyone happy that sometimes result into self torture even when Iam not at fault.I really need to improve and want to become smarter because nowadays being sensitive doesnt pay you any reward...My hubby is very loving and with him Iam learning to be strong and smart..although it will take time...Iam sensitive sometimes on issues like why so and so person said like that and what is the reason behind his or her saying.Iam extremly deep thinker and that really needs to be improved..Wish with the love and support of my hubby I will change into strong hearted person..
