Sensitive or Insensitive?

[Mαrble]

Are you the sensitive (easily hurt but sympathetic) type? Or the insensitive (undauntable but apathetic) type? Or somewhere undefinable? Justify your answer. >=P

[Miss Moonlight]

I'm a sensitive person, that doesn't mean i'm easily offended by everything, though.

[RyuTama]

I'm only sensitive when it concerns those I'm close with. For example, if someone were to insult or spite me, I really couldn't care less. However if my friends or family are hurt, I become a freaking monster.

Sure, I joke with my friends and we exchange stupid elementary insults to tease each other and whatnot, but if someone messes with them with malicious intent, I don't care HOW much of a quiet nerd they think I am, I'll do damage.

[xMatt]

I'm quite insensitive when it comes to my self being trolled/insulted but if someone were to hurt my friends id just bring my most trusted friend and go kick their asses =)

[Saeriel]

I do not have friends, so I can't comment on sensitivity due to loyalty as you all have. However, in answer of the question, I have learned apathy. I manufactured a very good protective shell around my heart. There are very, very few who can, albeit rarely, get through to me. As for being sympathetic for others - it is possible for me to muster sympathy for those whom I relate to, though it is a distant thing. However, I was once a rather sensitive and sympathetic child, a long time ago ^^

Also, my answer to this question makes me sound horrible, heh.

[aerophobia]

Sensitive and sympathetic. But im not always offended by what people may say. Sometimes ill just be in a bad mood and maybe it would get to me. But recently I've felt amazing and i always have wanted to protect my friends whenever i have the chance. I like to think i have a lot of empathy when it comes down to it.

side note: im not allowed to be hurt today, because its my birthday!!! no heart hurtin for me, im as happy as can be!

Makes you human...I can be very empathetic. Sympathy comes hard for me, after what I've been through I can understand your pov saeriel.

Insensitivity, can be defined differently from different people. But I would't consider myself insensitive.

[Genghis Beatrix]

It all depends. If you're some random person on the internet, I will be blunt with my words and not care about what you feel about them. If you are a family member or a close friend, I'll still be blunt, but I will choose my words more carefully.

[SuXrys]

Depends. If it's nothing /no one that I care about then I don't care at at / or atleast not much. But most of the times Im the very opposite: im very sensitive. Im one of those person who still cries to the movie Dumbo. That says about it, I think...

[battousai_ryuu]

I'm a mix of both. If I don't know you and you insult me. I could care less (law of the garbage truck) now if I don't know you and you're going through some kind of hardship I typically have a heart ;-;
If I know you chances (still possible though) are I still won't be hurt if you offend me ^-^ It takes quite a bit to get me raging. I'm pretty easy going for the most part...until that switch is flipped! D<
^_^ Passive aggressive FTW

[Xian Jaguar]

im uber sensitive. easily irritated and upset and sometimes im sympatheic and sometimes apathetic

[wolfgirl90]

Hmm...this is a bit tough. Instead of choosing between the two, I'll just explain how I handle things.

When it comes to my friends and my family, if something is bothering them, I can be sensitive (or rather, sensitive to the point where I will listen to them). I don't like seeing people that I care about being upset, so I will try to help them. However, I am not the "sweet words" type of person (under any circumstance), and if it was something that they messed up on their own or some trivial event, I will tell them. I tell people what they need to hear, whether they like what they are hearing or not. Some people need a gentle nudge in the right direction...and other people need a big kick in the rear in order to learn a lesson.

Outside of my social circle, while there are things that can tug at my heartstrings, I am not easily affected by the words of others. I can be a tough nut to crack. There are a bunch of things that people have made fun of me about over the years (gender, sexuality, race, religion, clothing, blah blah blah), so at this point, there is honestly nothing that anyone can say that I haven't already heard.

And if I haven't heard that insult before, I tip my hat to that person's creativity and go about my business.

[Kaitou+]

Insensitive, of course. You can't hurt me.

But of course, you disrespect me, and I'll put you in your place.

Know your place.

Or injustice or when corruption occurs, which recently happened, then I'll act. Trust me.


That's only when it comes to being confronted or people dare to try me, when it comes to being "sensitive" towards someone's feelings or a situation, it really depends on what is it, but I guess I am mostly sensitive on that regard.

Not completely directed at you.

But I find this hilarious as hell. Sure, it's great you're standing out for your people, I would do that same thing but when people say "I will turn into a freaking monster" it's what I find hilarious because while I know in some cases, when you're angry...like crazy people for example, your anger give you a lot of strength, that's why "crazy" people are dangerous, not only because of their unawareness but their actual strength, but that aside, while I saw people actually win the fight, I saw others getting their asses left and right or following the metaphor, I saw those monsters getting tamed...So much for turning into a monster, lol.


Not that I'm a person that will hurt someone physically or internally for my own amusement or anything, but if we were on this scenario and you were a guy, I would tame you with a One-Hit K.O. It's like they say "An Angry mind is a narrow Mind" and you won't get anywhere just by getting angry.

I felt like pointing that out seeing as it got overused so much in here and in general, basically.

[Chigumi]

Neither.

Im not easily hurt or offended.
Though I can be open to others, cheerful.
But it really depends on the people in the area really.

[X e Y U Z i O]

Apparently I'm insensitive because I am a "cold" person, people are delusional.

[Kaitou+]

I agree.

If anything, you're a very sensitive/delicate flower/butterfly.

[-GAZKUL-]

Insensitive, don't get insulted easily and insult back pretty readily. I go for the tough love approach to stuff and say it like it is.

[The Angelic Anathema]

I'll put this: I'll listen and give my advice or opinion, but, at the end of the day, if you haven't socked me in my nuts, I probably won't care.

[X e Y U Z i O]

i no rite?

[~*Red*~]

I've always been the sensitive type and always will be.

[Haoie]

I've been told I need a thicker skin.

[Lali.]

I'm sort of in between. I'm not so sensitive that I care about every little thing people say about me, but if its something that cuts to the core..especially if someone close to me said it then I'd be hurt.

I dont really care what strangers have to say about me. Doesnt affect me much. xP ♥

[Feferi]

I'm in between. I'm sensitive of other's but I'm insensitive if I have to be. Words can hurt, however, a person needs to hit that certain button. Other than that I don't care much I end up shrugging and let that person be butthurt. I see it as "Well that person obviously don't get my point. I had enough." I keep that in my mind.

Good to be both, not one or the other completely. Especially if you're oversensitive or over-insensitive.

[Bassoonista]

I'm ridiculous. I truthfully take the worst aspects of both but not the good ones. =/

I'm too sensitive to be okay with offensive jokes, and get offended rather easily. However, at the same time when I think somebody is wrong I have no problem pointing it out to them directly and bluntly. Even if I take it too far. Which I have done. D:

[Zeref]

I'm really sensitive to a fault, I find I get upset really easily, even if someone hasn't even done anything, I just assume they hate me or are mad it me. I honestly wish I wasn't like this, because it's just ridiculous.
