Neuroticism
Neuroticism
Neuroticism is the tendency to experience negative emotions — like anxiety, sadness, or anger — more intensely and more often. It can also be thought of as emotional sensitivity.
Details
Neuroticism is a personality trait characterized by experiencing negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and sadness more frequently and more intensely than others.
Scoring high in neuroticism doesn't mean you're 'weak.' It means you're emotionally sensitive and perceptive. This trait is often linked to artistic sensibility and a heightened ability to detect potential risks.
The good news is that by learning emotion regulation skills, you can turn this sensitivity into a genuine strength. — Mindy
