You might be highly touched by beauty or emotionality. Highly sensitive people tend to feel deeply moved by the beauty they see around them. They may cry while watching particularly heartwarming videos and can really empathize with the feelings of others, both negative and positive.

Being too sensitive can lead to indifference. Being sensitive is a good thing, as it cues you in to the world around you. It alerts you to danger; it’s also the basis for empathy.

Sensitivity is wrongly depicted as an undesirable trait, while nonchalance is mistaken for a sign of strength. While I do agree it’s important to recognize your high sensitivity and find ways to make it work for you — rather than against you — it’s not inherently bad to be sensitive.

— so it’s certainly not a rare thing. The next time someone says you’re always so sensitive, remember that it’s totally normal. And it’s not a bad thing either. You may feel positive emotions more deeply than others, too.
