Learn to have thick skin then. Being overly sensitive is not a positive trait to have.
Of course, being kind is also important. But I feel like some people nowadays are way too sheltered and sensitive to criticism.
in my opinion there's no negative or positive traits one can have, there are just differences
for example lets say that someone is pessimistic, it may be beneficial that this person isn't expecting too much of themselves thus doesn't get hurt if things go in wrong direction, on the other hand it may limit someone's capability if he is too pessimistic.
i think that "traits" aren't set on stone in person, you can change things if you want to, it's just that individual develops them over time and by that defines himself as a person, which means that those "traits" are developed on their own or by their environment, it just depends on what trait you want to take a look at.
sensitive people tend to overthink some situations and possibly learn to avoid such as it hurts them, and on the other hand if something positive happens to them they overthink it too so they're happier than a "normal" person would be, there's just so many variables in such things..
so to conclude this i think that being sensitive isn't something negative, there are different views on it.
