They are both on opposite ends of the spectrum and my therapist says middle ground can be good to find. You risk hurting other's feelings if you're too insensitive but then you risk your own feelings being hurt if you're too emotional. I go back and forth but being overly emotional can be quite painful.

@lovebutterflyangel Excellent point of view!

From the point of the sensitive the latter is worse, but from the point of the insensitive they don't care. They don't think "oh, I am being cruel" or they delight it in it one or the other, either way they are indifferent to sufferings caused

@SW-User Precisely! Great answer!

@goneeee Thank you for Best Answer!🍩☕

I think being too insensitive is much worse than over emotional people, because you can often point out to an emotional person how they're responding or reacting to something that may not be aimed at them at all. An insensitive person doesn't care one way or the other.🥀

@Peaches Insensitive people seem inhuman when you think about it. Wonderful answer peaches!
Peaches · F
@goneeee Yes, they're inhuman to me as well, I avoid them when I can. Thanks, I'm glad you liked my answer.🤗

It's possible to be one and the other and decide which to be according to ones own determination of who and why, unless you lack the intellect and self composure required to do so.

My thought then on this is that being habitually one or the other is only half the equation.
There's still the issue of good reasoning and emotionally mature responses.

Not too common in selfish world.

@SteelHands Good points. Thank you! I know drugs can do a lot of damage. I was on pain pills for several months a couple of years ago. When I stopped taking them, I developed the worst case of anxiety. It took a week to feel better again. I only use whole food supplements now. They are safe and no side effects!

@goneeee Good to know. It really is amazing how many things in our environment can and do color emotions.

You know, I was reading somewhere years ago about the testimony given before the Senate just before they decided to put sodium fluoride in the water supplies of western cities.

So I imagine it's impossible not to have at least some things effecting us. All the more reason to work at avoiding contact with things that throw emotions off kilter.

Good talk. Interesting stuff. I'll keep that med thing in mind next time I need a root canal. Lol

"too" = extreme and nothing in the extreme is good

@BlueClapTrap Good point. It would be isolating.

hi olokiju
Too insensitive is worse. I trust emotion because it is an unconscious thought complex which can be dissembled. Too insensitive - cold - is frightening imho.

hi olokiju
haha men you mean! Seriously men lack emotional depth and complexity of women. I asked a question on ep one time how many emotions do you experience at once and men all said one and women all said several. It was that stark!
Best wishes

@sogdianrock Interesting! But I have met both men and woman who are super insensitive.

hi olokiju
Sure Gender is a single dimension in each person's personality matrix. A significant but not determining dimension.
Yes it is very fascinating isn't it.
