I think sensitivity is often confused with (or combined with) dependancy, neediness, and low self-esteem. This can create a destructive pattern if one thinks being sensitive causes the other three. Ultimately, sensitivity allows one to feel and experience everything. If one is depressed, dependent, needy, or feeling low about self, then one might say their sensitivity is destroying them. But it is not the sensitivity, it is feeling and being aware of self-doubts and negative feelings. Sensitivity is only the messenger.
