1. You Are Sensitive to the Feelings of Others
One of the benefits of being a sensitive person is that you are sensitive to the feelings of others. You know how it feels to be upset or troubled over something, so you are very careful of others' feelings. You don’t want them to feel badly over things the way that you do.

Being a sensitive person usually means that you are a caring person, as well. You are more in touch with your feelings and tend to feel things in a bigger way. This includes caring about others in your life. It is easy for you to think of others and have fond feelings toward them. You have a big heart.

7. You Don’t Have a Fake Personality
A sensitive person is usually very authentic. They know who they are and are accepting of that. You do not get a vibe of fakeness off of someone like this. Sensitive people are usually the ones that people are often drawn to. They are treasured for their sincerity.

Marcella: I am sensitive and I'd like to stay that way :-D
Stacie: Love this so much, so true
Sarah: I am also a sensitive person! I never really saw it as a gift until I read this article and now I understand why I am lucky to be the way I am. There are many downsides as well to being sensitive. Like I get my feelings hurt way too easily. But that's just what makes me who I am. I do have a strong creative side! I'm an artist so what they say about sensitive people must be true. I've always been very caring and loving to everyone I'm close too. I don't try to be that way it just comes naturally to me. I'm really happy to see that there are other people like me commenting on here!
Ms: iyoooo this is my description....very sensitive it is not funny.
Jeanette: My sensitivity has at times been frustrating. Always having to deal with mean people have often been hurtful. But I am very hoser and open and I don't hide from those who are not nice to me. I just simply ask if I've done anything that has made you want to confront me in such a disrespectful way. I let people walk all over so I won't hurt their ego. I tell myself I'm ok because I know I'm letting them have the upper hand but honestly lately I'm sick of allowing even my closet friends make rude remarks while they are trying to make themselves look good. I'm honest now and I feel very wrong if I allow others be kind of hurt by those women who thrive on intentionally being a bully in a situation they feel like it's making themselves appear strong. I'm very matter a fact when I approach people who are being rude or disrespectful to my fellow sensitive peoples:). I just state a way that it's not attractive to see such beautiful women be so ugly to each other in a power struggle that only you are fighting to win. People are so mean sometimes. I have a lot to say to people who are not very good to me at times. I'm done biting my tongue.
Safiya: I've always hated being a sensitive person. This article somewhat made me smile
Jasmijne: I am a sensitive person and i'm going to study psychology because I believe that my sensitivity will be usefull to help other people overcome their personal problems :) Being sensitive is a gift and blessing as much as it is a curse, but you should make the best out of the talents that have been given too you!
Kirstie: This is me in a nutshell
