Over sensibilities or hypersensitivity can be referred to as emotionalism or touchiness. They may also be called thin-skinned or easily offended. Other synonyms include being overly reactive, overreactive, volatile, or dramatic. An individual who is highly sensitive may also be referred to as a delicate person with a low tolerance for discomfort or stress. They may also be perceived as being overly cautious, careful, or timid. In some cases, over sensitivities may be seen as an asset, such as having heightened intuition and empathy. However, it can also lead to negative consequences such as emotional exhaustion or an inability to handle criticism and conflict.
