Sensitivo vs Suceptible

People,

I am not finding myself able to truly understand the difference between sensitivo and suceptible.

Any hints?

Dean

"Sensitivo" is something or someone capable of feeling physical sensations.
"Susceptible" is someone who gets offended easily.
And there is also "sensible", which can be a synonym of "sensitivo", but when talking about people, it's used to describe someone who is capable of an emotional reaction to something, like appreciating art, getting moved by a noble action, feeling joy/envy for someone else's success, etc.
