Where most people have gradations whenever they feel emotions, people with high sensitivity don’t have that at all. Their emotional distress slider is just an on/off button, where most people have a turn knob. They can be madly in love with someone despite a relationship already being somewhat in a rut for months now, but they can be deeply affected by well-intended constructive criticism as well. It’s definitely somewhat of a minefield to navigate this.
Tends to Overthink
Being stuck in your head with all these emotions can only mean that sooner or later you’re just going to spend hours upon hours milling over something ridiculously insignificant. Because they feel emotions so deeply and so often, they tend to overcompensate by trying to rationalize everything which can really lead to some inner duality. They won’t be able to suppress the emotions, but won’t stop rationalizing until they do. Be aware that this can be a very crippling thing for your partner.
