My personal belief is that our society has become cold in that people greatly hold back deep expressions of empathy. I have always viewed 99 percent of being 'sensitive' as being strong. IMHO, I think it is in our weaker moments that we hold back, and I also think that takes away from our "human" qualities. I am a very, very sensitive, emotional and empathetic guy, and society still holds prejudice against that quality in men. I think it is a beautiful quality in both women and men. Please don't ever be ashamed of it. :-)
Best as always..
Jay
