Hi everyone, I'd like to know whether there is a difference between the words "sensitive" and "tender". I tried to figure it out but am still not sure. Thanks in advance!

When used to describe "physical feelings" there is no difference. As an example; If I hurt my arm I could say it is really tender, or feeling really sensitive. But, 'sensitive' can also to describe you feelings or an emotional state, tender cannot. Example: Be nice to me today, I'm feeling very sensitive. Tender cannot be used in that context, only the physical. Hope that kind of makes sense
