The normativity of such a statement depends on the values of the person in question. If those values are a known factor, I do believe there is an optimal range of sensitivity one should try to gauge.
Ah. So “people who are oversensitive,” here, means people who are more sensitive to criticism than is optimal according to their own values? Fair enough… thanks for clarifying that.
Exactly. Admittedly there are a lot of people I would like to have different sensitivities to criticism than they have or even want to have, like psychopaths for example. Even that of course doesn’t imply any universal normativity.
