Why do I always pass out, or get really sick whenever I see anyone in pain, or hear it?

Question

I cant even look at someone with a paper cut or anything or else I feel very light headed and start to pass out. If I see someone grab someone's wrist or pull someone the same thing happens. I can't hear anyone yell like something hurts or even see a look of pain on their faces. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Or how I can make it better?

Answer 1

I have another explanation - I'm sure you are an empath. Doctors can't do a thing about it. It is not a condition, not a disease, not something bad. It is a gift. You are super-sensitive and you can put this to work for yourself and other people.
Have a look at this webpage and see if you recognise yourself

Answer 2

i am pretty much the same. i guess mine comes from the fact , that i am scared. growing up my mom had a thyroid operation, where they cut her neck, (She still has the scar) anyway, what happened, she was under anaesthetic, but turned out, she couldnt move or anything, but she could hear everything, they said while they operated on her. basically hearing this story repeatedly in my childhood put such a fear in me, of being in an uncontrollable situation , and my imagination is so strong - i get really ill. i cant stand someone touching my wrist, my neck, my arm joints(inside elbow) - i dont know why, think i associate these places with, being able to be cut open easily.

the last time i had a blood test, a tiny tiny test, i couldnt walk for almost an hour after, and just had to lie down, i was so physically nauseated by 'i guess a violation of me'... although it was for a medical reason.... i dont know - to be honest, i am scared of having kids one day, cos i just cant handle pain....
good luck, sometimes i just try to be strong, and know soon it will be over.

You most props hate the sight of blood. See a doctor about it. They will tell you what too do (apart from advoid seeing blood).

Rember life is one big adventure. Theres a different path around every courner. Mabey its time to take the next step. As long as you have a breath in your body the next step is always there.

Answer 4

You need to consult a psychiatrist to check the causes of your passing out. May be there are things inside yourself that you are hiding or afraid of... release it and things will get better the next time you encounter again people in pain.... just try it....
