supersensitive
Overly quick reacting
Supersensitive means extremely sensitive—heightened beyond normal levels.
The term applies to instruments that detect minute changes, to people who react strongly to criticism or stimuli, or to skin that responds to the slightest irritation: supersensitive microphones picked up the faintest whisper, He's supersensitive about his weight.
