They are very sensitive to people, animals, things and events. They are very emotional. They form the highest bulk of people who are depressed, have low self-esteem and more likely to commit suicide. They’re easily hurt and are vulnerable to being taken advantage of by other people.
Despite this, they are the happiest people in the world, the most peaceful ones and the few who in more than one occasions are in tune with humanity and nature as a whole. They are the peacemakers, the negotiators, the go-between, the cornerstone in institutions,and families and teams. They form only 20% of the world’s population.
It is true being too emotional has its drawbacks however being too emotional is not a disadvantage. The problem is not being too sensitive but how to deal with the emotions that are not friendly.
This article aims to outline the symptoms highly sensitive people exhibit. As you will notice, their highly sensitiveness to people, things and events serves them right as they’re of more beneficial to them than detrimental.

I got reflective, I always felt I was sensitive but do myself
That’s one characteristics of HSP. They are usually sensitive to themselves without others knowing. Many times, they hide how they feel about an issue or a person.
And sometimes I hid some feelings from myself…However, we live and learn. Sensitivity can be a good thing sometimes..
That’s true. It has positive aspect and negative one especially when it becomes too much.
You got: Reflective Great quiz. The description fits me perfectly

Thank you, Rasma. Thanks for taking the quiz. I hope it relates with you.
My result is Reflective, very curious to know, thank you very much!!!
Thank you, Anastasia and thanks for taking the quiz. I can see you’re reflective (very curious)
I liked that although sometimes I was kind of in between.
There are some people who are in-between. Some exhibit both sides, not leaning much on one side. Thanks for taking the quiz.
Interesting, probably needs to have more questions to get a good answer but it was fun to take!
I preparing another one to give a person enough points to consider whether they display this personality trait. Thanks for taking the quiz.
I got replicant. Should’ve known this was Voight-Kampff test in disguise…
Hahaha…you are a replicant! Oh my! So, you are a robot.
according to your test, I am. now I am worried about Blade Runners…
Hahaha…you should be very worried about them.
Got I am an avoidant and it describes me to a tee.. great quiz… thank you for shedding some light on my personality…
I know you lean so much on the introversion personality. Majority of introverts possess this personality type. I am also avoidant. I tend to avoid people so much not because they irritated me or did something wrong. I tend to feel I am not up to talking – not in the mood to talk.
Thank you too and thanks for taking the quiz.
Reflective – Carol has quoted the whole meaning of what it is being reflective.
I am reflective.
From your post, I noted you’re an introvert (or am I mistaken). Reflecting on past events and preparing for possible oncoming events is one of the major signs of this personality trait.
Thanks for taking the quiz.
Good heavens!! I am a great party organiser, have raised toasts, conducted shows………………
I reflect because I have plenty to. I have travelled a lot and just re-live those and other memories sitting in my favourite corner (lol).
I am a senior and at this point in my life I re live on memories rather than creating them.
Hahahaha…I have understood you. At your age you have to relieve the things you did, reflect on past memories.
I know that’s common among the seniors. The time to relax and look back.
Reflective: They are thoughtful. At the end of the day they go through the day’s happenings and analyze how it was. How did they behave? How did they react to a comment? Positively or negatively? When a not-so-good situation happens how will they deal with it? They reflect how they behaved or reacted and how they ought to behave or react when the situation presents itself once again or several times.
Great quiz! Answer is very accurate.
Thank you for taking the quiz. As an introvert, I knew you might display this personality trait as is the case with History Gal. And, I was right??
