Sensitive

Being sensitive means you can easily notice your feelings and understand how others feel too, like when you see a friend is upset and want to cheer them up.

Examples

• My sister is very sensitive, so she often gets upset when someone teases her at school.
• The dog is sensitive to loud noises, so he hides under the bed during thunderstorms.
• When I see my friend looking sad, I try to be sensitive and ask if she’s okay.
