High Neuroticism
Sensitive to stress and strong emotions.
High neuroticism (sometimes called emotional sensitivity) reflects a tendency to experience emotions intensely and recover from stress more slowly. It's not a flaw — many highly creative and empathetic people score here. Awareness plus good support is the lever.
