How to use "Hypersensitive" in context?
There is no one-size-fits-all definition of hypersensitivity, but it is generally accepted to refer to a situation in which people experience unusually high levels of emotional or physical sensitivity. This sensitivity can be triggered by any number of stimuli, including smells, sounds, touch, and photos.
Some people with hypersensitivity find that they are constantly rushing or panicking in response to brief exposures to triggers. Others find that they are extremely susceptible to allergies or chronic pain. Many people with hypersensitivity find that the problem is exacerbated by anxiety or stress.
