    Sensitivity

    Sensitivity refers to the ability of an organism or organ to detect and respond to external stimuli. People with higher sensitivity will perceive a stimulus more strongly at a lower level than less sensitive individuals. Highly sensitive people are more strongly reactive both externally and internally, and are more disturbed by violence, tension or feelings of being overwhelmed. However, they also tend to be more creative, have richer relationships, greater appreciation for beauty, and a higher capacity for empathy.
