Being sensitive is not bad. It's how you react to your senses that matters.
When people say someone is too sensitive, it usually means they react badly. Insensitive people do not react badly, because they never sensed anything was wrong in the first place.
A sensitive person who is in control of their actions can be a great leader, because they are aware of how different situations make people feel.
I think gaslighting is involved. If someone is overreacting or reacting badly then criticize the action not the person and his character flaws
Edit:
Regarding insensitivity, when I am most irate I can be the coldest most ruthless person. Need help? Talk to the hand

How does sensitivity inherently connected to gaslighting? Did you read the original post?

When people call you oversensitive, they are gaslighting you
In other words, I am defending you

I see what you are saying now. I think it's interesting how different the word sensitive is at its root versus how we perceive it within social constructs. I think this is true with a lot of our language. It feels like we change the meaning of words.

Resilience is probably the most important trait you can develop
I have trouble with it

Me too. Interacting on here helps me learn. Honestly before stacker I never really dealt with online interactions. I never shared myself and opened up anywhere. It's very different than in person interactions.

That makes sense and I agree. And I think sensitive people who stand I their power can be very intimidating to someone who is uncomfortable in their skin. In my experience people are either very attracted to me or very put off. Especially in person. It feels like a blessing mostly and also super challenging at times.
