im not sure if its just my intutive nature but i tend to take on the emotions of those who are close to me....kind of like the man getting sick like his pregnent wife....but it comes whenever i connect with someone....the weird thingis it has only been around for the last 5 years or so...when i was younger i would rarely feel anything from anyone else but anger and depression due to being the outcast or misunderstood...those were my two emotions at the time, but now it seems like all the emotionless times of my past have manifested and expected full payment back as my herat has been deemed a raw nerve ending by myself...
sometimes it can be cool because i am going into psychology and will need this ability to be a good therapist one day but its so hard to differentiate the differance between pure empathy and over indulgence upon another's emotions....it drains me to listen sometimes because i cant force myself to not feel though if my words help i think it is worth it....well anway im not sure if there was a point to this scattered train of thought but i hope someone else out there may have some input on how to deal a little better with feeling so much without the nasty aftertaste of burnout....
