As time has gone on, I've realized more and more how strongly I sometimes pick up on others' emotions. Sometimes it's so strong I can hardly stand it. It seems that the more stressed and busy I am, the worse it is (probably because I'm not grounding and centering as much and not being very conscious of shielding?). Is it just a matter of working on shielding? I don't want to totally supress anything, but sometimes it just feels a little overwhelming. Can anyone point me to some useful sources on the matter or does anyone have any good advice?

I was born with this same gift, and it can be really draining. One of the best things that I have found is in using meditation to practice detachment, but sheilding works also.
If you would like a book that addresses this directly, then pick up a copy of Echo Bodine's new book and CD, The Key. She has lots of great tips about psychic abilities and specifically addresses this issue. You can find her book at Barnes and Noble or at the link below. It's not very expensive, and she gives very easy to understand advice. Good luck!

I found myself with a similar problem a while ago. Mostly I only pick up on others emotions when I choose to, but for a while, I was picking up on a lot more than I wanted to, and especially negative things. I just started asking myself, every time I felt something, if I really felt that way, and if I did, why. If you can't fins a why, than it may not be you (or it could also be depression or SAD, if its negative). I also found a message board about empathy, but I don't remember where it is anymore. Good luck, and if you ever want to talk about it, feel free to message me.

Just keep working on the shielding. And remember to ALWAYS get 'psyched up' every time you stick your head outside of your home! I recently didn't do this when going to an aunt's house and she was so negative I got a pinched nerve in my neck that hurt for 2 weeks! I am very sensitive.

its not a good idea to supress your inner self, it will make you into an evil spirit. the reason for the empathy is so that you can stand out and become what you are meant to become, there are others going into this stage of metamorphosis, a butterfly in the cocoon gets its insides torn apart but its a part of the growth process.

a nice simple excersize i found to work
is mentally picturing yourself inside a sleeping bag .. zipping it right up so that when you wish to open to others , its as easy as unzipping it
i know this sounds ridiculously easy
but it is just a trigger switch to tell yourself not to be open all the time
it has worked for many people i know xx

all human beings is bi-polar one way or yet another. all of us have temper swings. call it bi-polar in case you choose yet I see it as yet another conspiracy from pharmaceutical businesses to make extra funds by promoting extra drugs to depressed human beings. If someone shows to many temper swings or "replace in personalities" the terrific element is to stay away. they could be risky to themselves and others. Edit: playstation One person at the back of many Avatars on Y/A could be a demonstration of unstability besides. pay attention.

Detach yourself and observe, see where it came from and where is it going, is my best way of dealing with them.
