Any words/terms to describe someone who cares too much, showing awareness, taking and experiencing things seriously, thus can get hurt or disappointed easily or more often. Sensitive, oversensitive may not be the right words, because they usually imply "being caring", too. Easily offended is also not the right one, because it doesn't need to be "rational" all the time. If I need to give an example, let's say on one side there is someone who can change partners easily, and also could accept the other part doing that, and on the other side someone who could get hurt easily by such behaviours, because he/she takes and experiences things more seriously, and cares more, so he/she expects the same. (This person can also be sensitive / caring about other people's feelings, trying not to hurt anyone.)

If you want to avoid the use of sensitive because of its association, then you are describing somebody who is empathetic:
[Merriam-Webster]
: involving, characterized by, or based on empathy
// an empathetic social worker who soon realized that the single mother was at her breaking point
// Some canines are even more naturally empathetic to humans.
— Alexandra Gekas, Woman's Day, "9 Things Your Dog Is Trying to Tell You, According to Experts," 25 Feb. 2019
empathy
1 : the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner
also : the capacity for this
People who are empathetic can be more aware of the emotions of others, but that doesn't mean that they are necessarily easily hurt. It's possible for counsellors, for instance, to be empathetic while still remaining aloof and not taking their feelings of their patients personally. On the other hand, people who are empathetic, because of their awareness, are less likely to do things that would hurt other people—and are more inclined to trust people who they feel are the same in return. (A rare exception is the psychopath who is empathetic, and knows how to manipulate others, but who also doesn't care about what other people are feeling aside from how it benefits them—or who, in the extreme, enjoys hurting them.)
