How would be react if unexpected reactions comes your way from a person whom you feel is an easy going person seems to a very very sensitive person! I've had an experience with this part of life with people across. I was spell bound when my casual comments thinking that the person too will join me in a easy going way kept a long silence and i was embarassed with the reaction for i felt "did i hurt unknowingly" slowly i read that people-i beleive all will fall in this line, every one have their sensitive corner in their restricted areas, when probed into it, they will feel sensitive and their reactions are totally unpredicted.
Its better that we keep balance in moving with people no matter however close, we should restrict not to probe into too much on any angles of others life.
From their point of angle too, we need to think, the agony or the feelings they undergo with their sensitive attitude.
All we can do is if they are little understanding we can bring out them from their sensitive nature, by talking to them about their sensitive nature, which is a negative side of the human. Add more positive attitude to take away their sensitiveness.
what will you do if you come across a sensitive person and how will you be handling them. Share your views please.

It is hard to make friendship with people who are over sensitive. Sorry, please don't get me wrong here. I don't mean that I don't want to make friendship with people who are very sensitive. I just want to make a point that in life, we can't always hope that others always do and speak nice things to you all the time. We are not God. Even God can also make "wrath" to us.

i would be careful what i said to the sensitive person and hopefully find out what they are sensitive about and be less tactful in those areas and apologize if i did offend them knowlingly or unknowingly

yeah even the most goodnatured people or the funniest people get edgy when we hit a sore spot. i think everyone has a sensitive side in them and we have to be really careful not to offend them. we may find our jokes funny but some people may easily get ticked off. i actually offended someone by being tactless, i didn't realize it was a sensitive topic. i was quick to apologize though.

Well, would you mind hearing from an extremely sensitive person. I feel that there are certain safe conversations that you can use until you get to know someone better. You don't want to discuss politics or religion to someone who may be high strung or extra-sensitive.
I get offended easily. For instance, if I am watching television with a friend and she makes fun of a handicap or elderly person, I will get upset. I was made fun of and bullied in school, so I don't like when people do that to others.
You never know what all another person has gone through, so if you want to count them as a friend, be careful not to offend.

Only when we encounter some incidents we realise certain things.I have got a sensitive friend in my group and we all know this very well.So we handle her carefully inorder not to hurt her in any way as well know how she will react if any of our words make her sensitive.We have tried to explain her about this in different situation and whenever we talk about this the only answer from her his "possiveness towards friends" We are helpless inresolving her but truly to be said is she is a very caring person among all of our friends.so we started to adjust her.
You are right..we need to adjust ourselves and try to eradicate the sensitiveness among the person who has got this quality in immense.yes, we all have this sensitive feeling and it ourburst when its beyond a particular level.This too differs from person to person.

I think everybody has certain things they are sensitive about. I don't think being sensitive is a bad quality in a person. Usually, sensitive people are very caring and will be very good friends. I would try to learn from a sensitive person exactly what their thoughts are on certain things. They probably just have different views and are actually more concerned about the sensitivity of others then they are themselves.

I dont consider being sensitive as a negative in my opnion what you are refering to is feelings people always will react to something or not react if its something that is deeply personal to them there is no shame in being sensitive I am and always have been and I know its because of things I have been through in my life I dont think you need to help them change they are who they are and you should accept that..
