Dealing with the sensitive people is quite different than meeting the other people in a normal way. You may not have any difficulty in exchanging views and opinions with the friends who are not highly sensitive but may have with those who are attuned to subtle changes in their environment. They often take a normal thing; that is for you, as surprising that it becomes hard to think of ways in which one could make them understand with extreme caution. There is always a person close in your circle that needs to be treated in an extra careful manner and for that we jot down some traits that will help you to know the way to deal with a sensitive person.
1. They can’t stand any sort of conflict.
Even when something doesn’t throw in their direction, they still feel it for themselves. Their emotions are always on a high alert. You never know but you step on their alert nerve inadvertently. Most of them avoid engaging the interactive discussions. They are not capable of agreeing to the disagreements and opt to step out of the issue altogether. If you feel someone is avoiding participation in the discussions or sorting out the conflicts then you should ask for their feedback and know what they feel about the issue.
2. They are not public people.
They are overwhelmed when dealing individually with the new people or a group of people. They are comfortable with a specific set of persons and it’s better to assign them tasks with those people. Their skills will outshine when they are involved in team activities or objectives accomplish in groups.
3. Their gut feeling is stronger than other people.
Sometimes an extrovert tends to provide accurate information or solutions because they do a lot of deliberation before they confer an opinion. They don’t say anything every time doesn’t mean that they don’t think or process, they do and better than anyone else. They are highly sensitive thus they can sense any subtle shift or change in any situation. Their gut feeling is strong and can be trusted if you have a person close in your friends circle.
4. They are downright full of empathy.
In a depressed situation, if you need a sympathetic ear then no one is better than a highly sensitive person. You will not see them as judgmental rather understanding and full of empathy. They excel in a care giving profession and help others to vent their stress out during an anxiety state. They keep a safe distance from the selfish people because they can’t stand those who are good with you only for their own interest.
5. Their emotions are not attuned with criticism.
Nobody likes a negative criticism but for the highly sensitive people, it is extremely hard to digest and move on. For days, they undergo a state of self-doubt and would spiral down into self-inadequacy. They expect a praiseworthy feedback every time and if anytime they receive a small part of it as something to improve on then they believe it’s a waste of time to even try for it initially.
