We all know them; the ones that tear up at the slightest “yab”, the ones that you have to filter your words for fear of hurting them. Dealing with a highly sensitive friend can be quite a hassle. This is because you literally have to walk on eggshells when you are around them with the knowledge that one wrong move could set off the grenade, thus affecting the quality of your relationship.

Your typical highly sensitive friend may go over and beyond for the sake of those they hold dear. However, they have high expectations from you as well and will be offended when you do not meet up, thus temporarily withdrawing from you. It does not matter that you have been there for them the past four times; not coming through for them on the fifth may cause a negative reaction.

Furthermore, your highly sensitive friend may likely misinterpret your reactions. For example, if you feel sad around them without telling them the reason for the emotion you feel, they may be upset, attributing themselves as being the reason for the mood change (which they will not discuss with you).

Try not to take their reactions personally and believe that they cannot control the way they react. You can deal with them by reducing your expectations from them and accept them the way they are.

Sensitive people always want to feel like they are being heard, loved and understood, sometimes always. You need to find a balance if you want to nurture a rewarding relationship with them.
