Sensitivity refers to the capacity to perceive, detect, or respond to stimuli, both internal and external. In a psychological context, it involves heightened awareness and responsiveness to emotions, stimuli, or environmental factors.
Sensitivity can manifest in various forms, including emotional sensitivity, sensory perception, or responsiveness to cultural nuances. Being sensitive may imply an increased susceptibility to stimuli, whether physical or emotional, and often contributes to a nuanced understanding of one’s surroundings.
Sensitivity is a multifaceted trait, influencing interpersonal relationships, creativity, and the ability to empathize with others.
