Definition of sensitive the word

Answer 1

It means receptive to sensation, particularly the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. It's the opposite of numb. If a part of the skin is very sensitive, it is over-receptive to sensation, so the least touch causes pain. By extension this is applied to people's emotional reactions, where some have an emotional reaction to the slightest provocation. It also has an extended meaning when talking about touch-sensitive screens--although the screen does not have feelings, it reacts to the touch of a finger.

Answer 2

"Sensitive" refers to being highly aware or easily affected by external stimuli or emotional situations. It can also describe someone who is considerate and understanding of others' feelings.
