I agree with Kathie.
Our traits are not completely negative. If they were, they'd have been weeded out long ago through evolution.
My son is supersensitive. That could lead him to have problems with depression and anxiety in later life. But it also makes him perceptive, appropriately cautious, empathetic, etc.
Might he have some pain in life? Yes, it's hard to say how much. I'm aware of the pitfalls and am doing my best to parent accordingly.
Might he make contributions to the world. Also yes.
