I am overly sensitive in how deeply I react emotionally. However, the triggers are only from extremely uncaring, callous behavior from the other person. They were the closest ones to me, who professed to care for me, so minimal expectations were warranted.

In general, my feelings can get hurt, but I don’t react aside from distancing from that person. I’m not hypercritical, looking for slights. Someone has to be pretty rude for me to take notice.

I have researched a lot about disorders and sensitivity and perfectionism seem to be a trait overlapping.

I’ll own in myself an intense emotional reaction as something for me to improve, but my perception is very accurate.
