👉 A person with a paranormal sensitivity to something that most cannot perceive.
Alright class, settle in, let’s take a look! Today we're tackling the word "sensitive," and it's a bit of a tricky one, isn't it? The dictionary gives us a mouthful – “A person with a paranormal sensitivity to something that most cannot perceive.” Let's break that down piece by piece. Now, let’s start with the core idea: sensitive generally means being easily affected or moved by things. Think about it like this - if you see someone cry after watching a sad movie, they might be considered sensitive to emotions. But the dictionary adds something extra – “paranormal sensitivity.” This is where it gets a little more interesting! It suggests that these people aren't just sensitive to ordinary things, but perhaps to energies or experiences that others don’t notice. Here are some ways we can think about "sensitive": Emotionally Sensitive: Easily moved by feelings – happy, sad, angry, etc. Like someone who feels deeply for others. Perceptually Sensitive: Able to pick up on subtle details that most people miss - a faint scent, a change in the weather, or even… (here we pause dramatically) …things beyond our normal senses! The dictionary is hinting at the idea of extrasensory perception , which means sensing things without using your five regular senses. It’s a concept explored in many stories and beliefs about psychic abilities. So, to recap: "Sensitive" can mean being easily affected by emotions or noticing small details, but it also suggests a heightened awareness – maybe even of things beyond what we normally perceive. Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on? Don’t be afraid to ask!
