While highly sensitive individuals may encounter greater challenges in stressful situations, they also demonstrate heightened receptivity to positive and affirming experiences. Conversely, individuals with lower sensitivity typically exhibit enhanced resilience in the face of adversity, yet they tend to derive less benefit from uplifting experiences.

People exhibit variability in social sensitivity attributed to a confluence of genetic determinants that influence the neurological processing of social cues and environmental factors. Certain individuals demonstrate heightened awareness of nuanced social signals and emotional undercurrents, commonly identified as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), a trait that possesses hereditary components. Furthermore, formative experiences during early childhood significantly contribute to the development and modulation of individual social sensitivity levels.
