主持人：我发现，被别人说“你太敏感了”真的会让人感到羞耻。就好像我总是情绪反应过度，不知道该怎么和别人相处，好像什么事情都会困扰到我。在学校里或者工作上，如果遇到那种没有明确规则，非常开放的环境，我也会觉得很难适应。而且，我好像没有别人那么强的社交能力，总是很快就觉得累了。因为社会好像不太能接受高敏感的人，所以我总是努力去适应环境，但这让我感觉好像失去了自我，不知道自己到底是谁了。我总是压抑自己的感受，但如果我能把这种高敏感看作是一种超能力，一种能够感受到一切，并且能够把这种感受传递给别人的能力，那该多好啊！如果家长们能意识到，他们正在培养的是一个情感非常敏锐，可能非常有创造力的孩子，那他们会怎么做呢？
