I think being sensitive and accepting it, you are more likely to take notice of paranormal events and acknowledge them as such. It may not be that you experience more events than a non-sensitive, but you recognize them when they occur.
Many are sensitive, yet cloak it in terms like "Mother's Intuition." They don't acknowledge their sensitivity or paranormal events they may experience which are outside their comfort zone. My Mother is a good example. She has had paranormal experiences most of her life, two of which were with me. Yet she responds with disbelief when I describe an event I have experienced. She has never accepted her sensitivity, nor mine or my daughters. The comical part is we both got it from her!
Her general response is "Weird things always happen to you." She apparently doesn't want it, therefore she ignores it. I don't think I have more paranormal experiences than my Mother. I just don't automatically discount them as she does.
After many years, I've realized we will never be able to communicate effectively on this subject. So I merely mention things in passing and don't elaborate. I have found others, like my husband, I can discuss with and confide in.
