Is there an idiom for describing someone who is oversensitive (emotionally, not physically)?
I vaguely remember something along the lines of "he is all exposed nerves".

Best Answer
to be a bundle of nerves
to be wound too tight [sic]
high-strung
too tense
Then there are loads of these types:
Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs
Nervous as a porcupine in a balloon factory
etc.
