Sensible vs Sensitive #1 (permalink) Tue May 26, 2009 6:07 am   Sensible vs Sensitive
 

Hello everyone,

Talking about sense of humor, what is the difference between Sensible and Sensitive?

I hope you want to help...

Greetings from Mexico

Hi,
I didn't get your question, sorry. The two words have two different meaning.

A sensitive person is one who feels slighted at the least critical comment made about them.

A sensible person is one who acts rationally when faced with a problem.

When you are sensible you consider everything you do carefully.

Or when you go on a long walk you better wear sensible shoes. (Meaning that the shoes should be comfortable for a long walk).

If you are sensitive you take offense easily, and you are likely to cry easily, too.
