Especially if you come from a rough and tumble fight-it-out kind of family, dating a highly sensitive person can be a shock to you and them too. About 20% of the population identifies as being extremely sensitive. So with that in mind, these are the 7 things you know before you date a sensitive person.
1. They’re extremely sensitive to the emotions of others.
Sensitive people don’t just get their feelings hurt easily – that’s not what sensitivity is about. One of their traits is feeling the emotions of other people. If something happens to a friend or relative of your sensitive partner, even if they are somewhat detached from that person, they still need support during that time.
2. They’re sensitive to their surroundings.
Sensitive people can get easily uncomfortable in a situation when they feel they might be in danger of some kind. They have a good sense of their environment. If you’ve taken them to a seedy bar, don’t be too surprised if they bail early.
