My empathy for both other human beings and animals, which I didn't have a lot of during childhood oddly. I think my discomfort around other children as soon as I started going to school made me dislike them and not care that much. It does go to show that people can change later in life.

Being very sensitive can have both its upsides and its downsides - empathy on the one hand, anxiety on the other.
