What are the opposite words for insensitive?
The word insensitive is often used to describe somebody who lacks sensitivity, empathy or compassion towards others' feelings. The antonyms for insensitive include sensitive, empathetic, compassionate, caring, understanding, and considerate. A person who is sensitive is intuitively aware of others' emotional states and able to empathize with them. Empathetic people are those who can put themselves in someone else's shoes and understand what they're feeling, and compassionate people are those who are motivated by a desire to alleviate another's suffering. In contrast, a person who is inconsiderate or thoughtless is insensitive, while someone who is kindhearted and sympathetic is highly sensitive. These antonyms can help people better understand how their actions affect others and become more empathetic towards others.
