Why do I get so sensitive and where does it come from?

definition
"Sensitivity is not a flaw but your original nature; rejoice in it, for it is a religious quality that connects you to the essence of life."
According to Osho, sensitivity isn’t a flaw but your original nature—every child is born utterly sensitive. Society tries to thicken skins for soldiers, laborers, and intellectuals, numbing the heart. If you feel sensitive, rejoice: it springs from your very being and is a religious quality. Nurture it through lovingness, nourishing company, and attunement to life’s subtle nuances, rather than seeking external causes.
You were born with a gentle, feeling heart; the world tries to harden it, but your sensitivity is natural and good.
Why this matters practically
- Stop pathologizing your feelings; honor them as intelligence.
- Choose people and places that nourish you; set limits with draining ones.
- Practice simple lovingness—with others, nature, and yourself—to deepen and share sensitivity.
