Characteristics of the sensitive soul:

  • They are very emotionally sensitive and are deeply moved by the emotions of others around them.
  • They are inherently drawn toward beauty, structure, order, symmetry, intimate relating, color, texture, expression of feelings, and the natural and spiritual worlds around them.
  • They have a tendency to believe they are somehow connected to everything around them and often feel they effect or can impact their world both in subtle and grand ways.
  • They sometimes are viewed as self-absorbed and even egocentric or selfish by others.
  • They are intuitive feelers and deep thinkers.
  • They often contemplate things deeply and for days and can be strongly moved by
  • subtleties that others would not recognize.
  • They see detail and notice nuance more than others.
  • They are moved with strong emotions of passion, desire, pain, hurt, and love.
  • They often are highly sensitive to feelings in general and can sometimes be overwhelmed by highly stimulating situations where the stimuli are coming from multiple sources at the same time.
  • They are often loners and enjoy spending large amounts of time alone.
  • They often escape to alternative realities they create or ones that have been created through video games, movies, or reading books.
  • They are highly creative and desire an outlet to express their creativity
