I know this is a long shot, but if you are an empathetic person, please let me know how to deal with the emotions of others. I recently just realized how empathetic I am. For years, I could always tell if somebody was lying about their feelings; and I get vibes from people. It is also easier to predict the future because of this. I can feel the pain of others, and it lingers with me for hours. I know most people don't believe or understand this phenomenon, but it is real to me. Please help me. People with problems flock to me, and sometimes it can be more than I can handle. How do you learn to let their feelings go? How do you deal with the waiting for an outcome you know will happen (I am not usually a patient person)? When you know somebody says, "Let's get together some time," and you know that you will never see them again, how do you deal with that? It is really overwhelming. Please help; please don't reply if you don't believe. It's fine if you don't, but don't make this a debate
