How to handle a sensitive child?

My son is 5 years old and is going to UKG. He is an extremely sensitive boy. The good side of this behavioral triat is that he is very considerate of others feelings. He can tell that someone is upset just by looking into their eyes or from the tone of their voice. He is very considerate of old and infirm people and is always at their beck and call, even if it is the first time that he meets them. The problem is that his eyes swell up at the drop of a hat. He is constantly seeking the company of similarly sensitive children and I must say they are very hard to find among his peers. The end result is that he enjoys the company of adults more than his peers. He spends most of his time in school talking to his teachers. He also gets extremely uncomfortable even if any one around him raises their voice even slightly. He strongly reacts to hostile situations, even if it is just his classmates arguing or fighting over something. I am at times proud of his senstitivity but I also fear if he will be able to survive in this big bad world.
