On two levels on which people show most who they really are: that of the very small and the very great; the normal level is social and therefore self-consciously adapted according to the impressions it would make. Details, few ever worry about; and in case of dramatic events, few worry about what impression they will make, either.
If you want to understand people, study them on these nonsocial levels; since dramatic events rarely happen, if you want to understand people, study the subtleties in their behavior, for those come by themselves, without reflection.
Highly sensitive people do this spontaneously, and because of this may find themselves strangely affected by small details. They will often be thought of as overdramatic; but those small details can tell a keen intuition a great deal.
