How to say "thin-skinned" in Japanese

• 神経が鋭いしんけいがするどい
  expression, i-adjectiveCovers the sense 'easily hurt by criticism; thin-skinned'. Use this predicate form in a clause, as in describing someone whose 神経が鋭い. It is the less common way to express this idea.
• 神経の鋭いしんけいのするどい
  expression, i-adjectiveThe same 'thin-skinned, sensitive' sense in attributive form, modifying a noun directly. Like the が version, it is a less common match for 'thin-skinned' and is really a relative-clause variant of it.

Both entries render the same expression 'thin-skinned, sensitive to criticism'; they differ only in form, so choose が inside a clause and の when directly modifying a noun.
