NOTE

Sensitivity Reveals True Nature

Openness to experience denotes a sensitivity to the intrinsic value of information, while narcissism reveals extreme sensitivity to criticism. Grandiose narcissism specifically amplifies this sensitivity to praise and acclaim. Understanding sensitivity is crucial: one can be sensitive without being a jerk, but the nature of sensitivity matters. It can manifest as compassion for others' suffering or an obsession with personal validation. Such distinctions are rarely highlighted in psychological discourse or broader public discussions, which oversimplify the complexities of sensitivity, particularly in contexts like the gifted community's discussions on overexcitabilities.
