Who enjoys an insensitive person, one who couldn’t care less about others?

Who enjoys an overly sensitive person, one who always seems to get hurt by whatever we say?

HOW SENSITIVE ARE YOU? Is it an asset or liability?

im a sensitive person. i don't know how to explain this but i can sense that a person doesn't like me or that person is angry at me even if he/she doesn't tell me.

I would rather work with sensitive individuals that insensitive ones.

I am a sensitive guy, though I do not show it. It's all about common decency, and civility's-sake.

That's my take on it.

Sensitivity is an asset.  It means you have regard to the feelings of other people.  Wag lang ultra sensitive because that becomes annoying in the long run.

I'd consider myself as a sensitive person. 

im a sensitive person and i consider it as an asset and a liability. asset because you the ability to sense what's good or bad and what the people around feels about you. liability in the sense that you already know what other people feels about even if they acted as if they don't know but their gestures says otherwise. that means they are plastic to you and it made me upset all the time. you don't know what did you do that made them feel that way and even if you will asked them they still won't accept instead they will deny it. that's a sad truth and a big liability that you carry when you are so sensitive. i wish i can control it or perhaps try not to be sensitive all the time.

Very well said, Bol-anon nga cebuano.

I agree.

I used to be a sensitive person, but as i grew older it didnt work with me very well.

Let me say it this way, we all were born alone from each of our mother's womb. Alone in nine months inside with no one and yes i agree with our mother but what i meant is being inside for nine months we already survived to live, so meaning we are already designed to survive whenever we go out in this world. Each and everyone of us individuals already has that ability to survive in what ever situation we encounter in life. So i always believed that each and everyone of us can and has the ability to deal with what every challenge we will have. (to make this long story short)

Honest, I prioritized myself before anything and anyone else in this world.  And it would deviate my philisophy if im being a sensitive person.  If i choose to remain being a sensitive person and care everybody i might as well making everybody sensitive. I didnt mean this to everyone, but i considered sensitive person, WEAK.

I am a sensitive person, but I keep my cool at all times. I believe that there is a proper place for everything.

As much as possible I want to maintain the image and composure that I want to show in public. I hold myself not to be carried away by any situation and become hysterical, crying, overlaughing, angry, etc. to the crowd I do not know. I show my real emotions only to my real friends.

That means if you saw me crying, you are something special to me.

Liability.

I used to be a no may care person.
I changed cause it's not good for me and the people around me.. dah. perme na nuon masakitan..

I admire your philosophy, Mr. Ferniz.

'A place for everything and everything in its place', I like that, it's like a 5's Philosophy.

Personally, I'm a sensitive person and at times, it is very difficult to separate my sensitivity, either at work or personal. And at times, I get blushed and feel uneasy whenever my sensitivity button is pressed and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Despite managing it and trying to compose myself, its really difficult.
The quote above I believed can't be applied in one's being a sensitive person- reason being is that, being sensitive is a character trait that defines your personality. And it's (traits) in the genes of a person already the very moment a person is conceived in the mother's womb. That is why in principle of a relationship, one must talk about behaviour and not personality. Kaya nga diba as Rudy Fernandez once quote in his movie 'Markang Bungo', "Pare, trabaho lang, walang personalan."

I dont believed either that sensitive is only for the weak in the same way that you can't  measure man's toughness by his strength. For me, Sensitivity can be an asset or liability. It depends on how this can serve its purpose.

Sensitivity to me is  a very relative subject depending on a given situation. One may be sensitive for others who are in dire need. How could you turn your back  when your brother is in dire need for assistance? The best thing that one could do is to offer a helping hand no matter how simple it is. This is where sensitivity becomes an asset. This reflects a good behaviour of a good Samaritan. On the other hand, one might become insensitive when that same person is asking for  help all the time. Although it would be hard to imagine how it hurts to say no, especially when this peson is a close relative, insensitivity here is still considered an asset. Why? Because you enable this person to think for ways to learn how to stand by his own feet and become independent in the end.

This time, I agree, well said amigo

Sensitivity is an emotional factor, this enhances our interaction with others. EQ,a higher  emotional quotient is highly regarded to  high IQ, Intelligent quotient. The reason is,  a person who has a high EQ is flexible and well adjusted specially to team working which is considered a high qualification.
