It's important to respect a person's sensitivity. Some people are very sensitive to people and the impact they have on them. Personally, I know I am a very sensitive person and I can pick up on strange and obtrusive emotions in others. By the same token, I have an active and creative brain that can interpret data and manipulate my surroundings and ideas.
Being emotional or sensitive is not a bad thing, but it places an onus on the individual to establish proper boundaries, and selectively choose the people we have in our lives, limiting toxicity. Overall, I'd say being hyper-sensitive is a double-edged sword. It can produce some wonderful things in the individual but it can also create tension and suffering.
