I feel that part about the struggle to deal with sensitivity. I agree with your second definition. The first one isn't really what the word means in my opinion. It's how we tend to interpret it. Sensitivity out of the context of human interaction has nothing to do with letting external factors effect you negatively. It just is. No negative or positive associated with it. It just means having lots of sense. We humans have twisted the meaning. Does that make sense? Pun intended

Does that make sense? Pun intended Ha.

Yeah, I think we can agree that sensitivity has many definitions and interpretations in society. However, I think most of society tends to attribute being sensitive to one that takes things personally often.

You are right, but that's not what it means. Take the word in a bigger context and it is about taking in more information. That was the point of the post. Words have their core meaning for a reason. I think it's important to consider.
