Why Are Scorpios So Emotionally Sensitive?
Scorpios are said to have an emotional sensitivity that is out of balance with their other personality traits. They are guided by their feelings rather than by their powers of reason, and can easily be affected by other people’s moods.
This means that they are extremely intuitive, and often pick up on other people’s feelings, thoughts or intentions. This out of balance emotional sensitivity is often caused by childhood experiences that affect the Scorpio’s ability to process emotions appropriately. This can make them overly sensitive to the world around them, and can also make them prone to mood swings.

It’s important to remember that Scorpios aren’t weak; they are just extremely in tune with their own emotions and those of others. They have incredibly strong instincts and feel things very deeply, and often have a very strong sense of right and wrong.
That said, sometimes they have to learn how to manage their emotions in a more productive way, especially if they are finding them overwhelming.

Modern Living Makes Us All More Emotionally Sensitive
Although it’s true that certain signs have more emotional sensitivity than others, and that the modern world might make everyone a bit more sensitive, there is no denying that Scorpios are particularly affected by this.
As we live in such an overstimulated world, and source of information is greater than ever, it’s no wonder that everything is building up. This means that we are all more prone to stress, and this in turn can make us more sensitive to our emotions.
That’s not to say that there isn’t a place for more emotional sensitivity in the world. If we can learn to understand and nurture our emotions more, we can create a better relationship with ourselves, and with each other.

They are just trying to do their best and it’s not about you. They just need a little extra understanding and some tender loving care.
