A word/term for someone who cares too much / takes things seriously?
Any words/terms to describe someone who cares too much, showing awareness, taking and experiencing things seriously, thus can get hurt or disappointed easily or more often. Sensitive, oversensitive may not be the right words, because they usually imply "being caring", too. Easily offended is also not the right one, because it doesn't need to be "rational" all the time. If I need to give an example, let's say on one side there is someone who can change partners easily, and also could accept the other part doing that, and on the other side someone who could get hurt easily by such behaviours, because he/she takes and experiences things more seriously, and cares more, so he/she expects the same. (This person can also be sensitive / caring about other people's feelings, trying not to hurt anyone.)
