It's based on an opinion, his opinion ....where is the line between being just sensitive and "too" sensitive?

Edited to add: Yup I have a bee in my bonnet about people calling people 'too sensitive"

It is a fallacy of logic to argue that the lack of a clear delineation between sensitivity and too much sensitivity is evidence that there is no such thing as too much sensitivity.

I think there is definitely such a thing as being too sensitive, and it seems to me that denying this is shifting the responsibility for managing the too sensitive person's emotions onto other people - which is something people who are too sensitive sometimes do, directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally. That is not helpful for anybody.
